wait.. what?... why are cork threes everyones best trick? or why cant you do them...
cork threes are just generally dope, and thrown different from regular corks making them, for some people more difficult, but also they are really good to steez out because of the floaty loopy - ness of them

If you have trouble with cork 3's, do one of 2 things.

Set your cork harder(drop that shoulder).

Go way fucking bigger.

And plenty of people see cork 5's as easier than cork 3's, you have way more rotation to get back on axis.

Almost everyone THINKS they can cork 3. Not a lot of people really do them like T-Hall or JP.

no one does them like candide with a pole plant.

for doing cork threes i like to carve into it, and you absolutely do not need to huck the spin, the jump should be large enough to not. then drop your shoulder, follow it around. i would recomend learning cork 5s first, as they are easier and you will get a better sense of righting yourself getting out of the cork.

if you keep end up doing cork 5's rather than 3's (like i used to do), then you need to over exagerate the point of rotating (spinning) super slow, like i think of rotating less than a 3, like a 270, and that gives you time to come out of the cork so you can land it rather than less time which often causes you to come out of it later resulting in 5 or such..

find a thread about this and gotamabcshredder does a great explaination, you gotta jump out and let your cork become flat right away. Try a hard carve three and see what happens.

UUUHHHH, i pretty much cant come close to a cork 3, I over rotate to 5 or to dead. Def not every one can do one, I would rather take a 0spin way big than throw a cork 3. some stuffs easy for some not for others
