With corks I carve into the jump and drop my head down a bit and it just all comes together. With bios you through yourself to the front a little bit and sort of spin to the side. It's hard to explain how to do corks. Try that stuff on a tramp before you start throwing it off kickers.

throw a shoulder up or down along with the spin. Look down at the floor. That should get you corking.

i can do em on tramp, but theres no snow to do them now. just try cork 3's first, just carve up the jump the way u spin and look at your boot, and magic happens. when i cork 5 or 7 on tramp, i just spin and look back dropping my shoulder. to bio on tramp, i just throw my shoulder forward, and spin.

It must come easier for some than others. I consider myself a fairly quick leaner, but when it comes to these....I just couldn't get it down at CoC, with coaches helping me!

Youre going misty because you throw it to the side, which can become cork, but when you throw it that way, you have to look down at your heel binding and kind of kick you legs back. A better way to do it is to throw it almost normal, then look back with your head at your heel binding in the direction you spin. Most of the time you should just come right out of it and land.

Spin hard off the jump, while droping down and to the left. You'll either flip all the was as in a D-spin, or if you don't throw down all that hard you'll do a cork. Just imagine it as a spin, droped like a lincon, but without the loop.
