If it's too slow for you at first, let it cycle through once or twice and it will speed up to a somewhat bearable rate.

Leave this window open for a couple of minutes, it should start moving...
If not, some form of ad blocker may be stopping it from moving...
That's all that I can think of.

why it is a cork... in my opinion. Cork has come to mean the type of off axis rotation, similar to how a rodeo and mistys have their own type of axis even through different degrees of rotation(or the kang flip for example). It isn't what a traditionalist might call a full "corkscrew" spin, but that has faded away from freeskiing... We are going after "cork" spins... My main justification is this: if you do a cork 720, you do a cork 720 because it is catagorized by that type of axis. If you do a cork 900, which may be a continuation of the 720, is still the same type of axis. But I think the main point is the cork 720 had the potential to turn into a cork 900, so a cork 180 could turn into a cork 360, which could then turn into a cork 540, and so on...

so it isn't a "corkscrew," but its axis would be in the catagory of what we have come to know as "cork"

sorry, im fucking tired, but its a cork

your wrong. it is corked and it is EXACTLY like the "switch" and "fakie" because they are just different names like TOmato, toMAto
oh and if you can pull a stright air carving and being "off axis" please post it
but its impossible. dont try to act all tough
we know your just doing this to be an asshole and its working
