some people will tell you that you have to be a certain amount off axis. Say you only go 45 or 30 degrees off axis somebody will be there to tell you it wasn't corked it was just off axis. Corked means off axis spin. There are other axises though like d-spin and rodeo. This is corked: /

A rodeo isnt an off axis spin however, its more of a spinning backflip since you go completely inverted.

umm im not sure of the chemical makeup of cork, its kind of a wierd thing. i think its spongy wood. but it might be like cardboard or something. or maybe its some magical subsatnce that no one knows how its made, like pez, that shit is magic.

Its a spin with a small degree of backwards rotation. A bit more and you Rodeo (full inversion).

Rodeo's are not the same type of spin as a cork or d-spin. You set your rotation in a rodeo entirely different, whereas the difference between setting a cork and a d-spin is a matter of how hard you huck yourself. And thats my final word on the matter.
