It is easier to pop. However, when a jump has wide enough takeoff and landing to accomadate the drift included in a carved takeoff, go for it. I like the carve variety better, but do the pop more often.
Last year I started carving into the lip and it threw me into a cork one time so now I do all my corks by carving so much easier idk if that made any sense
carving in takes alot of concentration i think. then doing it alley-oop style, whoah, i can do it, but man, i feel like a million things are running through my head.
easier to pop but once u learn to carve of lips it feels easier and smoother...of course if u dont have a wide lip then usually ull just hit it strait and pop
I think that popping is easier, but it will make your spins look uglier and have much less style. I've been carving into EVERY trick I have done this season, and Im even trying to learn how to carve with switch spins. Most of my friends have agreed that when you carve it always looks better, and you dont have to go corked if you carve in. So definitely learn how to carve into your spins.
this is a good thread. yea the jumps i hit are small and have alot of lip. so if thier is a jump that is flat and less lip i should carv if i was to cork?
Off a 2 jump kicker, I carve off to the left on the right jump. I end up landing in the left jump's landing . I say go in from the left, carve left like this

pop and spin is easier.
its fun to carve off though and looks steezy if you can do it clean, like bibby in skimatic, and sometimes you get a nice cork into it
