Go for either a cork 5 or 7 first. They are easier then cork 3s.

Just drop the shoulder and figure it from there most of us learn cork spins from accidently doing them.

7s. 3s are kinda easy but they are completely different than 7s. some ppl cork 5 like they do 7s and others like they do 3s.

make sure the jumps overly big enough. big mistake is not having enough air. this weekend i tried a cork 7 over a really small 20 to 30 foot table right as i was coming out of it i hit, bit through my lip fucked up back and a raging head ache

3's are alot easier than 5's or 7's for me.  I cant even do a cork 7 yet.  When starting corks, dont over cork your spins or you will prob get hurt when first learning.  When starting cork 3's, just start falling slightly off axis on your 3's until u get more comfortable going more off axis.
