Throw spin like a normal 5, except drop leading shoulder a bit and look down behind you instead of at the horizon (The lower you look, the more corked you'll be). Be sure you're tucking your spin (or you'll land on your face), and grabbing it actually helps (Start with a safety or another easy grab). Keep it tight until you're back on axis. I try to spot my landing under my lead arm. Try it on a trampoline first if you can.

BTW, a cork 5 is actually more difficult than a cork 7 because the landing can be a little blind and the rotation to 7 is more natural.

or you can overrotate a cork 3 (which is actaully a corked lincoln). there are two ways to throw them.

-corked linclon 180 (see pollard's edit)
-cork 7 minus 180, which is just the spin horizontal.


i think the 1st way is way cooler and more baller.

carve. when you leave the lip, you can be turned almost 90 degrees and leaning pretty far back. If you spin to the left, drop your left shoulder and look over your left shoulder at the ground (like Caleb said). It also always helps me to tuck my knees; if you can do a truckdriver or safety, do it. Personally, I think the rotation on cork 5s is easier to get than cork 7s (and both are easier than cork 3s at first).

I gave up on these for a while after I tried 26 times and all I got was one d-spin 7 that I somehow landed, a severly sprained knee that has kept me out 4 weeks, and a concussion from landing on my head on a 45 footer. Try it in the backcountry.

this is good advice, but if you are turned to almost 90 degrees when you leave the lip, you may encounter some problems. You always want to be going straight off the lip when you're carving, but this is not to say that you can't carve super hard into the spin, just make sure that you are going straight off the jump. I think that is what you meant though
