im planning on trying a cork 7 next year but i was wondering if i should learn a cork 5? on tramps i can do real good cork 7s and cork 9s and everything but im bad at cork 5s, like you throw them way differently, and i can do cork 7s off things onto the ground, but i cant do a cork 5. should i just go for a cork 7 and not even think about trying a cork 5 first?

if you carve, corked 5's are actually really easy, i can barely do em on a tramp but i can land em 99 percent of the time on skis.

dude the easyest way is to satart switch. if you want to do it even easer do a 14. and if you still cant do that try a dub cork. theyre pretty easy if you put them all together. the hard part is breaking them down into different tricks

cork 5s are way easy, just carve alot. Idunno landing backwards is just easier for me

every time i see a cork 5 on a tramp, kids are throwing themself forward but when i see corked 5s on skis people are throwing themselfs backwards. Is it posibble to throw yoursefelf (backwards) into a cork 5 on a tramp?
