so i did a cork 5 one run. then i tried again and ended up doing a sloppy backflip 360, has anybody else had this problem and solved it? im pretty sure im doing too much flip when i need to do more spin but i cant figure out how to fix that mentally... thanks

i cant do corks or backflip 3's on skis, but i can on my trampoline, and sometimes this happens to me. my guess is your "looking" to far down which causes you to flip, so try not to look so far down when you go to cork

im too much of a pussy to try cork spins actually skiing. i can do them fine on tramps but with the exception of into powder, im scared to try a lot stuff.

same thing happened to me last year, focus on spinning and not getting cork. just drop your shoulder and make sure you keep spinning

think about setting the spin and then going corked.  you're probably rushing into the cork

yeah ive corked at water ramps, and havent got a good enough jump to try it on yet, but when i was learning, the thing that helped me was to focus on spinning about 90 degrees straight up, and then dropping my lead shoulder.

it sounds like your worrying about getting cork two much. you need to focus on the spin to.  just work on this and you will eventually get it.
