I landed my first cork five today, second try, pretty stoked.  But I am having some problems bringing myself back on axis.  Anyone have and tips on getting back on axis so I'm not landing on my tips every hit?

well considering you have only tried 2 and landed one, then i would say you are doing fine and if you keep doing what youre doing then you will get the hang of it

the more you carve off the lip the better chance you have of NOT landing on your face.

yea dude, so when you go to do it, dont throw it corked right away, throw a normal spin and bring your knees up to your chest at like 180. another way you can do it is just throw a high grab in there and most of the time you'll cork it out.. peace out good luck

Don't drop it too much. You'll setup for an underflip. Just get that nice shoulder sag up in thurrrrr.

just throw a 5 and bring your knees up to your chest, i just started doing them that way and it works fantastic. the other way i used to do them which works well to is to throw it to your tails and look at them as your going off

bump

I'm having trouble keeping my legs/feet together at the end of the spin thus sometimes landing on 1 foot. i seem pretty clean in the air until the very end, any ideas?
