Easiest cork for small jumps?

Im goin up grouse tomorrow night, and i was wondering what the best cork is to throw off a pretty small table. I have landed every spin up to a 720 off of it (but it was really fast). Can you do cork 3's fast or do they need to be floated? are corked 540s easier to huck or am i better of just going for the seven?

ya i was talking about cork 180s.........
if you really wanna do something flashy off the jump try misty 5 or underflip, you dont need much air for those

If you're very confident with your air awareness you can go for the cork 3- but otherwise I'd recommend trying the 5 or the 7. I tried the five first and landed on my face a few times, but I felt like I had more control in the air.

A great way to get used to it is to set your spin regularly, but right off the lip tuck your legs in and stare down at your bindings. You'll cork naturally- the hard part is keeping the rotation going without any hesitation.

May want to actually go for an underflip, they seem easier than a cork 5 because to me you set the rotation the same but instead of leveling off your cork spin you just keep it going until are inverted, almost like a Dspin without the full rotation....if that makes sense
