ok its pretty fucking simple. cork is defined as off axis. PK spun 1260 degrees and went off axis twice. now comes the fucking tricky part: 1 off axis spin + 1 off axis spin = a double off axis spin, aka a double fucking cork 1260. seriously is it that fucking hard?

Com'on, if you consider the first 720degrees he spins to be fully corked, then all my spins are freaking corked.  Im a cork master!!!!

In reality, he spins the first 720 degrees in a semi corked manner (some peps called that cork but thats cause they dont know what a real cork is) and in the last 540 degrees spun, thats when he really becomes corked, late corked...


In the end, I dont care if peps call it a double cork, all thats matters is he should have won the big air with his 1260 and only a more corked out "double cork"  should have pushed his off the highest step on the podium, npt a freaking front flip x2.

if you go back and analyze the footage i think it is plain to see that PK does a 1/4 cork to temporary delayed/procrastinated full cork 1260.  Instead of referring to it as a "dub cork 1260" i think we should call it for what it is: a "1/4 cork to delayed full cork 1260." 

now that i think about it....when he does it switch he sort of carves off the lip a little bit so he is not going "truly switch" so i think that technically we should doc a degree or two and the second trick he did at x games is REALLY just a "partial switch 1/4 cork to delayed full cork 1247."

PK does the weirdest shit... that 1260 looked like a late cork almost, like it was very slightly (almost unnoticeably) off axis until the very end where he tweaks the fuck out of his rotation. Makes no sense. Absolutely loved it. Dumont's double front was pretty sexy but it had nothing on PK. I think XGames determines the outcomes of these events ahead of time...
