did you drop your shoulders and set your spin really hard? that might be why you did the cork 5 instead..  so maybe just carve off and drop your shoulder.  and dont set your spin hard

i learned them on tramps before i got hurt but what i do is bring my right knee to my left shoulder and that should set you cork for 3 and carve into the lip so you can use your right leg and this technique makes it super easy to grab safety/kang

try grabbing leading inside safety, this will make your wait uneven and cork you out.

whenever i set it like a 3 i go 5 to. So now i set it like an over rotated 180

ya digg
