I already know how to throw a basic 3. But how do I cork it out?

youd be better off learning cork 5s first...but...carve into it pretty hard and grab for leading safety

when i go off axis on my threes i just carve into the lip more and drop my shoulder slightly... there hard to get completely corked because you hav such little spin to get completely off axis

corked threes usually end up in cork 450s for me..5s are much easier as stated already

agreed. i try to grab my left tail, with my right hand, uncrossed skis. ( i spin left) and it gets me corked real fast. but 3's are super hard to come back out of. so ust go for a five if your just learning cork.

follow this like butteryassmondays trick tips.. you dont need to learn other stuff first. i thought cork 3's were the coolest shits ever so i learned them before the other stuff.

The smaller the spin is, the harder it is to cork it.  Go for a big cork 5 first, then work your way down.

Not neccesarily, corking isn't the hard part. But a smaller spin is definitely going to be more corked, and therefore harder to uncork.
