Cork and off-axis rotations

it seems to me that no one has really figured out corks and such correctly
mostly people just spin while doing a backflip or frontflip or lincoln loop but that doesnt look right to me

it also seems that some people can get corks but they don't really "uncork" and the landing doesnt work right

ive messed around with basically doing about 1/3 lincoln one way and and then half way through switching up and lincoln looping back so it looks like a legit cork 1080 or 720 or whatever

anybody else tried this? ive watched a lot of videos but none seem to look like this, ill work on putting up a video of what im talking about after finals and let me know what you think

yah, i've seen it, done it some, but it doesn't seem worth the effort, cuz just a regluar lincoln looks pretty good

if you do a really slow lincoln loop+360 it is a cork three. textbook

I tried to perfect the cork with the arrow keys. But i couldn't get it. Every now and then i would land a super sketch cork 7 but barely.

If you try to cork by carving of the jump right at the last second it works really well...

but it takes a couple tries to get it but it's basically the same way as you'd do it in real life.

If you flip a quarter of a lincoln and spin a 3, 5  or anything and then flip back the other way and you can cork spins

Ok, so spin off the jump/drop like normal.  once your clearly in the air, do a little bit of a lincoln loop to start cork, then wen you have the spin, do a little bit of a lincoln loop the other way to uncork
