I just can't seem to get them, will someone please tell me what's wrong...there is a vid in the winter section call 'corked 7 attempt' posted by ballrailer and the skier is me, pat. Please watch it and tell me what's wrong. It's weird, after i'm done a five it's like i just stop rotating and completely eat shit.

your trying to throw it down way to hard, try setting it more like a normal 7 and dont think about the cork so much, right now your throwin fucked up d spins and your not landing cause your in a fucked up position, can you throw straight 7s?

yes i can throw straight sevens, but i almost need to huck it cuz the jumps sooo small and it's the biggest one at our excuse for a ski tow. i alcan get the seven it's just i don't want a spin where people are like, ohhh that was barely corked or, that wasn't even corked, i want it to look like that one because i think that one looks damn good.

well if you arched your back out of that one it would be a d spin, and no to knock your style or anything, but who gives a shit if some kids are sayin shit wasnt corked, even if theyre throwin down switch cork 9s theyd still be bitches for talkin shit

i found, that after 5 i would get freaked out that i wasnt going to make it, so i just opened up, therefore stopping my rotation, therefore, not having the vectors to bring me back around

Actually, what is the difference between a corked 3, and a 'Backcountry 3'? You don't go inverted on either right? They just both seem to be the same trick. Since we are on the matter of corked spins I decided I would ask. Thanks guys.

I was just tried my first one. i got around all the way but I didn't come uncorked and I landed on my back. Any advice for uncorking?

For the kid in the vid, I just think you;re popping wrong. I throw them a little more under my armpit kinda. it looks like youre setting it like a dspin over the shoulder and down. i dunno. my two cents.

All i know is that to many people throw cork 7's. Yeah they are great and all but i'd like to see more 5's and 3's and what not
