so i just got my cork 7s and 9s down and by the end of the season i want to try a dub cork... i know how to set it and all but im not sure when to do the second cork.... should i come out of the first cork at 5 and start the second at 7? ( i put this in trick tip but it doesnt seem to be doing much)

to be honest when your doing a dub cork your not gonna be able to think in the air ok cork 5 to sw cork 5 or what ever, just throw it and try and get both corks around as fast as u can, the more time u have to spot your landing at the end the better chance u will have to stomp it

im doing the same thing youre doing. only i dont care what season i land it in. i just want one. got my 9s and 10s decent enough. i feel like if i were to throw a dub i would have no idea where i am in the air until i come out of the second cork. which is the problem cause im not sure how i would come out of it.

My tip is do some other dubs first and if u get those down and still wanna try it then its like on a tramp when u do it u kinda do a cork 630 then go into a flat 450 sorta its wierd at first and wat u should do is practice doing cork 7s on the tramp and landing on ur back then try a few dub corks u need a lot of air time so u might not bring it around if u feel comfortable with that then bring it to skis.

My 2 cents

i have dub backs... but im wierd i am to scared to try a dub back on a tramp but im not scared at all to try it off a park jump... i have been trying them into the faom pit at woodward but i have to go for bio instead of cork because its on a tramp and it would be kind of like a gainer... and thanks for all the advice from everyone else +++++K

seems like you should throw the first rotation like you're going to land above the takeoff like a stepup, then when you come back on axis the first time drop your leading shoulder

I am tempted to try them as well. I have been working them on the trampoline a bit. Try to get cork 10s on the tramp but try to stop the cork after 7 and just do a 360 after. And then I would do that and right at about 630 drop your inside shoulder and transfer your "weight" and turn your head to your inside shoulder.

Train the double on tramp, it is usually a dub cork 10 on tramp.  Then after you have got it on lock find a pow jump or a safe table with a soft landing and throw it exactly how you do on tramp.  I did that at water ramps and my first dub cork was dub 12.  So idk what your spin will be but it is usually more than it is on tramp.  I just landed my first dub cork 2 days ago, DUB CORK 1440!!!  I am stoked on mine and good luck with yours
