So my friend and I were arguing what a true cork is, and he is seriously convinced you have to flip when doing a cork; I thought it was something that was more of a tilt. Anyone care to clarify, because clearly one of us is wrong :(

it's an off axis spin in which your head doesnt technically go below your waist. seriously though, searchbar, google, wikipedia that shit, do something else other than make this thread.

By definition, a cork is off axis but not inverted. Feet below the head.

A few years ago a cork spin was considered off axis but not inverted, but it seems that more and more people today consider a cork to be any sort of backwards flipping spin.

corks are spins off axis, when i do a cork i am flat in the air, you do not have to have your feet over your head.
