Learn to cork on trampolines first.

Trying corks into foam pits will get your confidence up too. Try it from all heights.

well here is what I do, I come up to the jump with just a little bit of a carve into it ( carving to the left ) and take my right hand and throw it towreds my left ski tail ( across the chest ) and suck my knees up. Its important to throw it right at the top of the lip or later. Go for a cork 7 first , they are the easyer then five and three.

make sure you have them down on tramps, and when you throw it on skis, make sure you dont dip your shoulder to far back or it will throw you into an underflip, try to reach back for a cuban grab really hard, or if its on a bigger jump then start to spin and when you are at 180 reach for lead tail.

if you really carve off a jump it will naturally throw you into a cork as well.

this is how i learned.
1. youll want to find a farelly poppy jump that your comfortable doing 7s on
2.youll want to set just as hard, except dont lean as forward as you would usually do.
3.right when you start to spin look over shoulder as much as you can
4. land it like a pimp

I never thought corks would be so easy until i learned this year, i cork 7nd and 9nd before i ever normally 7nd.  All i do is just throw it hard and drop my left shoulder as im throwing, go for the grab and it comes right around so smoothly.

Seachbar would have revealed this gem, had you used it:


Rowen gives an overview of a lot of different spins and flips. It's worth a look.
