A video would help, but I'm guessing knees to chest...

For me it helps to grab safety, or try and by doing so i drop my shoulder and bring my knee's to my chest, and thus cork.

try and look back up. that tends to bring you out of cork. when you set you drop shoulder and look down. looking up should turn you  the opposite way

just tried my first one this last weekend and i just dipped my shoulder spun and kinda "grabbed my knees" or brought them up i dont really know, but i successfully landed a cork seven and a cork 9 before i have even done an on axis 7. They are super easy imo, like easier than a three on the same jump.

What I do is carve into it super hard then drop my shoulder and bring my knees to my chest.
It comes right around.

what size jump did you try it on? cause i wana try one too but it seems all the jumps at my mountain (stevens pass) might be too big or two small to do one on.

first hit i road away, so did a friend. just dont hesitate at all and go for it and it will probably work out, i always wanted to try off axis and inverted things off pow jumps but just decided to try it on scary park ones and it worked out
