Cork Question

For starters, I posted this in Non-Ski Gabber because it has to do with trampoline.

This weekend I got really sick at trampolining (for me that's rodeos, backflips, superman fronts etc. I'm not very good) anyway, I have done about 4 cork fives, but I can't seem to un-cork consistently, anyone have to tips on how to un-cork a spin? +K for good answers

well considering the cork is almost a rotation itself your not really uncorking.. you should just be following through with the off axis rotation

you can still put it into skigabber since it relates to your trickery

I am also kind of interested in this. Can do off-axis spins like rodeos and misty's on a tramp but when I try to do a corked spin I always just land on my back.

I can cork on a trampoline, but whenever I attempt a cork on skis, i throw an underflips instead

if you're not "un corking" youre probably not throwing it right, or not throwing it hard enough. I would try either making sure you're throwing it right (watch some videos or something) or throw it harder because if you throw it right you'll eventually come back upright either way

try d-spins to get the feeling of spining upside down then start dropping your shoulder more and more till your just getting corked. worked for me. good luck!

i was throwing cork 10s and big air cork 7s and the local gymnastics center drop in the other night super dope, but i seem to be having the same problem spinning too, the cork is almost conmstant, i could barely 3 without inverting

go to cork 7. at 5, your not fully out of the natural rotation so you need to put a lot of effort in to come out of it, with a 7 you just naturally come out of it
