this might sound alittle fruity but it helps me on the tramp. i like to think of my hand being on an orbit and its on and angle tilting down to the way you spin and i just guide my arms along it to set. look over your shoulder and dip.

use ur leading hand duuuhhzz. Just remember, the reason people struggle with this trick is because they lose their "air awareness" halfway through. Keep looking and you''ll come around mo-fuka

set a spin at a decent speed and tuck your knees in. your tilt in axis, knees, and set will do basically do everything for you.you dont need to be that off axis. you can work your way up to a higher tilt in axis. most of the time people will just go for it and accidentally go into a death spin.

Don't waste time trying to throw cork 5s and 7s when you're learning. 9s and even 10s are easier. Not kidding. Learn the feeling of going cork on higher spins and then work on the smaller ones.

depending on which way you spin, pretend like there is a midget trying to strangle you from behind, proceed to punch him in the face over your shoulder

Im not sure if this actualy work, may be you can be the one to test it out, but i heard just look at right heal (if spinning left) and that will cause you to drop your shoulder and cork
