i consider a true cork spinning at least 45% off axis with your feet in front(throw your body back) but so they never go over your head

A cork is when your body is horizontal to the ground and you spin. A D-Spin or flatspin is when your feet are above your head.

spinning off axis-- skis facing down mtn... try it on a trampoline first, then powder. If you have to ask if its corked, it's not corked.

uhh i dont think so. Im pretty sure if A cork or misty go above your head its just considered a D-spin and misty has nothing to do with it. I could be wrong though
