Is corking spins really easier than straight spinning?

so, ive discovered another retard problem of mine today is whenever i spin more than 5 i go off axis. i feel stupid because i could land grabbed nines before and now im down to just 5's. Whenever i spin it seems like i spin however much i want fine and then the last 180 of my rotation i go off axis and eat it lol.

Ive been noticing lately alota talk about people learning corks since its the last few weeks of everyones season and ive seen on a number of times and heard from a few real sick people that they only spin corked past a 5 so they dont have to "worry" about staying on a axis because the corkness puts them off and back on axis perfect.

i wanted to learn cork 7's and 9s before season was over anyway so does it make sense to just go for cork 7 inatead of regular 7 next time i go? I can cork on tramp really good and have landed a few onto an airbag in the beginning of the season and i think i understand how to do them better now anyway. what you guys think?

i think cork 7's are a lot easier than on axis 7's, If you throw the cork just like you do on a trampoline and commit you'll bring it around fine! you might wash out or land backseat the first few times

cork is easier because you spin faster than straight upright. but you have to learn normal spins before corks

i dont know if this applies, because i am snowboarder, but i cannot spin on axis, 3's, 5's, 7's, it doesnt matter. its something im pretty much totally okay with.


so i guess in some cases yes its easier to spin corked than straight.

Last year I could spin a 7 real consistently, yeah they looked kind of sketchy, but I had them down and was starting to get them looking better but the end of the season. This year, after learning corks and double corks on thhe tramp, I can't spin past a 5 any more, and can only 5 on bigger jumps so I don't go off axis so I'm kind of in the same boat as you, also looking to learn corks because I think once I learned them, they'd be alot easier than regular spins

I've never been able to land anything larger than a 7 on-axis. I have no idea how guys can land on-axis 12s and 14s. It's baffling.
