Ok guys heres the deal. My buddys and I are in heated debate about which trick is easier to learn. I am 100% positive that cork 3's are harder, but my friends are being stubborn as shit. So tell em' NS.

cork 7s you can just huck em but cork 3's you have to spot more and actually have control over your spin and body

winner is cork 7

I actually learned cork 3's before I learned cork 7's.

But yeah the rotation of a cork 7 makes way more sense

HAH come on now, cork 7's are the basic cork. cork 3's are so damn difficult in comparison.

The responses ive gotten from them are ridiculous. there hating hard on the NS population. My friend claims that he learned cork 3's a couple days ago on the jumps at killington (15 feet max i think, maybe smaller). He wont believe any body tellin him 7s are easier ether.

Really depends on where you are ability wise in skiing. If you are only somewhat comfortable with 7's, cork 3's are probably easier to learn. If you're really comfortable with regular spins up to say 9, a cork 7 is much easier. For a lot of people that can cork 3 and 7, its generally easier to cork 7 because you set the spin more off the lip with first your pop, then your upper body/arms and it comes around perfectly. A cork three on the other hand requires a lot of hip thrust (yep, I said it), which is a lot different than other tricks.

cork 7's are easier to huck and go with, for 3's i just carve like a bastard off the lip but not retarded (how I learned underflips) and just try to stay as composed as possible. threes are easer if you can keep your composure which is tough.

He probably did a lincoln loop and thinks that it's a cork 3. That's probably what happened honestly.

Ahhh, yeah, there's that too. Lot's of people think that they're going corked when they just go a little off axis. Tsk tsk.

"Cork 3's are easier, just think about it, spinning a 3 is so much easier than 7, how could 7 be easier?"

some people find c3s easier than cork 7s... what's not to get? difficulty is subjective. for instance i can do really nice cork 3s theyre my favorite trick, and underflips and cork 5s and stuff but ive never done a 7 at all besides like 5 foot switch 7s just fucking around

I understand that its a matter of opinion, but he is saying this because he thinks his wobble is a legit cork 3. he thinks a normal 3 and a cork 3 are similar in how you throw them
