cork 7= 180 then misty 5. That was the easiest way for me.

*REMEMBER*

and think about landing on ur feet

never thought of it this way but kinda makes sense.

for me when i was learning cork i set the spin the exact same way as if it was upright. I spin left, so i lead with my left arm. I slowly just started throwing my left arm towards my lower leg rather than throwing it straight across my body. To set a cork (if you spin left) reach with your left hand around your back attempting to grab your right knee cap. There's almost no way you will grab your knee cap but this will send you into the rotation perfectly. good luck!

good to hear man! after you get that down the harder you set for a spin the less you need to reach for.

Example. If you set for a cork 10, set your left arm as if you want to reach around your back and grab your right hip. The higher the spin is, the more natural the cork comes around. So you don't have to set the cork nearly as hard on bigger spins. hope this makes sense. get after it!
