I have been doing 720's for about 2½ yrs now. and now i can do switch 9's and regular 9's very comfortly. but i just cant get the 720 work?? it always opens somehow and i usually land on backweight if u know what i mean.. i can do em lil better when i cork it than just doind reg 7.. so any help how to do cork 720's without landing on backweight..? (how to set the rotation + how to keep it on the axis, all videos are appreciated too.)

Maybe come of the jump with a bit more forward pressure and keep your head looking straight, not up or down

I used to do that, you go corked a little and don't bring it back.

Always landing backseat, Just make sure you throw directly to the side and not like under or over your shoulder.

Just keep throwing

It's a common problem...

I had same problem, you have to pop and keep your head up! Make sure you pop (but you prbly do it right if you can 9 and sw9, it's not your problem) then keep your head up, look strait in front of you, don't look down (at your landing) untill your rotation untill the end of your rotation (after 630).
