hahah wtf. Three times? You dingus go and try it more. And carve for cork three but spin with your arms a little more

grab for the lip and lean in

Spot your landing Trent. You should be seeing that shit super early.

I try to usually land them in my feet.

Damn iPod ^^^ on my feet

How are we supposed to give you proper advice if we don't know what you're doing wrong? Get someone to film it, post it here, then we'll help more effectivly.

It's quite easy when you get the idea how  uset the rotation. carving helps alot. start by carving left/right (depends which side u gonan spin) and set the cork by throwing your shoulder to the uphill.. or in the "ground" and try to keep your head down... yh the video would help alot.

Matt Margetts says it best.

For starters you should be able to carve, do a straight air Tail Grab, land solidly switch, and have your 3s on lock. Find a jump more than three metres long, a halfpipe or a backcountry booter and get down to business.

There are two ways to do this trick: straight, pop, and dip a Cork Five or, like me, you can carve into it like a pimp. I’ll describe the latter: come in hands low and out front, aggressively with your shins pressed hard into the tongues of your boots on the far left of the in-run. Carve right into the transition, then carve left off the far right-hand side of the takeoff.

As you approach the lip press hard into the takeoff with both left edges. Be very patient and allow your tips to come off the end of the jump. Pop hard to your left side, almost touching the takeoff with your left hand, and your left ear to your left shoulder.

At 180 you can already see your landing because you’re so damned corked. As you takeoff leave your right hand low and behind your body. Cross your left ski over your right ski and place that right tail into your right hand that you left behind on the takeoff.

Grab that ski and hold on for dear life until you see the landing at 450. At that point you should let go, uncross your skis, and spot the landing over your right shoulder. Keep your feet shifted back to avoid over-rotation and rack up a bunch of extra style points. Make sure your knees are slightly bent and your body is in a strong and ready position for landing. Stomp and ride away looking over your shoulder, preferably your right— it’s smoother looking over the shoulder opposite to the direction you were spinning.

I find it easiest to carve in like Margetts says, carve off of the right of the jump, then pop and wrap my body around down and to the left as if I was looking to my left heel-piece and reach back for blunt (reverse all of that if you spin to the right).

I would suggest trying it off of at least a 25' jump if not closer to 35' or so, that way you don't have to throw it so hard. Also, you're definitely going to have to try more than 3 times haha.

Get some trampoline practice too, good luck!

get a taller t

Under-rotate a cork 7 by 180 degrees.

I was trying cork 5's today, and every time I would try I ended up doing a rodeo or some variation of that
what do?

gracefully

Rodeos and corks are really different... I don't know how you were doing that haha.

?

What's the question mark...he's 100% correct.

I learned cork 5s with handdrag 3s, the hand drag kinda automatically drops your shoulder down and behind. For a rodeo you throw your outside shoulder forward like a football tackle and roll your other one up and over (see TJ's rodeo 5 tips video). Watch it and then see Margetts cork 5 tip ^^ and you will see they are TOTALLY different. Carve in like a pimp and spin a 5 spotting your landing right away. Just commit. I underrotatted and now my hand really hurts from lading on it.

yes.

you almost underflipped that bitch.. nice

haha im working on some cork 5s too buddy.. throwing your legs over your body and that helps on your rotation mucho
