I've been working on this trick for awhile and when I watch it on camera it turns out looking nothing like a cork 720. What is this trick, give me some tips please?

I would say exactly so, D-Spin, and the first one was looking pretty nice as well!

Is there really a trick called underflip anymore? Isn't that just a R sev?

^ that made my head hurt! at first it looked like a rodeo and then it was an underflip and by the time he landed I'd given up trying to name it.

to OP, i think it's an underflip 7. some of the more spinny versions looked a little dspin as well. i used to do the same when trying cork 7s. so legit you got that tailgrab in there. if you want to go corked instead you'll have to work on setting a spin instead of throwing yourself back on the takeoff into a flip.

thats a poor d-spin. Although execution need improvement, the rotation was there

That is without a doubt a underflip 7 tail. Good work!

First one looked underflippy but it could have been the angle. Second one was definitely Dspin. very cool

That's a D-Spin 7.

If you want cork 7 don't trow your back that hard backward, go for a normal 7 and just just drop the shoulder.

The first one is DEFINITELY underflip seven, the second one is arguably D-spin seven/ another underflip but closer to D-spin

isnt a dspin the name for corked7 before the term corked became popular? Its just super corked.

d-spin=full
full= backflip 360

cork= backward off-axis rotation =/= full and d=spin

Incorrect on the D-Spin.

A D-Spin is a cork 7 where your head goes below your feet.
A Back Full is an On-Axis backflip 360. A D-Spin is off-axis, while a Back Full is on-axis.

Notice how he stays perfectly on axis: (2:14)


Now observe how he is not on axis. But it is not a cork 7 because it is way more inverted: (1:11)

D spin man. I can just imagine that Phil B Windells ad from back in the day with a sequence of him doing a D Spin. Pretty much the same shit.

D Spin needs more respect.

i say its underflip 7. my suggestion to do cork 7 besides the obvious (which is do more spin less flip) would be to try and throw straight up 7s for a bit. if you can do those great. but if not try them and then you can work on differentiating the different levels of cork.

right now youre coming off the lip and imediately throwing your head down under neath yourself. start the rotation as you come off the lip not the flip. start the spin and let you shoulders stay back, and hips and feet travel up into the air as you start the spin.

To further comment on this thread since it showed up again, its an underflip 7. You are going 90, lincoln plus spin to 360 which is an underflip 7. D's and cork's look exactly alike just one is more backflipped (D) if that makes sense. This is not a D7 nor a cork 7.
