Can you cork in midair by thowing a straight 7 then bending down to grab mut?

the movement of you body while rotating will affect your angular momentum, and ive seen candide pwnvex go of the lip of jumps as if doing a normal 5, 7 or 9, and then start corking once he bends over to grab. does anybody cork this way as opposed to putting some backflip rotation into the spin during takeoff?

A lot of snowboards do this. Like spin a 1080 but cork the second 5 instead of the first. Torstein Horgmo has done some sick ones.

I can do on tramps...
Just spin, and when u have done a 360 dip your shoulder, and cork, but I land on my back..
Haven't seen it on skis though.

I think your theorem is flawed sir...it may looked a wee bit corked but in reality it probably isnt

I'm going to say yes and no. You can do late corks, but you still kind of have to set it as a cork when you take off for it to work. If you try to throw a straight up upright spin and try to cork it while in the air, you'll probably eat shit (or just look silly while spinning upright).
I've done some shitty late corks over the years and I found that setting your spin with the slightest wobble and going for a late leading mute allows your shoulder to really drop into the spin/grab making for a good late cork. The harder you tweak the leading mute, the more cork you get.
And as said before, the more air time you get the easier it is to get your feet back under you.

actually when i look at his left arm on takeoff, he looks like hes putting a little cork into it on takeoff then delaying it by bending forward immediately until the cork spooges out in the end. anybody know the true best way of doing this?

thanks bro this is what i gathered from the video. notice he throws a little cork on takeoff, then bends over immediatly, so that his skis are horozontal, whereas if he didnt bent his skis would be tilted right after takeoff
