Its much easier to come out of cork if you set the cork harder and earlier. Basically, get the scary part out of the way first... go blind for a bit... then your feet will come around.

I still dont really spot my cork 7s until the last 630... if you can do em on the tramp then you can do it on skis!

so basically.. throw the 7 backseat towards the back of your skis and let the rotation take you?

put magnets in you're boots and in the landing and it'll make you come out

I learned by winding up for a normal spin and then throwing my hands down to my bindings' heelpieces. probably some bad advice, but idk, worked for me.

I just learned these last week after no less than 30 tries, so I know what you're feeling. I watched every attempt on video, and it's really kinda hard to judge what you're doing wrong without video. What I found was that the harder I set the spin, the closer I got to landing it.

The day after I watched the film, I tried it a couple times setting it harder and harder to the point where I almost went inverted. That time, the spin came right around and I was so stoked to see the ground below my feet instead of landing on my right side like I did about 30 times before.


Try to set the spin hard. Think of setup as almost rotating your right shoulder down to your left knee.

Here's a vid of my first time landing it. Not the best looking....
