I have had a trampoline all my life and im perfectly comfortable with backs flairs fronts mysties lincolns, but i cant for the life of me do corks or rodeos its something about spinning while flipping backwards that my body doesnt like.
Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

for corks spin and drop your opposite shoulder to the way you spin (if you spin left, drop your right shoulder) is easier if you tuck. i find cork 7 easier than anything else, when you get to 360, look for the tramp and you should be able to see it all the way to your feet. rodeos, set the flip before the spin. when you get flipping, throw your arm across and look over your shoulder. you should be able to spot your landing pretty much all the way round

for rodeos, do a backflip set some spin into it
the secret is to make your hips spin faster than your shoulders, and your shoulders to spin faster than your hips

it doesn't actually make sense but it works
i've taught tons of people how to rodeo by doing that
it keeps you focused on pulling through the spin the whole time instead of whipping it and flailing upside down

that my good sir is a bio, not a cork at all. to cork spin and drop your leading shoulder as if you were on snow but its a tad different. when i was learning corks on tramps i would do a 180 and land on my stomach to get the axis into my head. now im no tramp expert but thats my 2 cents

Suggestions that seem to contradict each other are used a lot in training for many sports. It tricks your mind into doing whatever it is, because by doing a seemingly contradictory thing in your mind your body naturally reacts by doing it.

I've mastered every basic ski flip now I'm working on doubles, but I still feel uncomfortable doing corks, just practice.

I know this might sound weird but it totally worked for me. I could not get corks to save my life. My ski coach told me to just simply go 180, to misty 5. I don't know how it worked but it did. I now have them on lock. It might not make sense but it worked for me

whenever i try this i always end up just falling down on my side not even getting the roatation nearly around. i think this may be because of the lack of forward momentem like trying to do little whips on a tramp bike so i think you will need a really badass tramp

i learned rodeos by starting to back flip but reaching for the japan grab with the opposite hand from the direction you want to spin. that will inturn knock you slightly off axis to get the spin. also helped me with flats, just tweaked it out even more.

That makes perfect sense actually, that's kind of what I did to learn misty 9's (spin 360 while gradually going off axis), next time on the trampoline I'm going to try that.
