I have 3's down I can float em out pretty good - grab and stop them. -  Should I try to cork em. People say its not to much different. And is it harder or easier than 5's

Harder than 5s and 7s but corks in general are not too much different than normal spins, just drop your shoulder.

Thanks that doesnt exactly boost my confidence though cause I just learned how to 5 in march. Once I get on tramp and can do it without even thinking about it how will I have to adjust on snow, And what size jump should I do it on. Sorry for so many q's.

focus on differnet tricks first man, learn backs (if you havent already) and like flat 3s and stuff. cork threes are actually super hard

get hand drag threes first. much easier, once you feel comfortable with those, try the hand drag without the hand drag, but still a massive carve in.

I would not say that corks are super hard. stomped a 7 on my second try. you really just have to go for it and do it. however, cork 3s are much harder because you have a lot less rotation to bring your feet back under you, same goes for with 5's. also, just because you have a trick down on a trampoline means nothing, sorry. it is totally different on snow. the jumps are angled, you're going fast down a hill and your skis have swing weight. way harder.

cork 3 is a hard trick, no matter what size jump, but ive always found that more airtime helps me out aton with cork 3s and 5s, and 7s and 9s for that matter . good luck budy

Carve a little bit and grab truckdriver on your 3s, and you'll start to get the feeling for it.
