Are you atomic guys fucking serious? Change that title of the video. Cork zeros do not exist. You can't cork unless you spin. He did a tweaked saftey and brought his feet up a little bit. A corked spin is defined by the axis for which one rotates. He doesn't rotate.

although sick, just a huge shifty.

I know I have seen ahmet and a few other guys do the exact same thing... albeit this one was the best.

didnt realize bringing your legs up to grab them while doing a switch to switch jump made it cork.. if i do the same thing but going forward the whole time, is that a cork?

lets just agree that there is no such thing as a cork zero spin... since you have to actually spin to call it a spin and to go corked, you have to change your axis while spinning..

Not cork at all. Only seen a couple true cork zeros, in which bermans was the most impressive.

takes some brass to call a clip by a trick that doesn't exist. much better off with "Jossi Wells Insane Zero Spin" or something to that effect, because that was one of the must fucked switch to switch jumps I have ever seen. A "cork zero spin", however, just isn't a reality.

big ups to jossi though, very impressed with his "big air" progression in the last 1-2 years.

thank you. finally someone that makes sense in this thread.

who ever said that you have to spin to cork. cork is defined by an axis. axis exists even if there is no rotation. (they call that an axis of symmetry, if you would like to get mathematical on it). Thus if you look at the locale of Josiah's head and feet in the freeze frame of the video, they are far away from 0 degrees (what a normal switch strait air would look like).

Ergo: Cork Zero Spin. Although, a Switch Unicorn is also an excellent name. Feel free to continue being angry little kids of Newschoolers.

So you're saying if you bring your legs up to the left and back down, it would be a fucking straight air rodeo? Go see a doctor.

cork zero does not exist. it's just a tweaked out zero spin.
