I've been on NS for two years now, I've seen dozens of ski movies, but still I'm absolutely clueless on how to differentiate a cork from a dub cork or from a triple. I know the definition of what the difference is, but when I view a trick I have no idea how to visually see the difference. Can anyone help me on this?

troll?

anyway, when you see a normal cork, you just roll to an invert once, and then twice for a dub, and the three time for a triple.

No attempt to troll this is a serious question, and I feel quite stupid for having gone this long not knowing how to spot one.

So a dub cork takes it to being inverted then?

And I apologize, I could see how this could come across as a trolling attempt but in all honesty this is a legit question.

single cork is inverted.

double cork is 2 single corks, so you start not inverted, then go inverted, then you're not, then you invert again, then you land, uninverted.

In gaper terms, a cork is a backflip with rotations and a double cork is a double backflip with rotations.

then it goes inverted again, a "dub" as in a "double"
i assume you can tell the difference between a backflip and a double backflip? so imagine that on a different axis... i thought this was a troll at first but then i remembered when i first started watching park skiing and i had no clue what those guys where doing

honestly you should feel a little stupid since my 8 year old cousin can tell the difference

cork- inverted once
dub- inverted twice
triple- inverted thrice

I appreciate your willingness to see the honest intent with this question and not write it off as a troll as I assume most people have.

Anyways, this is quite a easy defintion to follow. So basically, its just a spin thats off axis that goes inverted, as you go inverted on second time around thats when it becomes a double, and then a triple and so on. Correct?

I give you slack because I just can't count the amount of spins after a 900. Like if someone does a dub cork, I generally have no idea if it was a 10, 12, etc. I just get lost and have to just say it was a dub cork or whatnot and call it good.
