I cant cork sev, but ot sure looks like you're over doing the flip amd need to focus more on the spin. Searchbar "how to cork on skis" great vid, should help
You can't just throw it and expect your body to keep going. You have to throw in and then keep spinning. Try bringing your knees up and punching your left hand behind your back and did beard and have your head follow
Learn the 5 on a trampoline, then try the 7 on a trampoline. At first you'll be doing the 5 and getting a little way further around each time til you hit the 7. Then take it to the bag then the real thing. Stomp then get laid.
also don't forget that the cork is just a spinning trick. you're just spinning with your body sideways in the air. it's not a flip. ur half flipping. good luck
haha alright thanks guys, I can do cork 5's up to cork 12's on the trampoline, and some variations of dubs as well. this was just my first attempt at doing it on skis, and I didnt' think it was going to be this hard.. hahaha
i actually had this problem going from trampolines to snow as well. on a trampoline don't have to put much effort into the spin its more in the flippy cork, but with skis there is more weight resisting your spin. also on snow, you have the lip already sending you into a slightly off axis place so its not quite the same. try carving in and doing a 7 with a nice mute or a leading tail. then start to dip your shoulder into it more and more and feel your way through it. it should help you spin not resist it.
i haven't tried one off an airbag this year, but someone told me that when corking on skis, just drop your shoulder a little bit and concentrate a lot more on the spin. On the tramp, you have to concentrate a crazy amount on the flip.
your upper body set a lot sooner than your lower body. widen your legs on the takeoff, once you're coming off the lip bring them together and set with your whole body wrapping your arms to the left side of your chest
you can carve them too. when you have a strong set you won't need to set as hard, then just make them look casual
had the same problem as you. First, I can see that you are looking at your landing the whole way through, which is bad. you want to keep looking over your shoulder. Second, a cork seven isnt like a rodeo. you have to physically spin the seven, not just dip your shoulder and it magicallly come to you. try getting a ton of pop when you hit the lip, and stall (the flip part) before you start. imagine the lip being about a foot longer than it is. third, follow the leading tail with your eyes and reach for it withh your crossed shoulder. EX: spinning left, looking at tail of right ski, reaching for it with left hand. stay tucked, which you are doing, and last but not least. be patient. it is not a trick that comes easy to you, just like me. I am still working on them and I am almost to the point of consistency, but my coaches help a ton. hope this help!
