Do a switch cork 7, but take out 180.

When you're doing a rodeo your feet go directly over your head, but with corks you feet don't go above your head at any point during the rotation

If you can do the switch then you can do anything, just go for it

It should just be a light pressuring of your shins when you take off.

True, but even Tammy Wallnuts calls his sw dub 10 a 'switch dub cork 10', and it sure is inverted, so maybe we can chill if somebody does a sw rodeo and calls it a switch cork.

Agreed. Hopefully we can all stop arguing about whether they are "corks" or "rodeos" and instead simply call them things like "back fulls" or "double back triple fulls". That's much more straightforward.

On a serious note, just lean towards your tips a little bit on takeoff and reach for lead safety once you're past the first 180. It's the easiest cork to do.

this odd tip worked for me. Go to a pool with at least a 5m diving platform, not a diving board but a platform. Do switch fives/sevens off of it while dropping the shoulder more and more, thats how I got it.

I got to thinking about this and 8 think the cork is less inverted. They are similar non the less

the way i learned is that you through your (left) elbow up (if you are spinning left) almost like you are trying to elbow someone that is seven feet tall in the face. then just keep looking around. if you worry about your right hand/arm you will most likely go into switch rodeo. hope that helps.

Oh come the fuck on troll. So Tom's switch rodeos are just corked, not rodeos, because he 'tweaks' them by getting inverted, as opposed to doing a rodeo? You're a classic NSer aren't u ;)
