Trying to learn cork 7, not going super smooth. Any tips or help would be super appreciated. Here is a video of what I'm doing.

set harder, looks like you're struggling to get the second 3 around so you rush it mid-air.

more flippy, less spinny. Everything about it is pretty right, but when you go to set the rotation dip your vision a bit more downward to make yourself go more upside down. It will make that last 360 easier. Looks like a work in progress, I'm sure when you stick it it's gonna be steezy.

Oh and also more shin pressure, like press your shins to the tongues of your boots, it will help prevent backseat landings like the one in the vid. Good luck

Thanks for the tips, I was thinking more forward pressure was the way to go, and good to know I should set it harder. I sort of knew I needed to flip more but was a bit cautious on a first attempt.

didn't look exactly right, probably should dip more.

If you haven't been upside down in the air on skis (not sure if you have or not) it may feel a bit awkward while you're in the air, but don't freak out and just let it float around and it should spin you out right where you want to be. If you do end up getting it though, post a vid, I wanna see it!

I can throw backflip, rodeo 5, and flat 3, so I am fairly used to being upside down. Ill for sure post another video when I get it, heading out again today and we will see.

You have the same problem as I had. You are setting misty meaning you are landing backseat. Push your hips forward (make it a mellow push so it doesn't throw you into back full) and don't dip your shoulder, spin instead. For me I try to picture myself doing a back three and I go corked every time. Reach for blunt too, even if you don't get it, this way your arms don't block your rotation '

Also for anyone interested in helping me out, I can never land carve cork 7's. I land too backseat...

hardly any arm motion, hes literally fighting against himself to carry out the spin.

Like what other people were saying, forward shin pressure and leaning/dipping more when your setting and you would have quite the steezy cork 7.
