tried a buch of cork 7's and they ended up being inverted as fuck aka D spin 7.... I then tried less flip and I landed on my side so I guess I'm having trouble finding the happy medium that is a cork... any pointers?

Yeah I would rather dspin than cork. You can lay your feet way out behind you (like a backflip) and whip your feet back under you and it looks super sick.

But try looking less down towards your heel piece and maybe more towards like the tails of your skis? That should help. And when you're turning your upper body in the beginning down throw down so hard, just lean into it more. Cork and Dspin are set really the same, just with the dspin your throwing yourself down and not leaning into it.

So just like OP, a few weeks ago I tried to learn a cork 7, but from what I can tell, I only got close to landing something more similar to a d-spin.. I have a video below with my progression and a couple of attempts, can someone give me some feedback on how I can turn that into a cork 7? Thanks and +K for useful answers

I haven't tried cork 7 on skis myself, but i'd say do like a slightly tilted 3 then on the second 3 dip your shoulder, try that.

we don't see many d-spins nowadays, one of the steeziest trick imo. If you can land those, then just keep landing em!

Here's one of my first ones I threw last saturday. I had the D-Spin problem at first too, just focus on throwing your arms not as far down.

word. love the d-spin. its just a super corked 7

to not go as inverted, dont drop the shoulder so much and dont huck it as much. try to drop the shoulder once you get right off the lip instead of part of the takeoff and trick set.

For the 1000th time: do 7s on big airs and make sure you can land them eyes closed. Then, simply tilt the shoulder to set the off axis. Dont force it.

if you d when you try to cork 7, your gonna have a ba....no, good time. yeah, youll have a good time. youre setting to much flip. set it easier. you can barely cork, or put your feet over your head, so start with just a little bit of off axy

Would this be considered a "double nose butter"

idk they feel whipped and very arial-esque.... plus it's frustrating not being able to do the trick you set out to do even if you end up doing something else cool. I just wanna c sev!!!

last trick is a d-spin 7. I love that pause on the flip; you can look down and really appreciate the landing.
