I need to step up my game in the park a little, I can throw threes, fives, sevens, with you basic grabs and stomp them like 95% of the time. So I want to go for a cork, I've herd that a cork fives easier then a cork 3. Or should I try a backflip first? And if I cork do you think I could do it on a 15 footer? It's either that or a 40 footer that I rather wreck on.

A cork 5 is much easier to start with as your first cork. Start with some carve 5's and slowly get more off axis each time. I started doing them off twenty footers, but do them off whatever size jump you are comfortable on.

Try whatever you are most comfortable with. Corks are pretty hard tricks for me at least. Yeah you can throw some corks, but you can learn a lot more tricks from a backflip than you can with a cork.

Most people learn cork 7s first. That is the most natural rotation for most

If you end up going for the cork 3, start off on the left side (assuming you spin left) and carve the shit out of the lip of the kicker, like have your edges dug in really hard, and hold the carve until you leave the lip, then once you leave, throw your feet out in front of you a bit and drop your head, it will set an off axis 360. Keep your legs a little wider than shoulder width apart and just let it float around. It should come right back into the landing. here's a vid
