I feel much more confident with my cork 7's on the tramp and feel like im better at it cause my spins get unbalanced and are sketchy. do you think i could cork 7 before straight 7
Almost the entire fundamental trick of the cork 7 comes from the 7. tramp 7 and skiing 7's are completely different. Don't feel like just because straight up 7's on a are hard for you that means that they are going to be hard on snow the momentum is completely different. Its the same thing for cork 7 just because they are easy on a tramp doesn't mean that they are going to stomp it first try on snow. Thats another thing I would rather take a bail on a straight 7 and wash out or what ever it is then go straight to an off axis rotation where you have no clue whats going on and land off axis. You get what i'm saying. I think that if you don't have the air awareness to get the seven then you probably shouldn't go cork 7. my first cork 7 i did i was just doing 7 off a jump just messing around with grabs and how i took off and i started to carve and throw it harder and then boom cork 7 thats what i would do.
It took me 7 years to land my first cork7. I always believed it was a complete trick like in Tony Hawk. I watched a ton of ski films and played with my phone to understand what is going on. In a contest, I dropped a shoulder to cork out, but landed on my thumb. Before then, I never landed a straight 7 either.
So, I set out to stomp comfortably the 7 in most grabs. I understood that off axising a 7 will lead to a cork. and Voila!
Do it. I am the same way. In the cork 7 you are intentionally throwing yourself off axis and your rotation will spin you right back to straight so that you can land it. Whenever i throw 10s and 9s (and occasionally 7s) on the tramp, I go off axis accidentally and I don't know what to do to get back on axis, which is why I feel like it is probably hard for a lot of people to do.
[YEAH]

Actually the best way to learn a cork 7 is a misty 5 progression. So essentially a cork 7 would be a 180 to misty 5. Watch how certain athletes do their tricks.
there's the video... we made a little goof video kind of poking fun at the fact he couldn't 3... the first shot in the video is actually his third try (he tried a mute), after landing two no grab ones.

that was probably the most gangster ass 2 trick edit i have ever seen

you are soooo wrong. i learned cork 7 first and it didn't make a difference. its all about confidence. if you think you can do a trick on snow, yo probably can. you don't need to know how to 7 to cork 7. its a totally different set, rotation and spot
The way you set for a cork 7 has always just felt more natural to me, and i have better air control over myself when i'm partially upside down. Cork 7's are one of the few tricks i can actually do on snow consistently, and i think i've only ever done a handful of straight 5's and 7's, and probably haven't done a straight 3 in two years. I just don't like the feeling of having to keep my body straight in midair
I wouldn't know, because I can't cork 7, but i'd think it'd be easier than doing a regular 720 because coming off the jump you're already at somewhat of a backward angle. Then again, i'm sure a lot of it is just subjective to what feels good to you.

This make so much sense. I've always had trouble visualizing the cork 7 rotation but I have a feeling I'll get it around within a few tries now. Thanks for the tip.
-WZ-yea anything past 5 is like imposibble for me to keep on axis hahaha
Try looking down at your feet if you are talking about on tramp, or try widening your stance a little bit, or try starting by doing 180's and increasing by 90 degree increments. Those all helped me keep my spins straight and be more deliberate in tramping (that is if you are talking about tramping... If you are talking about skiing I have no advice)
I stomped a cork 7 for the first time yesterday after about 10 attempts, one of those over-rotating to almost land a cork 9. Only 2 days before that had I landed my first straight 5 and I have yet to even try a straight 7. Just go for the cork. YOLO
