get comfortable with carving 3s off jumps then go for a 3 but drop your shoulder and the cork will set nicely

Easiest way is to have your carved 3's down and then when you are ready just drop your shoulder a little so when you are around the 180 degree your body is parallel with the ground. If you stay tucked throughout the trick the landing should naturally come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9myxBXEHalg here is a good vid.

suck up your knees and spot your landing from takeoff throughout the whole trick. In a reg 3 you lose sight of your landing at 180 degrees. In a cork, you can see the landing the entire rotation. Your body will follow your head, so just remember that looking is the most important, never get lost in the air.

The way I learned was to picture a wall in front of you, and act like your going to 360 hand drag it. The motion should be to bring your legs up and in, keeping them wide and grabbing safely helps too learning it on a tramp. don't give up.

Try leaning backseat off the jump or handragging a little, its scary at first but so easy

The trick wich did it for me was to carve as hard as possible and try to drag my shoulder on takeoff !
