The trick is to thinking about spinning 360 less than a 7. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

just stay laid out flat a little bit longer and it'll come around

Who needs to improve as a skier when you can smoke weed everyday?

spin 5pi radians instead on 900 degrees

you cant set so inverted for a cork 9, put more spin into it rather than dropping your shoulder as much

You can do a true cork 9 or a cork 7 then spin 180 at the end. True cork 9's just spin harder and invert less, also when you're laying flat in the rotation stay there a bit longer like said above^ This will just help you come down switch easy. I like 9's better than 7's because landing switch is so much more comfortable

Find a nice 25-30 footer, do a half dozen cork sevens just passed the knuckle, then take enough speed to get at least halfway down the landing, set the exact same cork 7 at the faster speed. Once you get to 7 you'll still be in the air and your natural reaction will be go to 9

For 7 I actually make a conscious effort to dip into the cork, but for 9 I just set like a normal 9 and kinda dip into it at 270 or so. 9s are way better than 7s (because I suck at 7s)

There's no way you can remember all the above advice when you get off the lift. Just spin harder.

if you close your eyes while you're in the air you will spin faster
