okay so today at loon i was trying cork 3's for the first time and i just carved off the jump and tryed it, and the first try, everyone told me it went inverted i was so corked, and i almost landed it so, i was pumped that I almost got it. But after a few more trys i didnt seem to be getting any closer. I was told by a few people i was overrotating alittle or whatever and the it would be the perfect rotation for a cork 5, so i started trying cork 5's. And after a few times i was doing cork/underfilp 5's, but i couldnt seem to be able to stick it. But what i ma trying to say is, i was getting super close to landing the cork 5 and i want some good tips, so i can clean them soon.....

how and where were you landing. If you were landing switch onto your face it means you were hittin your pop with a solid forward takeoff. Always hit your pop first before you do your rotation. Hopefully that might help even though I died on a cork 5 today. When i carved I didnt complete my carve and shot off the right of the jump and drifted to the right cased the knoll and bounced of the airsite to the bottom. It was pretty sick yet painfull

whenever i try to cork anything i end up leaning back like i'm supposed to but then at the end of the rotation i somehow end up with my head down the hill.

^ There should be a cult for pieces of shit like you.

Anyways..that sounds sick. I tried corking stuff a bit the other day, and I started to get a little bit of corkage on my 3s. When I started throwing the cork harder I got disoriented in the air usually and ended up floppin out on the landing. I landed pretty close to perfect, but I was slightly off balance usually, or overrotating. I don't really have any tips I just wanted to tell my story..hah.

Just practice. Get more used to landing that switch. It will come. Look at the landing as soon as possible.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

when you land switch, do NOT look down, look up at where you came from...dont look anywhere else until your set...that will help your body be in the right place..

watch the landing and dont concentrate on the cork at all. if you try to keep your eyes on the landing throughout the trick you will cork anyway and that way you wont go into an underflip

wow, the same exact thing happened to me last year. Don't try cork 3's because you over rotate em every time. I fell about 6 times before i landed a cork 5. Just when you go of the jump put your face into your armpit.

Why were u at Loon?

when you said you cant land them, how so? are you falling backwards, forwards, off to the side or not completing your rotation? You should be comfortable doing reg 5's first and landing switch. I'm sure you are. Like mentioned before, just look up, dont look down, and also keep your hands up and drive your hand forward so you dont fall back, thats a key factor. If you are falling backwards that means you are on your tails, you need to get your body weight forward

concentrate on pulling your feet dowm completely under you at the end and actually think about putting your feet down to land, some times you get in the habit of falling and you body just gets lazy and doesnt put your feet down.
