I know somebody had probably made this thread but whatever. I'm trying a cork 7 next time I go skiing. I can cork 7 9 and 10 on a tramp. I'm thinking of trying a cork 7. I watched this video from momentum and it was A cork 7 tutorial with Gus kentworthy. He's hitting a huge jump and im going to be hitting like a 30 footer. What do I do to throw it on skis. Thanks

Keep your hands in front of you so you don't land backseat and slide out

i threw them first on a poppy 30 footer too. the trick is don't rush it. approach like you would a 360 or 720 then just swing your arms around and drop your shoulder to initiate the cork. then trust your trampoline based muscle memory to get you around. i don't know how to link the video of my first one to here but t is on my NS profile. check it out if you want. i stomped 2nd try, good luck.

Spend an hour or two just spinning straight 7's. If you can already do this no problem, bueno.

Then just throw the same as you would on tramp. wide stance, set back and look over your shoulder. Should come around just fine.

(Straight 7's are twice as hard as cork 7's)

With a jump, just remember to compensate for the pop from the jump

stomp 720s well. One day, you will accidentally do one off axis.
