So today I tried my first cork 3. I watched all the tutorial on cork 3 so i thought I was ready for it, but anyway, I tried it all day long but couldn't land it, i keep falling on the side or eating shit on my back. I want to know what I am doing wrong. I know I have to carve it and drop my shoulder but anyway here is the closest try I did

Wallisch is better than you.

No but on a serious note you at coming out of it too soon. You can see how he stays over his tips all the way to the landing, you are not trusting the rotation and bailing early. Keep trying and find a steeper lip it will push you into the rotation a lot more naturally. The ability to cork 3 off a super flat lip like that is resevered for people that already have it dialed in their sleep.

Got no pop. Think of going high before spinning; you just leaned into the cork without the energy to get your feet around and down. Carving into it helps a lot. Keep trying man.

Haha, le Relais, I used to ride there.

If you let it come to 5 you'll land it.
