i can do 540's and 7's and want to try corks now. Which should i try first and how should i go about it? Do i need more speed or air time for corks?

ya just start by slightly corking your spins, by tucking ur shoulder a bit as you start the spin. as you get more comfortable with the corks you can make them more and more corked

im in the same boat as houndy...what should we try and shoot for for like my first set of corks? Like spin wise? 360? 540? 7? Whats easiest...and do i have to do anything in the air to coem out of the cork at the end or will i automatically come?

I think 7 is easiest, its pretty natural to come out of. Once your in cork, by 540 you are starting to come out and by 720 you are prepared for the landing. This is only form experience on trampolines, I can't do them on snow...yet.

3. then 5. then 7. then 9. then switch 5, then switch 7. then switch 9. then switch 10. then start on unnatural.

seriously though, cork 3 first for sure that way its easier to cork the bigger spins. you just set it like a 3 but spin a little harder.

p.s dont carve then it takes longer to learn the bigger spins cuz if you cave on your cork 3s you learn to cork them a different way, like and underflip/lincoln.

tried my first cork 5 today, went corked to late and fell on my face...i was wondering how i could go cork right off the lip so i come out of it because it took me until about 270 to really get corked
