I can do backflips and 720s on skis, and i can cork 7 on tramp. Is doing them on skis similar to the tramp?

i find getting the correct axis on cork 7s tough....but i think it depends on the skier...i find rodeo 5s super natural where i have some buddies who struggle with rodeos but toss cork 7s like nothing

and ya, i personally dont think cork 7s on skis feel like they do on tramps

I found that when I set my c7 on snow like I would on a tramp it is a little too flippy kinda like a dspin.

I learned them and found them really difficult and different than how they are on tramp, then relearned them and they felt WAY better and much more like the tramp rotation. Make sure they aren't super flippy, lots of kids do d spins when they learn corks cause they get really sendy and chuck em super hard back. I did that then relearned them by doing carving 7s and just letting my feet move up just a bit and grabbing safety.

long way of saying, they can be hard if you're doing them weird, but if you learn them properly they are super easy and fun.

I tried my first ones this winter. I was going in with the same skill set thinking they'd be easy but they definitely weren't. For me at least, they were very hard to get back and were super morked, kept landing on my side. i think commitment is 🔑

Good advice in here. It honestly feels a lot more like a tramp rotation if you just set your spin with the angle of the jump. That way you don't go misty or D-spin. It's feels way more mellow and less flippy.
