First Off Axis Trick I Should Try

So I have been practicing some off axis tricks on my trampoline. I am very close to landing a cork 7 on tramp, and will probably get it soon. If anyone could tell what would be the easiest off axis trick to actually bring to skis, that would be great.

All depends on the person. I know people that can backflip, frontflip, cork, or misty but not do anything else inverted, maybe not even spin good. If you're feeling the cork 7 maybe giver er a whirl.

Front flips are probably the least likely to try. Backflips are one of these easiest tricks if you commit. I was better at mistys than corks but if you got the feel for it send it in some spring conditions. Obviously jump and skis on is different than tramp but you know how to ski and you know how to cork 7. Hit the jump and visualize that shit and then send it.

If the jump feels right, airtime feels right, and landing it soft, go for it. Spring slush is pretty forgiving.

Cheers, I can do mistys well on tramp and can front flip on skis. So I'm probably going to chuck that soon.
My 7s are good so I feel like cork 7 would be easy once I've got it on tramp. When I try corks on trampoline I keep landing on my knees at 7 so do you have any tips?

cork 7 on tramp is scary to try to land at first. Jump high enough and try to put ur feet under you. Once u get it u'll regret bein a pussy before, if thats the case

I was doing the same thing and I literally just started jumping higher, the less you have to huck it and the more time you have to spot the easier it is to land on your feet.

Flat 3's are mad easy once you get over the scaryness of going upsidedown

This might not work for you depending on how you set, but making an effort to spot the bed at 180 and then again at 540 helps me make it around.

I really want to try a cork 5 as my first non-upright spin on snow. People always say it's harder than a cork 7 but I don't buy it

Cork 5's are easier to learn once you know how to properly carve on kickers.

Learning cork 3 first might be helpful to learn a 5 afterwards. Cork 7 is a bit different set but it depends on u if u find it easier or nah

Can underflips count as cork 5s?

this will all vary person to person but this is the route i went with-- carving into a cork 3 or 5/undie is super natural feeling, same way a backflip is a very natural trick to do

before flipping on snow i was convinced that a lincoln or rodeo would be easiest to do first, ended up not learning those til long after backies and undies

only timeless, objective advice i can give is to try it if you know you have it. so many of us struggle with doing our first one for a while after knowing we can. obviously if you can hit an airbag that's the safest, best way to learn, but most of us don't have airbags available haha

Underflips are kinda a bitch to land on skis. To answer your question, an underflip wouldn't be a cork 5 because you go fully inverted.

The easiest off-axis trick to do would be a cork 3 because you fall into it, however, cork 7 is by far the easiest cork to transfer from tramp to snow.

Thanks, that's what I thought about the underflip, it's just some of my friends call them cork 5s.

people's opinion will vary on that. i personally see undies as simply an inverted cork 5, and they feel the same to me (and easy to land IMO)
