What is the difference between a cork 720 and a 720 flat spin?

ok, theres a BIG difference here...
cork is basically a horizontal (i cant spell) 720 or 900, or whatever...its feet first
flatspin(aka, rodeo, dinner role, and 'unnamed trick') is an off-axis bacflip with a 360 somewhere in that off-axis flip, but the flip is super off-axus, cause ure horizontal, i guess u could call it a corked backflip with a 360 somewhere in the flip

a cork spin is on a axis that is like your laying on the ground rolling around with your feet facing downhill, lay on the floor and roll around on your side like your putting out a fire thats corked, flat is if you were laying on the ground and started spinning like a backflip but on your side in the middle of the air, if you spin witht he flip then it add's spins ex 720, watch cusson's 900 at the orage big air at freezeonline.com oh yeah a flatspin in the pipe looks completely differet

This is probably very confusing-- go to skiingmotion.com to see video of both.
The simplest way I can put it is this-
***If you do the first 180, and you are leaning back towards the jump (your feet are pointing downhill), and you're belly-down, then you are corked.***
***If you do the first 180, and your head is pointing downhill, feet pointing back up towards the jump (belly up in the air) then you are going flatspin.***

Ok here we go...
Flat spin: lay down on the ground back first.
Then imagine an axis wich go from the ground to the sky which go trought your pelvis. When you do a flat spin, you spoin on this axis by doing a flat back flip like Jeffy does or by a flat lincoln like I do. After the flat part, you continue to rotate and come back to a normal spin position.
Cork spin: You do the same as a normal spin but instead of spinning perpendicular to the snow, you spin parralel to the snow with the same spinning axis. (spinning axis= from the head to the toes)

I can't do either of them, but i think quebecfreestyler said it the best. Check out tanner hall's flatspin off a hip jump at superpark 3, it's sweet.

What are harder to learn, corked 7's or flat 3's?

Flat 360 lok ugly if you dont go really big....
Start by flat spin 540...
cork 720 are not harder then normal 720.
Both of them arent hard to learn, start by the one you can visualse easily.

Just from sitting here and spinning of the roller chair, i can picture a flat spin being wayyyy easier than a corked spin. Although spinning around a media lab is much easier than throwing yourself off of a pile of snow :-)

i think flat spins in the pipe are some of the coolest looking moves around.
