What’s up ns, so I just recently learned straight 7s and have them pretty locked in, I’m pretty confident I could take it to 9 pretty easily too, so what now. Does anyone have any advice for taking that next step up to thy bountiful cork 7?

I used to have them on tramp but I haven’t touched a tramp in a minute, is it kind of one of those things where you cork it mire and more with time instead of just out of the gates fully corked 7

Some people find it easier to slowly add more cork to a straight 7. I didn’t. I just got super comfy at regular 7s and then went straight for a proper cork 7. However, I would say I’d prefer mine to be slightly more spinny and less flippy than they currently are. This is personal preference, but I wonder if it would have been easier to try and add more dip to a regular 7

No you should just do a straight up cork 7.

Keep your hips foreword and chest up. Don't drop your shoulder early or you'll do a sideflip bio thing. Grab/pull feet up at 270-3.

Unlike upright 7, takeoff with your body perpendicular to the pitch of the lip.
