Cork 3?

Hey friends. I know this 3 is a little off-axis, but I wasn't sure if it would be considered a true cork 3. The lip was super steep, and I didn't mean to get off-axis. Any tips for keeping a 3 straight on a steep lip and/or advice on properly corking a 3 on a feature like this?

Pop harder and don’t lean your head down

Looks like you just need to move those shoulders foreword a little more, the key to 360s is popping like you would for a normal jump, but twisting your arms.

Your knees gotta be bent or else you wont be able to un cork. In a cork 3, the biggest thing is to be stacked the whole time. As in your upper body can’t be more turned than your lower body. And also you should basically see the landing the whole time

Typically when throwing a 3 on something like that I make sure that my pops momentum tilts me forward usually makes the difference between a smooth 3 and washing out on my tails

That's an on axis 3 but the axis is the take off of the jump as opposed to the ground
