ZenyattaKickJust curious on what people think is the first type of cork to learn is? Obviously cork 3 is the smallest rotation, but i've heard cork 5's are easier. Looking for advice. Thanks!
KilaTsunamiHas anyone ever learned Bio spin first? I can front flip, but not backflip... i think id feel more comfortable going off axis forwards first
Pac2IMO, I would say cork 7. Cork 3 and 5 are pretty different rotations compared to the 7. I have done cork 7s but to this day have not been able to wrap my head around a proper 3/5 axis. Not to mention, a cork 7 is much easier to replicate on a trampoline compared to the cork 3 and 5, which I think is the main reason I've had a harder time figuring them out. That said, trying a cork 7 on a trampoline will help you get a feel for what your body is doing in the air.
That's just my honest opinion, but for some it may be different. If you wanna go for 3s and 5s I would start by carving into a normal 360 or 540 and dropping your shoulder just a little to get slightly corked, then add on as you get more comfortable.
ZenyattaKickI feel like then a misty 5 would be a good start. Yeah I’ve never thrown a bio but your logic makes sense to me lol.
LemuelThis. I’m the same way, but you’ve explained it better than I ever could.
And this is why the misty 5 was the 1st and pretty much only inverted / off axis trick I ever comfortable with. It’s easy. Some were over flippy, some were true misty, some were quite flat but usually didn’t land well at all. It’s an axis / rotation that can be tweaked in different directions very easily, and from my experience is a very safe trick. The biggest crashes were casual.
and it’s another easy trampoline trick to replicate / work on
Yukon_CorneliusWhat @Pac2 said, 7 was def the easiest cork axis rotation to learn, then 5, then 3, imo. You can whip a 7 on a tramp, and then start figuring out the rest and how to make it bigger, but 3 and 5 are “floatier” and a little funkier to figure out.
I think sw cork 5 prob the easiest off-axis trick on tramp, and snow as well if your sw takeoffs/spins are good. That forward bio axis looks so much more g though
Mr.WhatsittoyaConvincing me to try a misty 5

ReturnToMonkeyI learned cork 7 first cus its easy to learn on tramp and off bridges. I only recently have been learning cork 3 and 5 on skis because i never could wrap my head around 5 and 3 on tramp. But using your skis to carve off the lip to cork 3 and overrotate into 5 has been easier than I thought and so much fun.
yaskatahow do you cork 7 on trampoline? I watched a vid and it said to set backwards with your hand going out, but i cant get it at all.

steezytangerinei caught an edge once and did bio 3 but idk if that counts

ZenyattaKickWait Rodeos are back sets similar to flat 3s how tf did u manage that lol, I could see it trying a misty.
ZenyattaKickBut I’m confused because bios are forward sets and rodeos are backwards sets how do you even manage that man?

freestyler540Trampolines are the worst places to get a feeling for a trick. Gives ya false sense of realism. Remember on skis, you are travelling forward and a changing upwards incline. Trampolines are just really… really fun.
I learned a cork 5 before the 7. Cork 5 is an akward end to a nice fly. Cork 7 is far more comitting. You can glide a 5, but gotta go harder on the 7.
I learned a flatspin 3, then rodeo 5. Both tricks are very similar.
yaskatado you have any tips for feeling freaked out when thinking abt the trick on skis? Like i dont fall often and just barely save sometimes but i dont really fall. I also can 7 and backflip on ground, i hit pretty big cliffs and have no problem straight airing a pro line. But when i have to rotate on bigger jumps i feel scared. Feel like i made myself think spinning and flipping is too hard. I can do 360 on a small jump and backflip too somehow. If you have any tips for mentally just not thinking skiing is a big deal, please share. Cuz i feel like i like skiing so much i feel like its hard to progress even though its not. And i am an experienced skier, what im talking abt are just tricks.
