i know there is a lot of threads about corks and shit. but i was wondering what is easier to try first. (i can do both with pretty much any spin and grab on a tramp)

if you can do both pretty well on a tramp with grabs then why would you ask which one is easier??

tape your edges with duck tape then try doing them on your tramp with your skis on

i think cork might be easier, that always seems to be what people try first, but if you have them both down on tramps then go for either one.

How exactly do you throw a rodeo? I can kinda cork 3's and I know you carve off the lip then drop your inside shoulder...but I can't picture rodeo's in my head.

go for both. Corks normally do better in competitions cause it's a lot easier to add more spin to them but rodeos are still sick. Try to learn both this year Id say

here's the downright truth and there's NO straying from it, here's the golden ticket ... think about both tricks for a second. Imagine hitting a jump and throwing a cork, then imagine throwing your rodeo on the same jump ... which felt more natural in your head (which were you less scared of, whatever) ... whichever one that is, try that one. Dont second guess yourself, you know which one you're more comfortable with. Coming up to the jump you'll have less inhibitions with that one and you'll likely be more successful with it.

corks are easier than rodoes when first starting off...

When you frist start with a cork spin you can set it as hard or little as you want and the comitment factor/risk is much less than a rodeo. For a rodeo you need to set both the flip and spin at the same speed so that you come down in one piece. Also sometimes rodeos are a bit blind

I used to think corks where easier but once you know how to them both well I think rodeo/flatspin is easier. Plus it feels amazing in the air

can't do any of them but learning a lincoln loop before going for a rodeo is prob. best, as a rodeo is more or less a lincoln with an 180
