just keep practicing man and you will get it. If you fall wat ever just try again. All i can give you is practice on a trapoline doing corked out 3's and 5's

cork threes are the hardest to learn. you kinda have to throw them like a lincoln. i hear sevens are easiest fives are pretty easy as well

7's are easiest if you can get a 7 obviously, a 5 is probably the best choice for you right now. cork 3s are pretty damn hard but just keep working and you'll eventually get it no doubt

for cork 3s, you REALLY have to carve and lean. You should almost be turned 90 degrees when you take off. It always helps me to grab truckdriver, but I have a feeling that's just me.

i can see how that would help since it would sort of throw u in the right direction, but im not flexible enough to drive a truck

Truckdrivers help for suree, i havent built up the nads to do a REAL cork 3 on skis yet but on the tramp practically the only way you can get cork 3 is to if nothing else get in the truck driver crouched position.

i just learned cork 3s today. My advice is to carve of the lip and sort of lean into a leading safety.

cork 3s are real hard on smaller jumps its best to do them on bigger jumps so you can slow down the process

yeah man do a cork 5 before a 3 because it is way harder to get out of the cork that fast whereas coming out of the 5 is more natural

since this thread exists, i'll ask here, how do you not land on your side on a cork anything? everytime i try on my tamp thats what happens. i just can't get my head around it.

yeah i tried cork 5's alot and only landed 1.. almost landed a cork 7. Cork 7 seems to come around easier than 5.

same thing for me, i dont have a tramp so i just went for it on a step up and landed flat on my side. Im guessing all i need is more time to come around? cork5 btw.

it's just any spin for me. i can do misty 5s and i understand misty7s but i had a bad fall so i'm scared of them right now. i've seen people learn corks no bother off the same jump i'd be tring but i just don't get it in my head how to come out of it.
