cork 3's are real easy, try them for a day and youll get em. just drop your shoulder a little or carve, and just go for like a rocket or critical or mute, theyll help go corked

no way... i think cork 3's are way easier if your doing them right...

No one get all pissy about this..but the reson why you think cork 7's are probably easier is because your chucking your body/arms and not actually spinning with the core of your body... on cork 7's you have to commit alot more than on a cork 3, with a cork 3 you can start off just a bit off axis and go to the extreme of getting bascially inverted...

....sorry i totally was gonna post two different examples of corks that i do... but i think i deleted them from here...anyways theres one at like 35 seconds into this...

corked 5s are really easy to perfect, corked sevens are really easy to go corked, un corked,, and corked threes are facking hard, but are sooo smooth if you learn them.

i do the same thing, just carve in an throw a leading high grab and you should be good.  Sevens are easyer because you just kinda huck them and they come around without even thinking about it, with 3 and 5 its harder to get corked and not flail around

I attemped a cork 5 on too small of a jump. so i cork 3'd. You just have to fall into the last 180 rotation. and sit down after teh first 180

Cork 5's are harder. Cork 3's are pretty easy once you get them down. Just throw your left arm for your right heel-piece/vice-versa.

i think people are trying to cork too much while learning cork 3s. you have to start with just a carve so you're a little back, then gradually drop your shoulder more and more as you get the feeling of carving and how they come around.

anyone can huck themselves into a cork 5,7 or 9. most people dont even spot their landings.

it takes skill and strength to take a 360 upside down. and like someone mentioned, the best part of the trick is doing all the different angles from straight up and down to a flat spin to a backy.

a lot of times, people think bigger cork spins like cork 7's and 9's are harder but theyre easier. they think they can do cork 3's and cork 5's because they go a little off axis but they dnot understand that their bodies have to be parallel to the ground

THANK YOU! Seriously though, just because some of you guys aren't doing a perfect 360,and you are slightly off axis,dosen't make it a cork.

It's because the motion of a cork 3 is closer to the motion of a flatspin or an underflip than it is to an actual 360.

a back seat 360 is not a cork 360.

not really, go jump on a tramp, they;re not that hard. cork 3s are much harder to learn, whenever i mess up a cork 3, it turns into a 5. the trick does itself, you just have to set the cork and follow through with your hips, if you don;t huck it comes around naturally at 5, if you huck at all it comes around for a 7.
