It looks like you need to hit a bigger jump

If you where doing it ona  bigger jump you would have basically made it around there. you have a good set and basically what you want to think of is just stay looking over your left shoulder and it will help you come out of cork too. i like doing either mute grabs or tail grabs because it helps me get more cork and then you just follow through and come out nicely. props on going for it on that jump tho. good luck bro

you need to take it to a 40 footer and take it to 7... you are setting a cork 7 rotation not cork 5. set it a little more cork too and stay tucked up.. it will help wrap up your spin and bring it around to your feet.

My best advice is to to obviously take it to a bigger jump but also to set it with just your right arm. Just throw your right hand over and it will be alot easyer to come out of the cork. Atleast this is what helped me.

They are looking good, but bringing your hips around and up, instead of kinda lagging them behind would help you take it to 7 which would make it easyer to get to your feet. i hope that makes sense haha.

i dont know much about them. but i do know that there are 8 levels of cork. you spin and slowly tuck your knees in. most people just look at the end of the jump as they go off and it tends to be too much for them. so just work youre way up by tucking your knees in faster. this way you can progress to a more off axis spin. cork 3s need to be done off large jumps to get the cork in. all cork spins are added an additional 180. this is because you spin quicker going into cork.

The first one was actually a decent set for cork 7, just a little rushed . The second was not really a cork. Cork 5 is way harder because you have to set it more like a cork 3 which is almost like a messed up lincoln (super hard to describe through typing) My advice is go for 7 with that same set and just tuck a little harder, you will be surprised how close your are there even though you landed on your side.
