"How to cork" in the searchbar would give you several great answer way faster,

i myself cant do corks, but basically you do is,

>Pop
>Lean back and spin left/right in an off-axis spin
>Depending on if youre doing a 7 or a 9, you should be able to spot your landing after a cork 9
>just keep on trying i guess, if youre not wayy off you should be fine.

Remember to spin towards your shoulder, if that makes sense. Heres a pretty decent video of a cork 7 tail.

Set for a regular 7, but drop your shoulder after 90

Not to threadjack, but does it pretty much feel the same on snow as it does on the tramp? Cork 7's are probably one of my most comfortable spins on the tramp and want to try them at some point this year.

if they do feel the same on the tramp as they do on the snow id like to add that when i was first learning them i liked to twist my upper body to the left and back fairly hard. it made getting the rotation around a ton easier
