so i would like to learn cork 7s in 20 days or less, i have virtually no access to a jump big enough to train on but maybe one or 2 times this year. i do have a tramp and learned the spin at snogression almost 2 years ago and never took it to snow. but any tips for me besides do it on the tramp and then just huck it when i can get a jump big enough?

Pop and throw it more like a spin than you'd expect.

Okay so it'll be February 26th. No inverts are allowed. Last big air of the season.


-Feels-


On the subject, sack up and send it. It might feel corked at first, but the reality might be way different - you might be almost completely inverted or you might just have your head tilted and the 7 will be a normal one. It took around 100 attempts for me, as I thought it was corked and was claiming it but the reality was that my head was just tilted and I was doing really stupid looking almost-normal 7s and 9s. Ask somebody to take a video or just tell you how it looks like. Eventually you'll get it, good luck!

Try doing a 7 with a reverse safety grab. The grab should get you into the cork axis. Worked nicely for me and didn't take long until I could do corks with other grabs as well.

sorry to break this down, but you are not gonna win anything with a nongrabbed sketchy cork 7 + if you try it at the comp for the first time, youre just gonna look like one of those fools who huck their meat but dont actually understand how tricks work.
So what you have to do is build yourself a pow kicker in the woods or something, so you actually realize how to send it, and you might even learn a few other easy tricks like flat 5s and 7s.

Send it bro. If you're comfortable in the air it's an easy trick to learn. As many before me have previously stated...sack up!

haha at this comp at this mtn where a blunt 540 usually wins i believe it would but i would like a grab in on it but with time i guess, i know i have tricks that would win but i can't do them because they are inverted. uploading a video for critiquing now.

ok so first shot is from today first time trying the spin in over 2 years on a shitty tramp, 2end shot is from snogression where i first started doing them, it almost seems as if at snogression i learned them as a switch cork 7, and I'm not sure if todays spin is even a cork it looks much more inverted then when i first did them but maybe thats just because i had a better tramp at snogression. idk thats why I'm letting you guys tell me!

Snogression shot looks good but today's tramp kinda looks bio? Looks like you are spinning it forwards a bit but can't tell for sure with angle.

First tramp spin was like a misty-ish 7, so kinda throwing it the wrong way. try and drop your left shoulder backwards and follow in the same direction with your head when you set a 7, (Dont know if that makes any sense to you thats just how I set them)

Find a place to build a good booter with your homies, get super stoked, and just send it. Then proceed to perfecting it. Add about 1080 more degrees of rotation and you'll win. Guaranteed.

Best advice i got was to grab lead japan, really helps you get the cork part in, throw a normal 7 spin, but reach down with your left hand and grab your right foot beneath your left knee (assuming you spin left)

looks like that grab would be near impossible to actually get with skis on, also good news i went to a rail jam there yesterday turned out to be a "big air" and i won with a misty 7 no contest really, but i still would like to get the corks down in time for the real big air

anymore advice im currently snowed in over here on the east, what about any other tricks that are simple but look dope? the big air jump may not be big enough to get the cork 7 around. and no i can not push a jump in the BC because i no longer live in saltlake, i live in the east :(

if you can misty 7 a jump it is plenty big enough to cork 7.

also can you do a normal 7? cork 7's are way easy to bring around than normal 7's in my opinion

just throw a couple normal 7's then go for cork 7 and commit.

i tried making a booter at my house with all this snow and the jump was perfect but it got hot and it was to slow to work after 3 hours of making it, i have solid 3's 5's and depends on the day 7's and I'm trying to think of a grab that would look good with these, remember i don't have a big jump at all. i have blunts on lock so i already know that looks ok. still no cork... one day

Get a lot of shin pressure by pressing your shins to the tongues on your boots, then set a normal 720 rotation but when spinning your shoulders left (assuming you spin left) look down at your tails. This will set the corked rotation. Then just let it come around, get a grab if you want, somewhere from 180-540, then spot your landing and if you had the shin pressure you should be able to stomp the shit out of it and ride away clean. Hope this helps

Be ready for the forward momentum when actually skiing compared with a trampoline. Pop the same tho
