of course it's possible. If a cork 3 is possible on a jump, then in a pipe it would work too. It would just be a vertical jump...

Pretty much a back full, or a flair with an extra twist.

That cant be right because it would be more than 360 degrees of rotation. And you would have to land switch.

not really, the way you come out of a cork 3(nose pointed down) doesnt match the tranny of the wall your landing on.. so you would land on your face pretty much. not to say you cant do offaxis 360s but a true cork 3 would be pretty hard i think.

doesn't tanner do cork 270s to the left off right-sided hips? and remember that strange loop that JP used to do in the quarterpipe? it was sort of like a back flip to fakie but he floated from one side of the 1/4 to the other. that was a little bit like an alleyoop cork 3.

think of how trying one would look on a quarter pipe. You come straight in to it, and if you were to spin a true cork 3, you would land more or less flat on top of the deck. When you spin a cork 3 on a jump, your "pitch" changes from the angle of the jump to the angle of the landing. In pipe, the takeoff and landing are more or less the same angle.

thats what i was thinking. On a good jump the total change in snow angle is abround 90 degrees. In a pipe the angle stays the same.

it seems possible. it would feel like a downhill flatspin that was landed early. or as said before, handplant to switch without hte plant

maybee alleyoop cork 3, I can't really even picture how a normal cork 3 would look in the pipe though it just doesn't seem natural
