I will try to explain this as best as I can.

first off you need to carve really hard off the lip so you are popping off your edges.
when you pop set it like more of a lincoln than a cork or normal spin, push your feet out infront of you. when you are at 180 you should be looking down past your toes at the landing if that makes sense.

pm me if you want me to go into more depth.
hope this helps!!!

i hate to be skeptical, its because you have 9 posts, but a cork 3 is actually a pretty difficult trick. when you say cork 3 are you really doing a cork 3 or just a bad 3? sounds dumb and weird but my friend can only do 3s and he didn't land one of his 3s and landed on his ass and people were like "oh man that was almost like a cork 3" when it obviously wasn't.

so not to be a dick, but if you are being honest with yourself, are you really doing cork 3s?

this produces bad cork 3s. they are hardly corked if even corked at all. you have to set them really hard... but carving is needed

I've done it before. its all about looking at your landing for almost the whole time, kinda like a sideflip only more 360ish, ya dig?

or just join the trick tip cult

carve hard, drop inside shoulder, look back at lip, stay REALLY open, wide and together, think of grabbing really high safety on outside ski and DONT open up you just have to trust it will come around...

disclaimer: i never landed the cork 3 only the 5. that is just how my coaches at windells (stepp and downey) explained it to me

carve hard and as soon as you get off the lip go get a nose grab, realy leaning forward and facing the ground.

that s how i did a few cork 3.

post count =/= skill level. i know kids that dont even have an account that can throw down harder than most people on this site. not a very good assumption to make.

just to let you know, you probably want to learn cork 7 first, then cork 5, then cork 3.

cork 3 is a super technical trick. you are probably doing a really shitty 3, or some kind of weird flat 3.

i know tons of people who have tried 'cork 3', but to do it properly is fucking tough


for cork seven, do a normal 720, and drop your left shoulder (if you spin left) a bit, and spot your landing

ive seen cork 3 once (almost) for real. (not in videos)
My friend tried to just jump off quite huge kicker, it was snowing and all.
then at the lip he saw that he was going to slow. Well, he tried to stop the speed, and jumped off lip vertical 270 (cork 270) to flat. damn that would have looked so sick if he would have made it to landing.
and this was mistake. didnt try it. : D

and myself i think, you need to carve alot, look to landing like all the time and try to quit spinning. i can't do cork 3s but i guess thats how u do it

I imagine you need to be good at lincoln loops and already know a few cork spins before you can really do a cork 3.

Willy Baller basically described it except I would disagree that you carve hard off of the lip. I would say you more lean off of the lip. Let your shoulders lead the rotatation more but don't twist them, you will look out of the rotation, at about 90 degrees you should be parallel with even ground and this is where you can look past your toe pieces and to the landing. Important thing to remember is to tuck your knees so when you lead with your shoulders your lower body follows with it

Doing cork threes on a tramp is way harder than doing them on snow. With skis on, I just kinda pop a 180 and lean forward at 180 degrees. Momentum will bring you right back to where you want to be.

If u wanna cork 3 just get your cork 5s, 7s and 9s down and when your hitting bigger jumps to warm up youl notice your 3s start to cork.

doesn't really feel like you spin at all just have a wide stance carve hard and do it. It's one of the few tricks that's super hard to explain and your pretty much have to carve a little.

It's a really fun trick when you get them right. First, find a nice jump with some air time, then carve mad hard. That will set you cork axis then just suck your knees up. When you are at 180 start spotting the landing and come around. For me the hardest part was sucking the knees up, the way i got it was going for a wide dub safety grab. If you don't suck your knees up it will just be a off axis 3.
