So should I just carve a little harder into my 3 and act like I'm sort of puting my feet on a wall or something? Thanks

do it on a tramp first. You are going to have to do it on a big jump so you want to be sure about it.

naturally let your feet "go to the wall" by carving in and setting a slight off axis rotation. if you wind up, you will go to 540. wait for the feeling of sideways than look at your landing, you will come around, TRUST. get comfortable and trust you will come around with the spin, eventually you will control it.
cant do it on tramps, but every spin improves air awareness

If you set the trick right as you take off and lead with your head, you will spot your landing with no problem at all and you will stomp that

They're much easier on skis than on tramp.


Work on carving some 3's on a jump first, then when you go for it, imagine that the lip of the jump is extended and think about hand dragging that extended lip, It should set you up the right way. Make sure you're not hucking your self into that position but instead letting your carve axis put you there.

This.

Doing cork 3's on tramp is very hard because you have no momentum. Similar to why a "real" rodeo is difficult on tramp. Every motion you need to make is more natural while you have forward momentum.

Also, this is how I learned it. Just worked on carving straight 3's, and then took it to more of a "feet on wall" feel.
