Cork 5's.

Pretty new to freestyle and I was wondering about when I should try and throw one of these down. I'm worried about the consequences of fucking one of these up, landing on my head or back.


You only learn by doing, but yesterday I tried to throw and normal 3 on bump and landed on ice. My binding didn't release and now my ligament is fucked for three weeks :( Holiday = Ruined.

for suure. You might even throw a cork 5 by accident. happened to me a couple times when i was learning 5's off bigger jumps. Try a left hand safety if u spin left, that dropping of the shoulder will make you go corked

Fair point. Tried a few and always under and ended up landing flat.
