Throw it more like a spin rather than a flip

If you do the progression step correctly (throwing it over your shoulder to your back) your body should be facing perpendicular to where you originally started, then continue it over your shoulder, you were just lading on your butt, but if you land on your back and then continue the rotation that will help. Then when you actually try it you have to throw it harder. Ik that may be hard to understand but if you practice the progression step a lot and then throw it harder when you actually do it you will get it.

also if you open your chest up a bit on your take off, i find that helps as well

sorry i keep adding posts, but it looks like you dont have much airtime, like when i learned mine i did them on a supertramp and went decently high so it felt pretty easy, but on your tramp try thowing it more like a spin and a tad harder to get around quicker. Another good tip i learned from a guy a whistler bounce was that it helps if you try and jump then throw your trick rather than jumping and throwing it at the same time, not sure if that'd help but it may be worth a try.

Try throwing your hips forward when you set the spin. Thats what took me from landing on my side, not completing the rotation, to landing the trick on skis. Hope that helps! So you should be thrusting your hips forward and up at the same time as dipping your left shoulder back and looking down over your left shoulder

Throw it more like a spin as said before, but if you head over to JensNystom newschoolers account and go to his videos there is a in depth guide on it, learned corks last week because of it.

I know it sounds weird but just think of it as a 720 thats off axis rather than a cork 7. set it a little more upright and keep looking with your head. you have plenty of airtime to get it around.

probably the easiest technique is to pretend there is a midget standing behind you, and you're trying to punch the midget when you set.

They're one of those tricks where you end up saying, "Holy shit, that was easy," once you land it. When I learned mine, I was always flipping too much, and making the rotation into some weird under flip. To correct this and get the cork, I just threw for a seven, but dropped the shoulder i spun towards. Practice it and it will come around quick.

Ya looks like you are throwing it to much like a flip. Try and focus more on spinning the 7 and dropping your shoulder and look around so that you can spot your landing.

To answer that correctly I am not 40 years old, but I'm old enough to Internet from my own house, not my parents house in middle school.
