Lazy boy cork 3 help

Hey ns, I tried my first lazy boy cork 3 today and it ended pretty poorly. My 3s are on lock and I want to start corking them and I've always loved dragging hands so I feel like this is a good trick to help me start corking my rotation. I carved off the lip and I was quite corked but I couldn't get me feel back under me as I spun to about 300 degrees and landed on my side parallel to the ground. Any advice on how to get my feet back under me or trick tips that have helped in the past? thanks

its all about staying loose. if you wanna do a 3 not a 5 you gotta just carve off. don't throw unless its a tiny jump. honestly a big jump is better for learning them.

Try a big jump and dont bend to the side and drag your hand. Sit on your tails, drag hand and grab high safety with the arm that is up to the sky, dip your head to your shoulder like you are holding a phone between your ear and shoulder, then come around and spot. Post this video and we could help you more.

Here was my first try. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try it off a bigger jump

Ok here's the vid of me trying it today. I know more air would have helped but I feel like the rotation is wack. Thoughts?

Making it over the knuckle might help.

Yeah you gave up on the cork rotation and whipped out of it, probably when you realized you should have been going way faster!

You also need to pop, even though your in a lazy boy throw your skis up a little and pop. This will help you cork it a little better.
