Help with Cork 3's

Hi All,

Been trying to get cork 3's down for the longest time. In my opinion one of the cooler tricks done either on a bc kicker or park jump and now that PC has set up some jumps I am going to go out on Tuesday to try to get them down. My problem is that when I spin them I seem to always land on my side. So I spin left, hard carve and when I come around at 3 I am way too leaned over to the right side and I smack my side. One time I set a little harder and took 540 to my feet so maybe my set is wrong? I can do lazy boy cork 3's easy always come around to bolts but as soon as I try to stand up to set it I land on my side. Any advice helps.

Thanks guys,

Eric

I'm in the same boat and have decided that getting Lincoln's on lock would probably help a lot. That way you can set a cork 3 like a Lincoln and just take it a little less inverted.

Do a normal 3, but drop your inside shoulder, that’s literally all there is to it

Lokdog had a good general summary of the idea, but just to add to it, you should also spot under your armpit. If you spot over your shoulder you'll do a normal 3.

Try learning how to properly handdrag/handplant 180 using one hand (and not lazy boy style). Throw it off a knuckle or something similar. Eventually you'll feel how the rotation works and start throwing some 3s.

Try to keep your stance wide the whole time in the air, and look down at the table the whole time.

This threads already getting me amped to go try some. I was getting billied yesterday in the squaw park trying to carve in super hard and ending up throwing pitched 3s and landing on my tails every damn time I tried them

Tis the season though

they took me a while to get clean but once you can do it you can do it every time. tuck super hard and WAIT

seriously dont take your knees off your chest until youre upright and facing forwards. think about coming out of it like a lincoln loop and it kinda helps you anticipate the weird rotation. its not like an upright 3 where you can spot it and bring your shit around to land. since you can see the landing the whole way if you do it right, you just have to set it and tuck and fucking chill for a sec.

if youve taken it to 5 by accident it sounds like youre thinking about the spin more than the flip. set it with your left shoulder like everyone else said, i needed to throw it downwards way harder than i thought at first.
