Hey guys,

Looking for some quick advice/tips to help me nail my first cork... I cant seem to balls up when I take off to dip my shoulder... I end up doing a foolish looking flat 3 every time. I have no problem spinning, can hit 3's and 5's flat with ease and stuck my first 7 this season, but the motion of the cork is my wall for progressing... Any tips on how to do it other than just sack up and send it? Cheers.

try looking down to the lip of the jump as you go off it will force you to dip your shoulder. Sack up

Try to envision planting your left pole (if you are spinning left) and popping hard then differentiate the spin from the pop and look down at the tail of your left ski bringing your right arm around, just play around with it a little bit and have a buddy film you so you can tweak the amount of spin/ flip ratio you throw off the lip, im sure it will come eventually (assumed this was for a cork 7)

Learn how to carve into 5s and or 7s with lead tail, trailing tail, and nose mute or opp mute. One of, if not all of those, will get you wobbling the axis. People always want to learn by hucking but honestly, if you carve into a 5 and grab opp mute it's almost definitely going to cork out

Commit don’t quit

... and if you have one of those indoor places where you can practice jumps on a soft landing or getting the motion down on a trampoline first. Before I try a new big trick I make sure I can get the motion in air perfect so I don’t eat shit nearly as bad on first attempt
