How to cork
title says it all. I want to cork and have no knowledge on the matter. How big should I go when I attempt? 3,5,7? To carve or not to carve? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Cork 3 is a bad one to do first. Either 5 or 7 depending on what ur comfortable with. Id give you tips but everybody has answered this question 1000 times. Don’t wanna be a dick but just searchbar it.

Okay thanks bud.
I looked around but couldn’t find definitive answers. I’ll look again
Corked 3s and 5s (for me) are easiest on longer jumps. Cork 7s for me are easier on shorter more poppy jumps.
Doing proper corks is hard af. Highly recomend learing all 4 on tramp before taking it to a jump unless you want a fat hip check.

Learn to cork on a tramp, then do the exact same thing on skis.

Play enough ShredSauce and you'll learn through osmosis
Overwhelming consensus seems to be tramp first.
How similar is it going from tramp to skis?

The rotation is similar but on a tramp my corks are more off axis and they come around very easily, on skis my corks are more comparable to a back full with a tad of wobble.
It’s pretty terrifying because you’re blind until the last 90 degrees of the spin (cork 7), but the easier part is you don’t have to worry about going off axis with a regular 720. I learned corks a few weeks ago and out of all of them I’ve thrown, Ive only crashed once which was my first attempt. Otherwise it’s a lot easier to keep them consistent and you’ll be glad you tried once you do, there’s less of a consequence to injury compared to a backflip.

Helpful vid, thank you
SkylineGTR_R32Thank you all. How do I set?
I landed my first one saturday and what helped me was to no cork it really hard. At least for me, setting the cork hard made me get inverted. I recommend to just set the same as a 720 but slightly back and it'll put you on a nice corked but not flipped axis. I tried on a 20 foot jump cuz thats the biggest my mountain has to offer, but i think 30-35 would be better cuz you wouldn't have to whip it and you would actually have time to grab.

Thank you this helped a lot
No problem g, good luck corking
SkylineGTR_R32Helpful vid, thank you
Go for a cork 5 first. If you don’t want to try it off a jump, go for a handrag cork 3 off a knuckle. The hand drag allows you to easily get into a cork rotation without too much risk. After you get used to it, send it off a medium kicker.

I wish i started doing this first. Would make my axis much better
