Any tips on bringing this to cork 7?

Learn bio 5s, then bio 7s, then. Do a switch bio 7. It’s like starting backwards and then turning around and then doing a bio 5. That’s basically how to do a cork 7

Try getting a lil higher to get more airtime so you can spot your landing

Learn the progression where you do a 450 to your back and then another 270 after the bounce. Then learn it in the air

to answer your question directly you are heavily back flipping which makes getting into the cork axis very challenging

i would watch this and try visualising how the trick should look on skis as this is the end goal. My advice for setting is imagine you are looking for the tails of your skis when you set the trick, dip your head slightly to set into the cork axis then look round for 7. it’s definitely more of a spin than a flip i would practice how hard you need to throw a normal 7.

You’ll do it if you are spotting it earlier your rotation is actually pretty much on you are just not able to put it to your feet because you are getting lost in the air

There is nothing to learn with a trick like cork 7 you just have to commit, provided you can already do a regular 7 regularly

Not supposed to be inverted completely during a cork. You are much closer to a backflip late 180 than a cork.

I was just huckin when i learnt it. But my tip is to just do a fuck ton of 360 to your back and continue the momentum from the spin to almost a crooked backflip to your back. Can send video if you didn’t understand.
i helped a handfull of people learn cork this year, and this is the technique i used. When you get the feel you just do some hucks and boom

I've taught 5 friends how to cork 7.
What you're doing wrong is the set.
Work on doing 360 backdrops to back-snowball out.
What you are doing is setting backflip and trying to spin like a back full.
Stop that. Do 360 then backflip not backflip 360 (to put it in shitty terms but makes sense to people who aren't gymnasts)

If you have a trampoline in your backyard this will take you literally 1 session to get if you understand what I'm saying.
Once you understand the rotation I'de start doing 720 to backdrop, once you get that down the translation to cork10 is very simple. The start putting some weird grabs in and bam easy stuff, once you get the hang of it cork7's become natural like backflips.

I've always been fascinated by skiers who are able to spin both ways identically. For me and most people when I do right side stuff I look like its my first time landing the trick every-time because I've been spinning left for so long.

feel that. i don't have too much of a unnat spin. just more natural spinning left on skis. but funny enough, on tramp my most natural cork is to the right. but on skis i cork to the left.

I leaned right cork on tramp first, then i learned left corks to show a friend corks weren't hard.
