1st is rotation. The easiest off axis is cork 7. You dont have to force it; the physics do the rest.
So, you must be comfortable with 720s. It takes time, but once you have the 7s down; throw a shoulder downwards.

Watch an unhealthy amount of ski movies on slowmo. Dont mimic the moves, understand them…

If you can 360, try a lincoln or a flatspin. I find lincolns even easier than 360s tbh because you're looking at the landing the entire time. Then once you're comfortable going upside down with those you can start trying underflips and then corks. Pretty natural progression imo
