What axis actually is a cork?

People always say a cork is an off-axis 360, but what axis are you actually rotating through in 3 dimensional space? I have the same question for flatspins and rodeos and mistys but maybe i'll save that for another thread.

Insane

I always thought the axis would be called cork. Are there names for different axis other than the ones we use for skiing?

It’s more about how your axis changes.

Not on an axis. That’s why it’s “off axis. Sounds corny as fuck but hear me out- it’s the difference between spinning around a post, and spinning around a cone.

an axis can be delineated by a line. Off-axis rotations inherently require a three dimensional shape to describe. 2+2=4, -1 that’s 3, quick maths

To follow that up, a corked rotation makes an upright cone, a rodeo makes a cone with the base facing sideways, a misty is forward with the cone’s base facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction from a rodeo, and a bio is forward and makes an upside down cone.
