Biggest progression ever in one night

okay. So I live in Iowa right?

So keep in mind that you NEVER see inverted tricks or anything like on the coasts.

I went out with a couple friends to the hill and was trying to work on 3's myself. My other two friends were doing 5's and were throwing a couple clean ones. Their names are russell kalvelage and tim rusk just for the sake of throwing out names.

Well Tim hasn't rotated over 540 in the park so he was just kindof playing it safe. Me and russell decide that we're going to head over to the rail park to take a break from jumps, and Tim says he's gonna stay back and hit a few more.

Well we get back to the terrain park and we're looking for Tim. We stop at the top of the lead-in to the first jump when this guy says "wait til you see this kid. hes fucking amazing."

So me and russell are standing there waiting for this mystery steezemeister to make his entrance, and low and behold it's tim rusk barreling through gapers to the lip.

Tim throws a motherfucking cork 720. not hucked at all. smooth rotation throughout.

continues to throw them all night. even got the rotation for a cork 900 but came in too steep and double-ejected.

Now please newschoolers. Tell me how one goes from their biggest trick being a 540 to a cork 720 in ONE NIGHT?
 
dude thats nuts. mad props to tim. i guess though if you really wanted that trick, you could learn it quick, its all in the head anyways
 
cool story hansel

no but honestly hes got balls and apparently when you and your friend ski with him you hurt his progression so maybe you should leave him alon more often, lol.
 
because a cork 720 is closer to acrobatics/gymnastics than it is classic skiing ability. my guess is that your friend is naturally athletic and has good body control.
 
Thats sick but really with sevens its pretty easy to go corked and i would not be supprised if the first one he threw was by accident and he just went with it

either way the kids got balls.
 
not really its kinda the other way round cos once you've completed the first 3 the way your body is in the air pretty much makes the second three come round without any effort.

don't get me wrong though still props to tim!
 
ya, it was harder for me to learn to 7 than cork 7.

cork 7 keeps u on ur cork axis once you set it, but on reg 7s i would start to lean after 3/5 and the spin comes around way faster when you cork and doesnt look as fast
 
ok, so its not one night, but this year i've gone from sketchy 5's with an unstylish tail to doing 10's (pencil) and quite nice 7 tails. workin on my corks now. i know its a claim, but if you really put you're mind to it, one thing really leads to another in park skiin. IMO.
 
Sundowns not that bad.... they just need to get rid of their pipe and put in a rail park or another jump.

Their pipe is so shitty its scary. But i heard they took all their jumps out last week since everything melted off?
 
last week i started throwing 5s, which i hadn't thrown in like a year and a half, and decided to go for a bigger wind up and ended up cork 7ing no problem.
 
haha in my whole life!

i guess if you really wanna do something it'll happen eventually yknow he was probably thinking about it for a long time and then there ya go he gave it a shot and pulled it
 
haha i love sundown. that's the first place I ever rode powder in a cornfield. My friend got tangled in the barbed wire. for such a small place, they always seemed to be good at building a park.
 
anyone else think that isnt that big of a deal? if you have your 5s dialed trying cork 7s isnt really a huge step
 
didn't wanna start a new thread for this so bumpin this oldie but i just got off the hill and am soooo stoked cos today i got cork 3's dialled! jea jea! not tryin to [/claim] just wanted to share it with my fellow newschoolers!

and no they're are no pics but yes it did happen!
 
youre friend tim has been lying to you about his skiing abilty. i bet he was like yes there gonna go hit rails now i can show off to the public. haha. no he has balls and alot of body control.
 
Cork 7s are easier because its hard to keep your balance in mid air doing a regular 7. Doing a corked rotation turns the 7 from 4 different rotations (180) to one smooth rotation (cork 7) in a regular 7 you repeat a rotation multiple times and during a cork 7 its one rotation.

So sick he learned cork 7s, i was pumped when i did too. But not exactly thread worthy.
