Any help? i just can barely get cork 900. If i start spinning off axis right at the first 360 i spin the 1080 but i land on my back or something. If i start going off axis later, i wont spin whole 1080. Thx
 
Try to stretch out so you spin faster.. the first 1080s will probably feel like you're going to land on your back but if you throw enough cork you will get back on your feet.
 
If you can barely get cork 9 around then you're not jumping high enough. As far as doing a cork 10, you just have to keep spinning and stay cork till 7 then start to uncork in between 7 and 9 and then swivel the last 180 around at the end, at least that's how I do it.
 
I do the following for every bigger version of a trick (stepping up from misty 7 to misty 9, etc.): just flip less, and spin more. Obviously it's not perfectly analogous for corks, but think about it this way; if you cork as fast as you do for a cork 7 when throwing a cork 10, you're going to go cork one and a half times. So set the spin, and think about corking a lot less; you'll actually cork just as much, but it will be slower and it'll take place over the length of the whole trick.
Once you do that, it's a matter of fine tuning just how much cork and how much spin you need to clean it up. That took me a while for misty 9s (I was over-rotating the flip), so it might take you a while for this, but once you get it, it'll be programmed in and you don't have to over think when to start straightening out or whatever.
Now, double cork 10s are much tougher...
 
I am in the same position as you man. Granted I tore my ACL and won't be able to use my trampoline until I get cleared in the beginning of September, but I can't get anything above 9. I can do standing cork 7's on my trampoline, but when I jump my highest, which is high enough for me to land double lincolns/overflips (w/out double bouncing), all I can still get to is cork 9, and barely cork 9. I can almost do double 10's, but I think I would need someone to double bounce me because I come down on my back at like 9. I'm really gonna miss my trampoline this summer haha.
 
To spread a cork out over a big spin like a 1080 is pretty tough, if not almost impossible without it being a very subtle cork (think woble).

If you want it really corked out, try a normal 3 into a cork 7. That's how I've done them. Ive never done one on a tramp, but you get the point.
 
i just set a tiiiiiny bit of cork, set to spin as much as you can, jump, grab mute, and then pull it waaaay back, like super tweaked. makes you spin real fast and you can get 10. the only thing is you have to let go at the right time or you stay sideways and land on your back/belly.
 
I can't even do a fucking cork on a trampoline. When I try to do a cork, it just does a weird rotation and end up on ma belly. :(
 
Spin a plain ol' regular ol' spin. Start with a 7. Then throw another 7, but this time reach to grab leading safety (left side safety if you spin left) and BAM cork spin.
 
IT is entirely to do with where you are spotting the landing to do a cork ten just spin your ass off and ignore the landing where you usually spot it for a 7 or even a nine.

it will take a while to get used to and you will probably land on your but a few times till you adjust to just spotting the landing a rotation later.

90% of trampoline problems can be attributed to the mental block that happens when you spot your landing, learning to ignore this takes practice.
 
You really need more air, you should be going almost as high as where your head would be standing, then get a really big bounce when you jump. Flip less, concentrate on spinning, if you are spinning fast/well enough, and just flip a little, the cork will come around, you might even find yourself doing a 12 after that.
