Cork 180: For the Doubters

[*DrewT*]

Am I the onyl person here who the video doesn't work for? I click the picture and it just opens up the picture in another window and doesn't play a vid

Leave this window open for a couple of minutes, it should start moving...

If not, some form of ad blocker may be stopping it from moving...

That's all that I can think of.

now that ive seen them they dont look like they would be that hard

 

[Desjardins]

i thought about this long and hard and i didnt think it was possible, but now i guess it is, but really its right on the cusp of being a cork 180, gut ti still look extremely steezy.... thats one CRISP cork 180

 

[TechnoPotamus]

so insane....honestly that is just amazing.

 

[i0z]

how bout this some one try and do a corked 7 and hit a wall as soon as they get through the 180 then it is a corked180 and it is possible u just need a little help

 

[deleted4]

i fully qualify that as cork

 

[Christian_Schum]

whatever it is, cork or just off a axis in some way...its super dank

 

[zerospinskier]

why the fuck does it matter what its called? like really though.....why? is it gonna help skiing progress faster or make you a better skier?

 

[Silence]

sick (off axis)

 

[skier_boy26]

why it is a cork... in my opinion. Cork has come to mean the type of off axis rotation, similar to how a rodeo and mistys have their own type of axis even through different degrees of rotation(or the kang flip for example). It isn't what a traditionalist might call a full "corkscrew" spin, but that has faded away from freeskiing... We are going after "cork" spins... My main justification is this: if you do a cork 720, you do a cork 720 because it is catagorized by that type of axis. If you do a cork 900, which may be a continuation of the 720, is still the same type of axis. But I think the main point is the cork 720 had the potential to turn into a cork 900, so a cork 180 could turn into a cork 360, which could then turn into a cork 540, and so on...

so it isn't a "corkscrew," but its axis would be in the catagory of what we have come to know as "cork"

sorry, im fucking tired, but its a cork

[DaysToCome]
