Cork 180

basically im not going to read the rest of this thread because you the high holey grnad funk railroad master of distinguishing cork, seem to have absolutely no concept of what cork is. if your head is under you feet its called inverted. that trick was started a few years back by a man called mike D, mike dizzouglas, MDizzle, THE mike douglas. it was a dspin. people have now half assed the d spin and just do barely inverted spins (see overcork).

Cork is when youre body is horizontal to the ground. as i said above people liek to bastardize tricks, or its just from human "error". cork now includes horizontal and a few degrees to either side.

off axis is anything that is not a straight up and down spin. this would include rodeo, misty, cork, dspin, under flip. anything that is OFF the vertical AXIS. its tricky like that eh?

what you are reffering to with an off axis spin, as what many people do now, is jsut anything between cork and a vertical spin.

for a cork 180 you would be cork at 90, then return for the 180. laurents may have just been short of technically cork, but its damn close, and with a step up i guarentee he could do a technically sound one.

what about andy mahres zero on pyramid. he tweaked it so hard he became parallel with the ground. while i cringe to actually consider that cork because we know it was from the tweak, what reasons could you give that it wasnt cork. if laurent were to tweak his "cork 180" liek taht he would be well beyond cork.

quit being a whiny bitch anyways, you are annoying me
 
to do one u'd have to 180 while spinning 90 degrees side ways and then change directions and spin the 90 degress back up possible? i think not
 
lets bring it back to the basics.

"cork"

root word corkscrew.

that means more then 360 degree turn

thus a 180 is not corked but nearly an off axis side kick whatever the fuck you want to call it.

the rotation simply does not facilitate a smooth landing. by the time you come down you would be looking down at the snow with your front tips touching down first
 
ok people....you can cork to the left or the right remember...so, in theory, if you cork right off the jump with a super slow rotation (to the left hand side keep in mind), you could cork to 70 degrees or 90 or whatever, so you were parallel with the ground and then have another 90-130 degrees to come out...it would take some air, but is DEF. possible...
 
anyone seen the intro to X=10, that guy that pops and throws a 180 over the roller. He corks it out.
 
I would have thought a corkscrew had absolutely nothying to do with a rotation..

it is merely a device designed to screw into a cork which is in the winebottle.

Does that mean that unless when attempting to use a corkscrew, you cant go less than 360 degrees, or its not a real corkscrew? What if the corkscrew is inverted in relation to the winebottle? - i would think the cork would break. Just like those that think a corked 180 is possible - you will break.

Not fucking with you - just having fun with the repetition in this thread. the real answer was posted 2 pages ago.
 
i don't think they r b/c u start goingg cork or off axis around the 180 point. making u land on ur side or something or ur head.
 
I believe it is only possible in real life on a dirtbike the way those fools whip the bike out in front of them sideways style. Although maybe you could do this trick on skis utilizing some type of special hip jump. Or something. I actually just confused myself trying to imagine what this trick would look like. All I know is a CAN do them in amped 2.
 
OMG. IS EVERYONE FREAKING SERIOUS!!! I CANNOT stand listening to, "it's been done" and "it's possible." Ya if you want to fucking land on your stomach and face. To do a cork you have to clearly un cork out of it. WHICH IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITH ONLY 180 degrees of spinning. It's just freaking plain LOGIC. LOGIC LOGIC LOGIC. Sure you can do an off axis 180 but you wont land with your skis PARALLEL with the landing, you'll land really weird and sketchy with liek your nose's first then smack down. And ya you can ski out of it. But its not corked. It's just a SHITTY ASS 180. PLAIN AND SIMPLE END OF TOPIC.
 
im gonna be straight up here. look at andy mahre's zero over pyramid. if he kept that axis in a three people would be claiming cork. now, this season at tremblant i witnessed in person, joel aka lanks do a textbook cork 1 over tremblants 'money booter' he was definately one hundred percent corked to the point where i thought he would dig his tips into the snow when he landed, but he told me he landed it clean. so it is possible because ive seen it. mark ass bustas. i dont know where people are getting this notion of physical impossibility from. all that joel did was spin his 180 right away and set his cork then have the rest of the airtime to come out of the cork. its not that hard if you think about it..
 
I hate this. Corked means off axis. Things can be really corked (what you would call corked) or they can be slighty corked (what you would call off axis). Corked is a very broad term that means off axis.

And yes in theory it is but in reality it's next to impossible
 
someone told me u can do switch cork 180 but not straight up (dont be a dick thats what someone told me)
 
I once saw a snowboarder doing a test jump on a huge booter. Sketched it...shooting up way back seated, like getting the board at the same level as his head. But then the guy corrected the position by "whipping" the board around 180, and landed fakie nose (or tail actually) pointing slightly down (towards the landing) and balanced. It was no flip but not a normal 180 either. (think like flat spin 180)

So, could this be kind of cork 180...letting it volyntarily go backseated (but in control), and "whip" it around to correct your positino back to upright (or better yet, slight tail dive towards the landing)

Sorry, english is not my mother language but I hope you understand?
 
no, if you think you can't cork anyway you want and it just has to be straight back, then you are the retard...watch any videos of anyone good and you'll see that most do mainstream "corks" differently to one side or the other (i'm not talking about the way they spin either jackie) and they all turn over a little different, which is actually what makes their style unique...god i hate kids that talk shit just to re-read their own post.
 
^^^ iitttss simmppossiibblleeeeee cause you CAN"T CORK OUT OF IT!!!!!! You can do a cork 180..... but you'll land on your stomach and your noses will hit first.... its not a cork fawk. Its like pointing your noses of your skis down with your toes... nto cork.
 
well circular motion in waving your arms causes a centripital force, which can actualy straighten you out, but I don't think you can do it dead still
 
dear lord you people stop beating this to death. who the hell cares about the difference between off-axis and corked, i mean christ
 
if you want to see a cork 180, check out Eric Messier in "one love". The sickest cork backside 180 you will ever see.
 
think about the cork sevens that bumps skiers do. they pretty much look like a double twisting back somersault, but theyre called a cork 7. if you do the same take off, but only half a twist, and float it out, its a cork 1. you just lean back and look back over your shoulder on take off, float it out with a cross grab through the inversion, and then come down switch.

but it does really depend on your def of croked.

btw, that off axis 180 over the knuckle link back on the first page of this thread looked ill.
 
not possible...u need to continue spinning to finish the rotation (of the corked part), otherwise, u land on ur side
 
Hard, but not impossible. It would just look like those kids learning to do cart-wheels, when they run, put their arms on the ground and semi rotate over them. So a corked 180 is basically like a janky cart-wheel.
 
Bringing this back to see what people have to say about laurents cork 1 in skimatic this year. If his ones in the past were debatable this one could end the debate?
