how do you go cork i know that you have to carve off the lip and i know what they look like but even jumping on a trampoline i jump up and spin cork but land on my back. can someone help me
 
if your landing on your back your gonna have to throw it harder. really carve off the lip and throw it really fast.
 
if your landing on your back your throwing it all wrong. i cant really explain how to do it. i just fucked around for a while a eventually figured out how to do them
 
Try doing fives really quickly but consistently off a small jump (10ft table), when comfortable doing fives super quick take it to seven, that will get you rotating your body as one comfortably, To cork it, look down a little more over your sholder and let your hips come out in front of you. You dont have to force it other wise you will underflip or Dspin and proabably crash.

 
you obviously don't know that you don't HAVE to carve for corks easier for some maybe like 3 and 5 but for me for 7's and 9's i come straight on
 
when i first tried them i would wind up like crazy, try to spin super hard, and i would throw myself back super far. this would lead into an off axis death spin that would lead to a 720 back slap or a 900 belly flop. it pissed me off so much that even thought i had em dialed on traps and could throw them off any rock or ledge at least waist high i still could not do them on jumps. when i watched the video after some crashes i saw that even before i was off the takeoff i was hunched over and looking down behind me.

I decided to be more patient and throw back less hard, and it works most of the time ( last year i still messed them up from time to time) Being patient lets you get a good pop off the jump and throwing back less enables the set for a cork rotation that you can get out of.
