How do you do a cork off of a diving board... all i can do are 7's and any spin smaller then that
 
when you do your final bounce try to turn sideways a bit, drop a shouler and instead of just flipping also try to twist
 
honestly the first time i did anything i just imagined a picture of it being done...and just commit...the worst thing that could happen is also the most common thing that could happen...YOU LAND IN THE WATER
 
I do some cool backflip/overcork spin...

I can't explain it, but the kids who are really into NO THAT'S A DSPIN, NO FLATSPIN YOU MORON...BIO1!!!11

would love trying to figure it out.
 


My pirate name is:

Mad Roger Rackham

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.

 
Corks are almost impossible i think.

I can do misty 5's, 7's and 9's

normal spins upto 9

switch flips

lincons, fronts, gainers, gainers to jackknife

its all so nifty
 
yeah thats the closest i come.

a 360 to an off axis 3 (kinda a cork 7 when its together)
 
im scared of doing major tricks on diving boards, cuz last time I saw this kid and he hit his head on the board. im pretty much terrified now.
 
throw one arm arcoss your body at an angle (down toward a hip or something) and follow through that motion with the corresponding sholder (look in that direction as well). bring the other arm to your head so your hand is basically touching it (pretty much just so its out of the way). throw a flip with alot of heel pop and rotate through. use your abs to control it all.

i competed all through high school on the springboard team and thats what we found to be the closest thing.
 
yeah, kids hitting their heads on the diving board and some little kid crapping in the pool are the 2 things that get everyone kicked out of the pool.
 
I used to be able to do running gainers off the deck...but then i saw a buddy almost knock him self out doing it so i stopped
 
Fuck ya leckett! ^ this man speaks the truth. when it comes to water related jumping shit. In the end balls wins out.
 
drop your shoulder and flip

it turns out to be a narsty corked 7

or lincoln with a quick 180 at the end

those are fun too
 
i learned these sick unnatty bio 5s this yr its like you throw a front flip five cept you spin the 360 like befor you get half way around and then pull it out wierd so slick i sudgest just tryin an unnatty overfip and ull probably do it

also i got this trick called the over cork where you do a oneeighty then go to throw the cork real hard and end up doin a crazy flip
