This is my current goal for the season. Basically its all commitment at this point, but I been waiting for some more new snow to try instead of ice out landings. How was your experience learning them? By the summer I want to be throwing these at hood hopefully.
 
*I learned them on a tramp along time ago when I had a tramp, still have the motion in my head but need to do it.
 
you have to big real comfortable doing 7's, then just set the rotation off axis, they are easier than regular 7's
 
dont be a puss, just do it. being scared of falling is futile. east coast landings make you tougher
 
I got them third try and the falls before were no where near as bad as the falls learning rodeos or like even when I first started learning 3s. Throw it hard and hope for the best on the first few. Then once you kindof feel like you got the rotation spotting the landing and setting it down becomes easier

 
exactly since all of our landings are almost ice all the time..took a couple of days on snow,used my friend's tramp to get it into practice
 
one afternoon....its really easy.. takes a little bit, to get use spining off axis... feels werid your first time. its so much easier then a normal seven. you can see your landing somewhat, it isn't blind..go for it when the conditions are right on east coast
 
i learned them on trampolines and then tried it on the snow and torn my ACL and MCL. so i'm done trying to learn corks. i'd rather not lose a whole season ever again
 
Grab some hip/butt pads, wait till it warms up in springtime, and just give'er homie. I've never done them anywhere besides water ramps so I don't know what to tell ya about doing it on snow.
 
some people when they're learning progress their axis. so they get more and more off axis each hit but i think its much easier to go cork first time because you come out of it naturally and if you fall it shouldn't hurt too bad. and don't try and huck yourself be fluent with your movements
 
i was soo happy when i learned corks on the trampoline... i practice them all the time

but how easy is the transition to snow? Am i going to want to throw it a lot harder?

I'm figuring out the differences in the rotation when I dip my shoulder more or less.... so my question is are corks easier on skis when you're really dipped over? or kind of a lean? if you get me....
 
ive tryed them one day probably 6 or 7 times and didnt fully commit so fell every time. i was tryin cork 5s but my coaches told be to go 7 there supposeivly easyer. basicly just stay commited and spin 7
 
the other day i was doing fives and i corked one out by accident then the next one i actually tried and was really minimal corked and i havent been able to do them since
