we had an airbag at my ski hill and i thought i was thrownin the cork right but, i dont think i was coming out of it,..... any tips? or a better way to cork at all?
 
Its much easier to come out of cork if you set the cork harder and earlier. Basically, get the scary part out of the way first... go blind for a bit... then your feet will come around.

I still dont really spot my cork 7s until the last 630... if you can do em on the tramp then you can do it on skis!
 
I learned by winding up for a normal spin and then throwing my hands down to my bindings' heelpieces. probably some bad advice, but idk, worked for me.
 
I just learned these last week after no less than 30 tries, so I know what you're feeling. I watched every attempt on video, and it's really kinda hard to judge what you're doing wrong without video. What I found was that the harder I set the spin, the closer I got to landing it.

The day after I watched the film, I tried it a couple times setting it harder and harder to the point where I almost went inverted. That time, the spin came right around and I was so stoked to see the ground below my feet instead of landing on my right side like I did about 30 times before.

Try to set the spin hard. Think of setup as almost rotating your right shoulder down to your left knee.

Here's a vid of my first time landing it. Not the best looking....
