Is cork 3 harder than cork 5?

id like to know...

im trying a cork 5 for the first time...and im pumped yet a bit skeptical...cork 7 seems easier then cork 5...any tips anyone could give?

oh and sry if it seems like i jacked ur thread...thought itd be a good question under the same topic
 
ya i thought so...cuz i dont have enough spin on my 5 for a 7 and yet...and i just cant do the 3...its soo hard
 
i accidentally did a cork 3 last year. well i was just learning 3s and i was landing backseat so my friend told me i should try a grab and i wond up and when i spun my arms i reached down for my bindings and i did a cork 3. but i only did it once. and i have never done a cork 5 but i plan on trying one this season
 
cork 3's are real easy, try them for a day and youll get em. just drop your shoulder a little or carve, and just go for like a rocket or critical or mute, theyll help go corked
 
no way... i think cork 3's are way easier if your doing them right...

No one get all pissy about this..but the reson why you think cork 7's are probably easier is because your chucking your body/arms and not actually spinning with the core of your body... on cork 7's you have to commit alot more than on a cork 3, with a cork 3 you can start off just a bit off axis and go to the extreme of getting bascially inverted...

....sorry i totally was gonna post two different examples of corks that i do... but i think i deleted them from here...anyways theres one at like 35 seconds into this...

corked 5s are really easy to perfect, corked sevens are really easy to go corked, un corked,, and corked threes are facking hard, but are sooo smooth if you learn them.
 
i do the same thing, just carve in an throw a leading high grab and you should be good. Sevens are easyer because you just kinda huck them and they come around without even thinking about it, with 3 and 5 its harder to get corked and not flail around
 
I attemped a cork 5 on too small of a jump. so i cork 3'd. You just have to fall into the last 180 rotation. and sit down after teh first 180
 
Cork 3's are so easy for me sometimes i do them on accident which is pretty sweet but all you really gotta do is drop yo shoulder a lil
 
Cork 5's are harder. Cork 3's are pretty easy once you get them down. Just throw your left arm for your right heel-piece/vice-versa.
 
i think people are trying to cork too much while learning cork 3s. you have to start with just a carve so you're a little back, then gradually drop your shoulder more and more as you get the feeling of carving and how they come around.
 
ye fo sure, best way to learn cork 3's, the more comfortable u are the more corked you will throw urself.
 
anyone can huck themselves into a cork 5,7 or 9. most people dont even spot their landings.

it takes skill and strength to take a 360 upside down. and like someone mentioned, the best part of the trick is doing all the different angles from straight up and down to a flat spin to a backy.
 
a lot of times, people think bigger cork spins like cork 7's and 9's are harder but theyre easier. they think they can do cork 3's and cork 5's because they go a little off axis but they dnot understand that their bodies have to be parallel to the ground
 
THANK YOU! Seriously though, just because some of you guys aren't doing a perfect 360,and you are slightly off axis,dosen't make it a cork.
 
Y i accidentally learned cork 3s because i was just addin a trucker to my regular 3s and found my head below my skiis but managed to land it somehow. Now they feel super smooth after more jumps.

cork 7 is the easiest and cork 3 the hardest"

Word to that.

i dont mean to be an ass calling you out on this, but are you just making shit up to raise your post count?
 
It's because the motion of a cork 3 is closer to the motion of a flatspin or an underflip than it is to an actual 360.

a back seat 360 is not a cork 360.
 
not really, go jump on a tramp, they;re not that hard. cork 3s are much harder to learn, whenever i mess up a cork 3, it turns into a 5. the trick does itself, you just have to set the cork and follow through with your hips, if you don;t huck it comes around naturally at 5, if you huck at all it comes around for a 7.
 
Cork 5 is not harder than cork 3...it is harder than cork 7 but cork 5's aren't that bad and once you get them they are REALLY fun...
 
try them both and see what happens,

you probably know whar is hardest and easierst for yourself, so go on that.
