Need Quick Confirmation

so i was at the pool today doing the misties, rodeos, flatspins ...whatev etc.

but i never knew how the fuck to throw a cork off a diving board, it always confused me. anyways i decided to try today, starting with no approach just jumping off at first trying a cork 7. i think i got them, i just need confirmation to assure that my eyes aren't deceiving me...

here's one before i started to approach better and boost higher:

sorry for the shitty quality, this was taken by my phone real quick.

thanks.
 
yep, cork 7. and it's not about if you lean a certain way, it's if you're feet are in front then it's cork and if they're behind you then it's bio. that's a good rule of thumb i use.
 
yeah, i guess it's a weird angle, cause i'm jumping out a bit to not hit the board, but dropping the shoulder to go back, so i guess if it was from the side it would look a bit different.

thanks guys.

that is definitely cork, bio is head first while cork your feet are ahead of you. Such an awkward and scary trick on diving boards
 
diving boards are super fun. our pool has a low and high dive and the high dive is like 10 feet or something and i learned rodeo 5s and 7s off it. haha and one time i was up there and the life guard blew the whistle, or saying it was the end of free swim kind of thing and i motion for one more and he said go for it. haha so i tried to show off and do a rodeo 9 and threw too hard into the backflip part and so i ended up doing a rodeo and a half 810 to faceplant. it was funny.
