I know I’m hitting the right axis and it feels right but it always falls apart at 360-540. I noticed my hands go in the air and come back and I’m assuming that’s what’s wrong or a symptom of what’s wrong but I don’t know how to fix it. Thanks in advance

keep your head looking over your shoulder and be spotting the landing

 

[Knapzach]

Throw it with passion

 

[Notaskibum]

need a bigger jump, set the spin harder, and keep spinning, you are like opening up at 450

 

[33luke33]

keep spinning. wind up harder to help with that maybe. stay tucked and don't freak out.

100% this, you need to spin harder, you only got to 540 if that. spin harder, stay tucked, it will tilt right around and you will stomp...axis looks nice, good work

ima be completely honest you ain’t hitting the right axis at all

 

[freestyler540]

Yeah, more rotation. Do a bunch more 720s to feel the rotation. For a cork 5, think cork 3 and spend 180 to get out of it.

keep going man, seems your progress is going well

looks like you would've had cork 5 no problem in this clip, you're not really setting/popping hard enough to bring it to seven.

would definitely reccomend throwing 20+ straight/pencil 7s next time you go out, once you get that a feeling for how much power you need in a 720 pop throw it on that axis and you'll bring it around no problem.

Stay a little straighter and pull your legs up at like 270. You need to keep your body at the pitch of the jump unlike an upright 7. You dropped your shoulder early which caused you to kind of mork. Keep your chest up longer and feel your feet coming up in front of you before tucking it over.

Pop more and look over your shoulder rather than down at your hip

 

[Treegrabber]

you head isn’t in the right position. What could help is if you bring a big glass face and balance it on your head while attempting

This should put a natural crack in the bones of your neck so you get on the right axis

hope this helps

Thanks all. Basically I’m hearing this:

-spin a couple more 7s to learn how much set I need

-be more patient with the cork, don’t drop my head and shoulders immediately

-pop a little harder

-keep spotting around

a cork 7 is theoretically easier than an upright 7, this is why all the pros do it. If you throw the cork correctly you should have no issue landing it.

Getting a solid hold on your grab helps so much. It keeps your body together and your rotation in the same direction so your feet will come around below you.

What I’ve always been told is a proper cork 7 set should feel like you’re doing a back drop on a trampoline while doing a 7 and then from there tuck in and let it wrap around. I’ve only ever done a handful and they’re not great tho so take that with a grain of salt. Carving corks are way more lit tho, I like it.
