Starting off corks...

okay so ive looked over the searchbar on how to do this but it is still kinda unclear...

so i have been trying to learn cork spins on the trampoline but dont really know how to start them. ive heard put right hand to left tail, lean back, and tuck your head.

i just need someone to elaborate more on these because i want to be able to land th em soon...
 
yeah your right, i figured i was inside i might as well ask before i go back out...im going out now to see if i can do them.
 
so i couldnt stay out long(knee bothering me) but i think i got it, ill video it later this evening. but i got like cork 3 and i dont know why but i couldnt spin anymore than that...and i dont suck i can go up to 1080 regular...is that normal?
 
I would assume if you can only spin 3 you are coming out of your tuck early and not commiting enough. Something like that, just keep looking in the direction of your spin and try to maintain the corked axis.
 
First, do you understand the physics of corking? if not pick up the nearest solid object and throw it around and make it cork.

Now you should understand the stuff like u don't need to do anything to un-cork, you just need to throw it properly and you'll pull out of it naturally.

Go out to your tramp and practise them in two segments, do half-a-cork 270 onto your back, then continue the spin off ur back, and half-cork 270 back onto your feet, keeping the momentum and spin from the first 270.

Then take it to the air.

did that make any sense at all?

oh, and watch ppls vids and watch how they throw their bodies/arms
 
I learned by just playing with backward rotations, but it is true, drop your left shoulder and tuck.
 
its fucking cake... you gotta just sit back.... think about it, a cork on everything is a horizontal spin. so set your spin towards the ground but only let your feet rise with your rotation not over your head...throw your spin over your chest and side so your right hand basicly goes to your left side like your punching a midgets head behind (the midget will get you corked)...lol
 
When I try to do corks, i do them like a backflip except i look to a side while bending backwards instead of straight back. Usually, I go 180 with my feet going over my head and me landing on my ass instead of feet. I dont think this is cork, if not, what is it? an underflip?
 
This is the revised edition, I decided that starting over with a new thread would be cleaner. Ok, revised through your comments and suggestions, this is Trick Guide: Version 2.

Before reading this, I’d just like you to know that this was my best attempt at this, and that it took me many hours to get this together. I have a huge archive of good NS video’s on my computer, but its damn hard finding the original pages in the video section of NS.

Another cool note here too: These are all video’s from NS members! Way to go guys, some of these video’s are damn classy. I kinda had fun making this because I got to see how much talent our members have. We rock! Check out the video’s below if you don’t believe me.

(Disclaimer: If you see yourself in a video that I’ve used and want to have it removed (for some reason I really cannot imagine, you did post it for the public) then just PM me, I’ll talk to a Mod and get it removed for you.)

Thanks, enjoy what I’ve come up with:

Cork

A cork is a off axis spin that is leaned back, but so that the rider does not go inverted at any point. It is a popular trick, and many pro’s and amateurs do these very well.

Bio

A forward corking non-inverted spin. Note the lean the rider has forwards at about 360. Also, see CR Johnson in SM2, SM3 or Propaganda, he does them best.

(it’s a switch bio 10, but it works, note the lean in the rotation)

D-spin

Set the same way a cork is, but is more leaned back. A d-spin is essentially any cork where you become inverted. In all of these videos note how the feet will go above the head. Evan Raps does these very well, also see Mike Douglas.

Rodeo

A rodeo is not an off axis spin like a cork, d-spin or bio. It is a spin with a FULL inversion, aka, the riders feet at some point in the spin go directly OVER his or her head. See Mark Abma in Yearbook for a very sick and slowed down Rodeo 7. Also, Mike Wilson rules at these, see Ready, Fire, Aim for some huge ones.

http://media.nscdn.com/uploads/member/videos/1149447399Abma%20rodeo%207.wmv (Yes, could be a flatspin, but it looks pretty vertical to me. Looks very close to a underflip 7 as well)

Flatspin

Flatspins are very close to rodeos. They are thrown almost the exact same, but the difference is that in a flatspin, the rider never gets completely inverted. Heres a way to think about it: A line extending through you from your head to your toes when you stand up. In a rodeo, this line ends up completely inverted at some point (although your feet can be somewhere else, like leaned back in a tail or a mute or something) while in a flatspin, this line never reaches true vertical. The line between what is a rodeo and a flatspin is understandably very blurry, especially when one considers tweaked grabs and such.

Check out Corey Vanular doing one: http://www.orageski.com/en/team/team_2_video.html

Misty

A Misty is the counterpart of the Rodeo. It is a spin with a front flip. Note in these how you can see the skis go OVER the persons head and wrap around.

Underflips

An underflip can easily be mistaken for a rodeo or a misty. It’s an odd rotation: a 90 degree turn off the lip, followed by a lincoln loop up the hill (head faces jump followed by feet) to another 90, landing backwards. See niklas karlstrom in teddybear crisis up the step-up, or in X off of a small snowbank. Vincent Dorion also does these well.

Overflips

Baisically the opposite of an underflip, commonly mistaken for a misty 5. 90, lincoln loop downhill (feet face jump followed by head) to another 90, landing backwards. see mike wilson in ready, fire, aim or in superpark 2. These do look almost exactly like misty’s. Searching on NS, I could only find one video of an overflip, and it wasn’t that great of an example. We need your video!

You see, these suck, we need better ones.

Backflips and Frontflips

Pretty self explanatory. Here are some don in my favorite style – incredibly huge.

Lincoln Loops

A single inversion, with no spin. Basically, just a cartwheel, where the rider flips to the side, doing a barrel roll. These are usually done off cliffs, especially when Seth Morrison is around.

Kangaroo Flip

Jon Olsson, Sweedish wonderboy, pulled off this trick at the Jon Olsson Invitational this year (2006), blowing the other simple spins out of the water. It’s a double flatspin by many peoples terminology. With Mike Wilson pulling off double corks, expect to see more of these ‘double inversions’ in the near future. This will no doubt make this guide a whole lot longer.

do like a progression thing, first get the looking over your should thing down by doing a cork 360 and landing on your back just do that over and over till you get the feel for it....then get really good at straight up 7's just do as many as you can back to back, after that start grabbing while doing your 7 , that'll take you off-axis a little and just keep taking your grabs deeper and deeper for a more off-axis spin and the cork should then come after awhile
 
haha if everyone would just read that post and watch those vids i think the 'how do i...' threads would be nonexistant. that is, until someone comes in with a 'how do i throw a switch double cork 14?' in which case, noone on here could be a reliable source for that kind of rotation
