does anyone know any water jump or something like it in Australia where i could practice cork 7's before trying it on skis
 
You don't need a water ramp to do a cork 7. If you can do it on a trampoline first and then try on snow, if you don't have access to a trampoline just try it on snow.

A larger jump will make it easier to a cork 7, pick a jump that you can comfortably straight 720 on. I learnt to do cork 7's on a small crappy snowdome jump that has ice for a landing just got to give it a go. Probably the most important thing with a Cork 7 is to be patient on the take off, if you spin to early like I did on my first go you will probably end up having a ski come off on the take off which isn't fun.
 
i cant 720 yet, but i find cork 7's way easier than normal 7's on a tramp i think it feels smoother. do you think id be able to cork 7 before i can straight 7

I also find cork 7 easier on the tramp than normal 7's but on skis I would say learn a straight 7 before learning a cork 7. Hopefully you will already be able to do a 540 so it's just a matter of spinning a bit harder and bringing around another 180 for a normal 7. With a cork 7 you have to put together a few other elements such as actually going off axis meaning you have to throw back and set the rotation at the same time. So pretty much get normal 720's on lock then try a cork 7, you first try will probably go shit but they're aren't really a difficult trick to do.
 
better question would be: Where is the closest airbag to OP? There's gotta be at least 1 over there if not a couple. Or just wait for a sunny day , crank up some tupac and throw it down
 
OP, there's one in Lilydale just outside of Melbourne but it's tied up in regulatory bullshit like gotta be a member of like 5 association's and have a certified coach watching before you're allowed to hit it.....I wish it was just rock up and hit it. Would be the best fun during summer

Also Baw Baw and Thredbo have the airbags but i'm pretty sure Baw Baw has shut down for the season and I haven't seen anything about Thredbo getting their's out this year
