kick your kicking leg toward your left shoulder and lean back into the spin. Plant your jump foot, spin around it and lift off. you are sort of jumping foward and doing a regular spin. Get horizontal. if that made sense do it. :eh:

Yeah ok i will try this next time thanks. so i have to do a quater turn on the floor as i throw my leg over?

[J.B. II]

do it as selfdestructively as you can imagine! sounds mad and that it really is. do it, trust me! you wont fail or hurt yourself, remember it next time you try corks. oh, i almost forgot! the right/good technique is important, too. your technique is good as soon as you get some more courage.

so, do corks many times like trying to kill yourself XD

[Djp]

You're running forward, which is bad. It's much harder to learn corks running forward. Do a J step, it's when you just take about 3 steps in the shape of a J and take off your left foot and throw the cork. Try that out and if you need any more advice just let me know.

Also, learn how to spot the ground before and after the twist. I learned by throwing the leg up and at an angle, and turning my neck over to see the ground. From there, I would rip over and twist, then I would spot the ground again, allowing myself time to set up and land. When you do the move right, your leg will shoot out, just like a b-twist.

cheers guys, i reckon i'm gunna stop being a pussy and using the crash matt and just try a few on some matts using the j step. i will post the results up as soon as i do it.

Here is my first cork attempts on ground. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra0255ACzF8 please comment

Dude, you almost have those on ground! nice! Just keep practicing i would say...

The only advice i can give (since i cant do em yet) is to maybe kick up a little harder and throw your core upwards. Your spin is fast enough tho. Good work man!

cheers man
