corkscrew!

[GSimp]

Yay! I sort of landed my first corkscrew today at the gym. The first one I landed really low, and my subsequent attempts I just crash into the floor, but I did get all the way around. I have no trouble spinning, I spin fast as hell, but I need more height. Any tips? Stories of how you learned it? By the way, it feels fucking awesome since currently I can't backtuck or slant gainer.

I prescribe backtuck and gainer, stat!

There is NO way you should be doing corks.

Have you read Tricking 101? You should use that.

Yes Corkswrew is a C Class move!

C CLASS!!!! :agony:

[GSimp]

I'm using it to get over my back tuck mental block. I had them, but lost them because I crashed. Doing corks helps me to get over the mental issue. Can you offer any advice on the CORKSCREW?

[TartanPajamas]

Yes. Stop doing them. Get a SPOTTER for your backflips, then get gainers, then gainer flash, then moonkick. I mean, that's if you want to be remotely successful.

Simple. You've gotta get the height. I used to have the same problem as you.

Kick your leg up and try to get your hips as high as possible.

THEN, you twist.

[TartanPajamas]

Or get some prerequisites. That's what I did, and cork is one of my strongest moves right now.

Tartan PJ's knows where it's at!
