the J steps are the same in the 2 corks...
so that will not be the problem

Twist.

Looks like you might be turning and pivoting more on the curvey setup right before you jump, despite that though you're also twisting a bit early.

i've been thinking today what the problem is , probably:
-i have to jump UP and twist while i'm jumping up The J-step will take me horizontaly
-i have to do a decent J-step
what do you think?

lol u can do it man,
but uve lost confidence,
what im guessing is , u got the move, thought about it ALOT
possibly everyday when not tricking, u got the thought in ur mind
what if i cant do it anymore, then u did a rushed cork twisted to early
and now u think u cant do it anymore..
WRONG
first of all be calm when tricking, it looks like ur eating urself from the inside when u were attempting that last cork.
stay calm and believe in urself being able to do it.
u had a nice cork, only thing wrong now is that ur twisting too early
and not stalling before twisting.
no biggie , u'll get it back in no time :good:

You gotta ditch that fairy leap you have going on when you go into it. It kills the momentum of the running setup. Think of it as more of a luuungggee forward that'll keep you moving upwards throughout the jump. Not a run *hop*, return to ground, *swing and jump* type thang.

this happened to me and my btwist. It took a couple weeks to get it back, but now my btwist is by far my best move. Your just psyching yourself out on it. You need to man handle that cork like its your wife. Dont be afraid to give it a pimp hand or two.

It looks to me like its your kicking leg. In the first one it looks like you swing your leg up higher than you did in the second one.
