when i do cork i do i blindly wich is ignorant
i don't really have control over the move
if i land, i land
if i crash , i crash
i don't have control over the cork
i will mostly land it but but i keep dropping my hands becauze i can't see the ground coming...

Well I'm definately not your cork expert, but I'm positive that you turn your head to the direction you're spinning. It will speed up the spin like krazy and thus giving you more time to land the move.
Same goes for all spinning moves. Look where you're going, it's as simple as that.

Andy, I'm giving you the honour of receiving my 100th post.
But the thing is the guy asked where to look, and obviously he didn't know that if he's asking it.

Yes I'm sure we all are unworthy to revel in the secrets of Andy.
Remember to copywrite what you write, though. Who knows... he might publish your PM in a website without your permission! :shocked:
That would be the end of the world now wouldn't it. Shit... you might even have to cease PM'ing alltogether!

Look up (in relation to your body) until you leave the ground, then look left (your spin direction).
**post edited because I SWORE Andy said something assholish, but I can't find it now... :(

tartanpajamas is right, u gotta stall so dont look at the side from the beginning, first look up , stall , then look hard to the side.

If you look up relative to your body, your body is going to arch and you're going to deprive yourself of height. You only need to look forward and then over your shoulder. Example:

Or for more horizontalness you can look up in relation to the GROUND. Like Teddy:
