Perhaps you should try to kick your leg up higher and wait a bit more so your twist gets you horizontal. Though it's very nice ;) ... just work at it and you will land beautiful corkscrews soon, mf!

Peace

Yeah man...but it's seeming to get better with everytime I throw it. Next time we trick Maxx I definitely have it by then.

You look scared. I imagine your some what similar to me, and have like full minutes between each attempt...

I get nervous sometimes but for the most part I just try and get completely relaxed so that I dont back down at the last minute. After each attempt I usually let somebody else throw something to get my mind off of me just falling.

wtf, your avatar? lol


anyways, Willie you need to kick that first leg waaay higher. You are twisting too soon, don't rush that twist.

Haha, that was the day of the big session my Avatar. FS, Arashi, Younique, StrikingZ, NAN and Manny Brown Central Park Session. Hella fun. :smile: but once again I thank you all for your input and it is appreciated. All this info will go into my cork next time I trick.

I think he was talking to Maxx about the avy haha.

Anyways... you do exactly what I used to do... like everything identical. I used to stand there and walk myself through to move in my mind. I'd wait and just stand until finally... BAM! I'd go for it and almost land it.

As for the tips... pretty much what everyone else said haha. Leg up a bit higher and stall a bit longer.

ah, damn you willie b. *shakes fist* i was there when you landed your first j gainer.

i just recently got the balls to throw my first ones too, and theyve proven to be about as easy for me as they were for you. :swashy:

my cork attempts, however, are not nearly as awesome. :ogre: we'll see where im at when i get back next year though. :wink:

This is my one and only ever cork.

I was happy that day. :smile:

Edit:

After each attempt I usually let somebody else throw something to get my mind off of me just falling.

It's not "falling". It's almost landing. :good:

Yeah Willie just rip that leg up so hard, looks like the rest of the move is already in your head so just concentrate totally on kicking right up to your opposite shoulder.

Dragonic, that was so sick. It sucks you lost it, it was pretty much perfect. Really nice angle and everything,.

Well for that one day you did a hella good cork. Next time I will kick till it's above me head then twist and hope I don't fall, haha.
