"Maximum" height on corks is completely useless.

guess what bro... you can delay MUCH more than that!!
If you wanna cork cork keep it waay down. I landed a couple yesterday for the first time just by keeping em fast and low.
If you wanna go high.. just don't even bother. Pete woman man man woman already beat ya, I can assure you ; )

because skilz has PMT...
but seriously, you don't want height for cork cork... unless you are munks.. in which case you can fall a few thousand feet onto one foot and still swing a cork out of it
But MAXIMUM height is useful if you wanna try triple cork one day.. but even maximal height may not be enough for most people.. it's just not high ENOUGH
too high = harder to land/control/swingthrough.

Haha thanks... :) But yeah height is only for more rotation i.e. doubles, the perfect height would be so that your torso stays in the exact same position really, so that i minimises the force exerted onto ur leg to swing through :good:

Yeah my advice would be to "whip-back" more so that you complete the flip rotation as fast as you can so you have ample time to spot ur landing and get in the best position to swing through. I.e. You need to be pretty much stood up straight with your swing through leg as far back as possible to allow you to gain more momentum.
:good:
I should make a tut :tongue:

You should haha, cause usually whipping back warrants travel which hurts corks much. It's hard to whip back and still have your body aligned so you don't crapify it haha.
Vids Munks! Tuts Munks!
Just rotate around your upper torso/head in the air. Watch teddy's and his head barely moves from its initial position. Keep em low and quick and you'll swing thru. I got it the session I decided to stop going for height heh.
