Leveling up My Corks *vid*

I still am not 100% happy with them. I want to land with my chest up so I can combo out of it.

Any ideas or thoughts would be sooooooo greatly appreciated.


(I used Simon's music because I made it for him to critique, but he left when it rendered)

And you went to try double corks lols.

You know you made that comment like he's shit or out of his mind, towels wasn't that far off double corks mr bob, and I don't see any corks flying out your direction.

These please me more towels =] I could give random advise but I wouldn't know how to tell you to do what where and when or whatever, because I'm just not experienced in the corking world at all :] But these are definitely better than your older corks.

a good cork is one where you can land and do something out of imo..whether it's a swingthru, popkick, etc, or heck even a simple hook kick.

seems like you focus so much on the cork itself that you forget you need to lift your chest when you land.

the form is good though.

Yes, I realize this. I'm sorry towels.

To clear things up. I didn't intend to make him feel bad at all. However if he ever doubted his cork abilities or ability to combo them then he should never have tried double. Anyway towels I apologize and tbh you aren't very far off double cork but you should at least get hyper cork before you try it again.

I accept your challenge skippy I will land a cork soon enough ^__^

I like yours without the run. Mmmmm

[Fearless]

looks like you dont use your arms enough to me, try using them up get height and the kick to get spin........

just fuck around with your set-up and tech till you find one that you like (and preferably that works well)

[Hyourinmaru]

flowers is a cheap ripoff of the cool towels...
damn wannabe ;p

[saulus]

to get your chest up you just have to pull your arms back when you open up....for me this works no matter how low my twist is....

[Scooba Dave]

you're landing with your chest down... try to get your twist faster, cuz ur twisting on your way down :\.

[Flowers]

Is there any big tip on how to get your chest up?

basically go for s/t its kinda weird but, it helps, also, check out rasmus ott's single corks, "elephant grab " i think is a good example.

try n immitate lol. put more time into corks i suppose. maybe even try to twist harder. like really tight lol

[prostitute]

When you set for the cork, try throughing your arms to the side and instead of starting with them swing from the bottom, have them swinging from the side. Use your leg to set up and get height. So throw your kicking leg wayyyyy up and over rotate to your back having done an extra quarter turn because of the speedy twist and come back and say thank you, prostitute.

[BboyAgua]

can u ploxxxx just hyper already!

[saulus]

thanks for listening asshole!!

[totte]

JUST TRAIN!!!, they look good, and its not that bad at all!!! all you need is to put a 100% effort into em!! and train alot once again! 1 tip thou, throw your arms higher!

[Kaos]

I'd use my arms more in your situtation, start using your arms from the moment you start your j-step, swing them in a way that gives you better power. Um, I'd Probably ask you to take a larger set up, just so that you have more power to begin with so that you have a fairly clean one first, before doing them from less of a set up.
Try Stalling a little longer. . .
Again I'll say use your arms more, you could get more height if you postioned them better. If you remember (tf) simons Boxcutter Avatar, you wanna have your arms in a simliar form to that.
If you wanna start swing them through or doing doubles, I'd say bend your legs slightly, I find it increase rotation speed, and if your swing through that swing through leg is in the right possition to come down and swing through nicely.
Sorry if my advise is useless, I'm crappy at wording. Good luckzorz

[mogwai]

you skills at finger skateboard amazes me:-p
try to use more speed in your setup and block more... then you will get more height..

[daviddalo]

your gainerflash looks pretty dope man

[drunk-monk]

i'll repeat what everyone said,
but the heck with it. swing yer arms up like you're gonna fall down from a building if you don't grab the ledge you're aiming for and bend your legs a little.

the only problem why i couldn't land corks was not bending my legs [a hell lot of a faster spin].
and of course if you want to spin even faster - wrap tight, squeeze your muscles while twisting and really rip your head to your side.

for swt's - think swt.

don't lean back so much go up more
