I know I can land it. I think I'm just use to landing that way because I like to brace for impact.

cause you're like 10lbs. and your entire backyard is full of spring mattresses.

Goodness Masterj, could you please clip out all the uneeded footage? I'm at school and that is taking forever to load. Very nice attempt though, you're so close! Just gotta jump a bit higher really.
@Violent Cobra: Because your "corks" are shit.

Sorry about the editing. I'm at my friends house and he doesn't have vegas. :sad:
How does one get higher air time? I gotten higher air than that before but my twist gets slower.
why do you invert yourself? haha. but i agree with you...corks are a pain in the ass. i guess someone people just do it naturally....even with mattresses all over the place.
just kick to your shoulder and look over your shoulder...dont look back at all in a cork. if anything look up. you should be able to get it. you're basically doing a gfull. so dont look back and you'll be fine.

Yeah, you are close. I personally think that you just need a bit more height, and maybe stall it just a tiny bit (just to get the height), and then wrap tight. good luck man :-)

corks ARE NOT IMPOSSIBLE. cut up a scottish kid n drink his blood that's what I did.
besure your kicking AROUND-LIKE-A-SWEEP-MOTION- and over your should, for christ sake people say they kick over their shoulder WHEN REALLY THEY ARE NOT!!
p.s armz.

who stalls in cork haha, there's like no such thing. you'll spin on the way down and fail.
all it is, is a 'proper set'.

that was a good looking attempt. you are close
one thing i would suggest trying is not swinging your arms just straight up and then wrapping. when i do it i swing my arms up and over my shoulder then when I get up i just pull them in against my body. and make sure to swing your leg up and across you as high and hard as possible because that will get you more height.
so: swing your arms up and over your shoulder. while kicking, as high as you can, towards your shoulder. when its time to spin, your arms should already be across your body since you swung them over your shoulder; so just pull them in tight against the right side( since you spin to the right) of your body.
im no cork expert but that way works pretty well for me =)

try thinking of it like a btwist with a different setup

Stalling a cork makes for a more inverted cork imo (If my definition of stalling is similar to yours)
I'll do a demo for ya
and masterJ
EDIT YOUR DAMN FOOTAGE!!!

i stall my corks too. "stall" is a really bad way to put it. its more about "waiting till you reach optimum height and then do the trick like its supposed to be done" but alot of people get away with chucking themselves into corks, and it works for them.
people tell me they can walk under me when i do corks :D
3 months and you think cork is impossible?
I've been trying corks for more like a year and 3 months and still have never landed one

I tried corks the first day I tried to trick. It's been almost three years and I've never come close until now xD Then again, I just learned fulls, and regained my gainer ability. Gainers took me two years to learn.
Masterj123456789
Apr-28-08, 12:46 PM
wow, I am happy that it only took me 2 weeks to land gainers! I don't think corks are impossible, I just emphasising the time period that it toke me to attempt this move.
