"Stall" a bit more, means don't wrap so early

dont listen to any of these comments above. ( cept for ZeroDes )

as there is no such thing as stalling in a cork, unlses you awnna twist on the way down..

your cork is sick.

the correct term is "set" not stalling, kslash made a good thread about this a while ago

by "setting" you wait till you are at your peak before you wrap for the twist. get as high as you are going to get, and then hook around

Keep your feet together and it should help you land more upright and ready to combo.


GOOD WORK!!

actaully, i think i learned it fast cause of some other random moves ive learned lately, i got front halftwist, then aerialtwist, then cork
for me, the landing is almost identical to my a-twist, i think thats why i learned it so easy. Also my moonkicks have been getting alot better, getting those down obviously are a neccessity
