Put more power into your setup. Take more steps, go faster, etc.

Delay the twist. You twist right when you jump.

Work on gainers if they aren't comfortable.

i hate corks

i had serious problems with corks too. what helped me the most was:

keeping my chest up on take off.

not bending my leg when I swing it up.(You seem to be having a problem with this one)

let my swinging leg get as high as possible(at least above hips)*this was a big one for me*

swinging my arms straight up and over my shoulder, then pulling them in.

those are the best tips I've got :smile:
if they help any please post another vid so we can see your improvement:juji:

You need to learn a fulltwist.

Then learn a scoot fulltwist.

Then learn a scoot gainerflash.

Then learn a scoot cork.

Then you will be able to cork from a j-step or whatever.

just dont do it into a sandpit, do it on grass.

Get a really powerful gflash.

then twist after you take off really hard. Do that and you'll land it :good:

So if i get it right...Just do a sort of Moonkick with a twist..I can Moonkick properly so i think ill be able to do it properly next session!

one thing i find helps is to wait till you feel the stretch in the hamstrings of the kicking leg before wrapping. in your case, don't wrap until you feel a stretch in your right hamstring (and left hip flexors). obviously you still need to kick hard and fast but this will help you get your kicking leg higher.

good luck, cos corks are a bitch lol.

no.

Fuck moonkicks. Seriously. They're like the pansy'd down version of gflashes.

[k-slash]

moonkick don`t help anything but moonkicks.

i learnt to cork and double cork without even learning gainerflash before it thats weird.. since people told me i wont be able to learn cork without gainer flash or any simple gainer from that foot, but also when i learnt gainer flash they became really better and easier, good luck dude you have balls and everybody already helped you out so youre meant to do it, no bullshit kanker :P

[saunders]

no bullshit kanker :P

There's only one thing you need for corks, and that's practice, it took me over 6 weeks solid practice to land my first one, just keep trying man :)
Everyday.
