B-Kick > B-Twist > Backflip > J-Turn Gainer > Cork
Might want gainerfulls too, just to be safe.

I actually agree with that. All of those moves help in their own little way, even though you could add slant gainer/moon kick after j-turn gainer. I think that move helps loads with the cork.
Personally, I went backflip > pivot gainer > j-step gainer > moonkick > cork.
I "have" btwists, but they're incredibly inconsistent, and that probably explains the inconsistency of my corks too: I'm not very "twist-aware".
You could probably get a half-decent cork with little twisting experience, but yes, I echo the residing sentiment of getting b-twists down. I also agree with Dan's comment about moonkicks (when I cork, I set up exactly the same as a moonkick, but stall a little then rip the twist out).
Too much free time, Surge?
I'm at college, what do you expect?
holy crap that was an old post haha. I can btwist fine now lol.
