Hi

I'm new to tricking and so currently have no tricks down. I'ld like to be able to corkscrew some time in the future, which tricks should I have down before i start trying corkscrew. Thanks

B-Kick > B-Twist > Backflip > J-Turn Gainer > Cork

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).
