I never really do tricks myself i generally just don't spar often, my friend asks me to spar a lot i just don't like to spar, but now that i can do tricks i like to spar, but he never spars with me anymore .

if you want to spar with me some time i'd love to, unless he's sparring with me or i'm in the middle of a war or something.

But yeah best of luck to you, hopefully you can do corks soon.

Looks like you have the same problem as I did. Like everybody else has said, it's very difficult to teach tricking. Corks are very daunting, and they're difficult at first, but I found that after I landed my first, I could pull them off constantly. Setting up can be difficult. Just make sure you have your foot flat on the ground to give the most grip. When you begin the cork, you'll need everything to reach it's peak at the same moment. Your arms should be fully raised at the same time as your jumping hip is fully extended and your other is mostly contracted (not all the way, or it looks like you're eating your knee). At the same time, your arms should be raised, your pecs and chest spun, and your abs extended. This is some serious timing that is hard to perfect. Once you're in the air, it's usually best to go into a semi-balled position. Not all the way, or it looks bad, the more laid out the better. Lower your arms and half contract your elbows. Contract your knees just a tad, and bring them to a position that is not fully straight, but just a touch beyond. Keeping this form will make you keep good spin and rotation speed. This is how I do corks. However, don't get into a habit of doing corks all the time. Many trickers can do them, and too many in one replay without variation can get boring.

I hope these tips helped! Good luck

Following from Sky's reply;

You should have good spin momentum when you jump, and a good power behind the leg swing which gets it going. Try B-twists, they give you the basic idea of a cork. Not the same setup, but it involves controlling spin momentum.

(Also, you spelled truckers instead of trickers.)

Edited out, but I'm on an iPad so it's harder to type. But yeah, if you're still having difficulty watching examples of cork replays in slow motion can be helpful.

Pm me for help or if you have any questions.
When learning how to trick it takes time and patients. I can guarantee you would learn it in a day. Just keep on pumping out tricking replays and experiment with different setups. Also it's better to actually know the trick or setup rather then reading or watching a tutorial so you can do the trick in many different circumstances. Hope this helps because I had the same problem and I understand your pain.

Also, always keep the gravity on -30 or you'll just get used to some other gravity setting and have no clue how to trick on -30.

That is not a cork, A cork is a swinging motion to the otherside of the planted leg going upwards.

The move you did in your atempt replays were a Full back, ore atleast most close to a Full back,

If you want to try corking i'll attatch a setup for one down bellow,
My tips for actually doing a cork

Get pretty much sideways, get on hand bellow the side of tori and push slightly upwards, then plant on foot and swing it down into the ground and swing the other leg around going up,
Then when in air get the leg going up down and contract knees to an slight extent so you spin more,
then just edit to make your tori going into the direction of landing.

And my other tip,
When i started out with tricking i Downloaded a shitload of tricking replays of people that did awesome and much better replays then me, (i still do it with replays)
Then just observe and look at how they do their tricks, how they pull them of from setup to spin to landing, just look and then try to replicate,
then if you get something good, try making something new from scratch on your own.


Attatching a replay for you to play around with, and one where i did something out of it.
