HOW TO ACTUALLY DOUBLE CORK 1080 on Skis | Pro In-depth Tutorial

Yo and welcome back guys to another video tutorial by your one and only Coach Trifus. Today's video is going to cover the double crook 1080. This is also the first double tutorial, so I hope I can get it done right for the next ones to come. But before we head into it, I want to announce some things real quick.

The double cork or short dub cork, in this case the dub 10, is basically 2 corks and 3 full spins. For most of the people out there, this is one of the first sought out proper doubles they want to learn. I say proper because I mean, a double backflip is like a double or is practically a double, but it's like, I mean, it's just a double backflip, you know, so that's why I kind of split them apart. So however, there are many variations out there regarding the axis, but this video is going to be about the way I do it. Let's talk about the advisory. What do you need in order to learn or more likely start to learn a dub cork 1080? This trick is on the advanced side of tricks and requires you to have absolutely no problems on hitting jumps, doing 360s, 540s, flips and absolute clean cork 720s, especially technique wise. Knowing how to cork free helps as this trick is a combination out of a cork 7 and a cork 3, but technically more likely a cork 630 into a cork 450, but more to that later on. If you can't do any of those things, you better get back grinding. Do not rush this, honestly guys. Ideally, you have experience in doing doubles into the swimming pool or the trampoline. If you have access to an airbag facility or trampolines in general, make sure you take these options as they just increase the chances for you to land it on snow or when the day arrives and you're going to try it. Oh and before you start thinking, damn this kid has all these special facilities to practice his jumps, how am I gonna do it? Well, I did my first double cork, which was a 1260 back in 2009 and the only doubles I did off snow before I attempted in snow was of a crappy diving board at Malochia local swimming pool, so don't get discouraged. If you got it in your head, you gotta do it! Starting off with the inrun. You want to come into the jump the way you feel the most comfortable. In my case, that is coming in straight without any curves and with a decent amount of speed, knowing that I'm going to land at least in the middle of the landing for optimum air and space for spin cancels or anything similar. I speak of cancels because things can happen in the inrun or even the takeoff that will force you to stop the rotation abruptly in order to save yourself midair with a single cork to safety. As you already should be aware of this now, attempting this trick requires a fair amount of air awareness and body control and absolute commitment to save the least. Moving on to the takeoff. As known on the cork 7 tutorial, please re-watch it in case you have missed it because as already mentioned, this is the absolute basis and ground zero for this trick. You want to approach the takeoff with a proper posture. This means you have a firm and strong stance, about shoulder wide or potentially wider as you want to really build up a strong pressure zone between your ski's edges. The inside edges of each ski shall be pressured firmly into the takeoff so you have a maximum grip in order to build up the amount of momentum that is necessary so you're able to cork two times and perform three full spins. I can't stress this enough, if you lack the energy you can get hurt by under rotating so make sure you get everything set of snow before you take it to the snow. You have to really visualize and comprehend that you're going to go off axis two times and have to spin three full rotations. Let's continue with the rotation, the most important part of this trick. This set is pretty similar towards the cork 7 with one major exception. This exception is your right arm and head dip. If you don't know what I mean with that please refer to the cork 7 video again because it is as mentioned ground zero. You basically have to over exaggerate these two actions on the double cork 1080 initiation in order for it to happen. What I mean by that is you want to wind up more since you can then release more power as well as push way harder with your right arm towards the direction of your ski tails. Speaking for left spinners here, vice versa for right side spinners. Your upper body has to rotate faster as well and simultaneously dip your head with the upper body towards the tails of your skis without a repeat, without letting go of your hip pressure. Your hips the lead of the takeoff and cannot at any circumstances move to the left or right or you will lose your build up firm posture and potentially wash off the jump and then lose much needed height and pop. This is the same procedure as on the cork 7. A little side tip from my personal experience. Trying to look at your back right tail tip of your ski while initiating the rotation can help to hit the axis right but this should only help as a visual orientation point because you want to start looking ahead the second you initiated the rotation. So the main concept of how to successfully trigger a double cork 10 rotation is that you over cork the first cork. It may be hard to understand in the beginning but it'll make sense to you the more you think about it. You want to finish the first cork by the time you come around to the 630 degree mark. This is one full and three quarters of a spin. This will also be the first or more likely second time depending on how well you are midair where you have the chance to see the landing and quickly check for yourself that everything is going to plan as well as to see if you have plenty of air time left to continue. You might think at this point what I gotta do all that and check midair where I'm at? Yes, this is why I said you want to be mega comfortable at hitting jumps. Doubles look easy when done right but require quite a lot of simultaneous used finesse. I'll add some more dubs of myself run now so you can process what I have just explained to you and you can observe how I do it. Midair. I just spoke of that 630 degree mark. That is your goal to finish the first cork by and to spot the landing so you can continue the rotation by staying together in a compact form. Best done with a grab. Having no grab will cause you a lot of issues. Mainly not being able to stay compact which leads to a loss of the momentum in order to transition to the second cork and probably end up still spinning in the first cork which ultimately lets you land on your head. You don't want that to happen here. So this mark, the 630 degree mark, is the moment where you as first timer see the landing the first time and is that only window where you cancel your rotation for when things go south. If you go beyond this point keep yourself compact at any cost even if you know you end up under rotating. You're better off barely compact under tension than being loose and landing on your head. Now as you transitioned into the second cork and the sole reason for that is that you put so much vertical momentum by heavily dipping with your upper body and arm you want to just slightly take your head back so you can look ahead. This is the make or break moment between doing a double cork 10 or alternating to a double cork 12 because the second you tilt your head into the spin direction rather than just taking it firmly back vertically will 99.9% end up doing a 1260 and this is the difference between the 10 and the 12. You have to kind of freeze yourself as you transition into the second cork and wait for the landing to reappear so your slightly leading head can spot it and therefore you can start on safely securing the jump. If you ask most of the people if they learned the 12 before a 10 most of them will actually say yes as the 1080 is quite harder when it comes to this point compared to the 1260. Dubbed 12s are so much easier. I'll let some 1080s play again so you can properly process and observe how I transition into the second cork. This is why I've mentioned knowing how to do steep cork frees can help because it kind of resembles this feeling, quite a lot actually. Landing. As you come around the second cork this should feel quite similar to you now. Classic cork free exit. Spot the landing, absorb the impact and in the best scenario you just land your first double cork 1080 man. Let's go! This was coach Stryfus on how to do a double cork 1080 on skis.
