Term

Double Cork

Two distinct off-axis/inverted movements within one air.

GLOSSARY

A double cork contains two separate off-axis rotations in one jump, so the rider passes through an off-axis or inverted position twice. It is common at the highest level of big air and slopestyle.

Context and distinction

Double refers to the number of off-axis flips, not the total degrees of rotation. Reports of a 'double' spin without the word cork are not automatically double corks.

HOW TO DO IT

Double Cork

Two distinct off-axis/inverted movements within one air. Multiplicity and reported rotation amount are separate fields; the label does not supply departure or recovery timing.

Preparation and setting

Retain the original named card and its source convention. No complete independent practice assignment is inferred.

Known phases / unresolved execution

  1. Read the exact original definition and its limitations.
  2. Identify feature, stance, contact, axis and exit where supported.
  3. Keep unknown properties explicit.
  4. Use related established components as background knowledge.
  5. Obtain a full reviewed target-specific instruction before assigning reproduction practice.

Learning and practice

Available material provides naming or partial understanding. A complete learning pathway for this exact target remains open.

Errors, limits and corrections

Do not turn a coding-list name or challenge title into a guessed movement. Similar spelling and compound wording do not establish aliases.

Observable checks

Original identity is retained; unresolved mechanics and missing instruction are explicit.

Source conflicts

  • C01 (S9): the Modena prose describes Iwabuchi's trick as a switch backside double Cork 1080, while the trick list labels a backside double 1080 without switch. One performed trick; normalized stance/direction held for review.
  • C05: double/triple/quad belongs to the reported trick name; the numeric angle is not multiplied by the count and no anatomical-axis trajectory is inferred.

Additional editorial review notes

Laax 2019: Jake Pates' other hits were reported as directional 'double' spins without naming Cork; no family is added to those labels.
