    Now for a legitimate question: what the hell does "corked" mean? You know, like when someone says a "corked 720."
    I'll take "off-axis spins" for $1000 please, Alex.

    Wow, even I know that one: it means off-axis, like instead of straight up and down, you're at an angle.

    I think I've already pulled off my trick of the year: Double ejection over a wind lip followed by a corked double layout front flip with double pole toss for distance.

    Uh, excuse me, but how can a spin be "off-axis"?

    Maybe if someone locked you in a clothes dryer?

    My trick will be a flawless execution of the uncorked one handed diaper change crenellated with smooving my awesome mate into skiing with me again this year. By deft legerdemain, I'll point out the flying submarine as I invoke the swift, silent, cheap babysitter.

    if your feet are directly below your head and you turn around in the air, that's a spin. If your feet are off to one side and your head is off to the other side, so that a line drawn from your feet to your head would not be vertical, and then you turn around in the air, that's a corked spin.

    At least as far as I understand it

    As I've said before, my feet are very understanding. If they're not, then I'm corked, eh?

    Or you're getting corked, one of the two.
    It's idomatic, beatch.

    I'm trying to trick the band into getting back together for some runs. They know where and when.

    Hey dude here's the dealio on throwing a corked spin:

    corked means that the spin is off axis, meaning you are turning in both directions, not just vertically, but horizontilly. So, by a corked 360, I will be spinning a 360 in the horizontal realm and at the same time off the vertical axix. Not too difficult once you see it done first hand.
    still keepin' it real for the ladies!

    Do you SEE the LIGHT?!?
    The band!
    Do you SEE the LIGHT???
    What light?
    Have you SEEN the LIGHT?
    YES! YES! Jesus H. Tap Dancin' Christ! I have seen the light!
    The Band Elwood! The Band!
    The band. The band. The Band? The band!

    I repeat: how can a spin be off axis? What does that mean? Is this the new physics they teach in schools where the students color classical mechanics?

    ok, so you are spinning, but not on the horizontal axis. You are spinning in a diagonal direction. You should try it and then you'll understand. watch a vid.

    Your women. How much for your women?

    B- I'll try, multi-axis or not.

    Let's see, how many horizontal axes are there? 360? Oh gosh no, that's degrees. Infinitely many? Countably infintely many? Uncountably infintely many?

    Hold on while I turn the sarcasm up to 11.

    I'd like to see someone land a trick while spinning on a horizontal axis.

    Lincoln loop (yeah I spelled it wrong but fuck it).
    Front flip
    back flip.

    Well, that happens to me whenever I take too much vicodin before hucking my meat. All of the horizontal planes just spin like crazy, followed by a soft but unmistakable thud against my cheek. Ususally this steeze is followed by someone spilling beer on me.

    How about this so we don't offend the mathematically inclined here: A corked spin is a spin where the axis of rotation is in the yz plane, but not the z axis, in a righthand rule cartesian coordinate system where the x direction is defined in the skier's horizontal direction of travel and the z direction is defined as the direction of gravity.
