I've seen some conversation on corked tricks in wakeboarding before, and I don't know that we ever came to a consensus, but seeing what is getting called corked during winter X this week is a little confusing. Tricks that were getting barely off-axis were being called corked, and full on flips were being called corked. I thought about some photos of myself riding, and one came to mind where I was doing a backroll, but I never committed to the flip and I never really inverted, it look some of the flips getting tossed during big air. Basically what I'm getting at is people say you can't cork on a wakeboard, but why not? If the trick has gotten so broad, there must be a way of throwing it behind the boat, or on the cable as well.
