Double Cork

Skateboarding trick

About

The Double Cork is a highly complex and visually stunning skateboarding trick. It involves performing a double backflip or off-axis spin, where the rider rotates twice while airborne. This trick requires immense skill, precision, and control to execute successfully. It is often compared to similar maneuvers in other action sports, such as snowboarding, where the double cork is a well-established trick. In skateboarding, the Double Cork was first achieved by Trevor Jacob in 2012, marking a significant milestone in the sport's progression. The trick demands a combination of speed, timing, and spatial awareness to manage the rotation and landing safely. Despite its challenging nature, the Double Cork has inspired many skaters to push the boundaries of what is possible on a skateboard, showcasing the sport's evolving creativity and athleticism.
