English term or phrase: cork
Dear all,

What is "Cork" in skiing?

Contexts:
"I have to test the kickers with a Cork 720 or something, just to see what’s possible on the kickers"
Also the commentator says "commenting on one of the skiers' performance:
"Switch Cork 900"
"double cork 10 mute"
"Switch doublw cork 10 mute"

I would be so grateful if there is a glossary for Skiing terms, or any guide.

Thanks a lot.

It makes sense, but again add the English name to make things clear.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Then if the rider test the kicker with a cork 720, it means بشقلبة جانبية تنطوي على دورانين كاملين؟ Can we say that? You see, the phrasing is difficult even when you get the meaning.

Asker: or شقلبة جانبية بزاوية دوران 720 درجة ? Does that make sense? Thanks.
