first rodeo 540, help

ya thats not a rodeo man you set it back meaning its a flat 5. a rodeo you have a more horizontal set than a flat spin and you can spot everything in a rodeo. but its sick man. your flat spin is just really flat so its sooooo close to a rodeo but its not

all right. cool though. thanks man!

there the same trick.. that was it. tight

Trow it on a real jump... that's not the best spot to learn rodeo 5. You had the trick tho keep it up.

yeah rodeo 5=flat 5. just different terms. nice trick though!

your just throwin in a little to much like a lincoln.. just throw it more to the side. keep at it. nice work.

that wasnt a flat 5, his head was a bit under his skis. nor was it a rodeo, beacuse he wasnt really inverted enough to call it that either. it was something in between. dont listen to the first poster, but heres some tips.

****) watch your video in like "stop-start" mode, aka: click to pause and play a bunch so its like slo-mo, and youll notice the following:

1) you set your rotation before you popped, but thats normal when your learning, just commit a bit more. remember, its pop-set-stomp

2) when you set your rotation, it looked like you were a bit back seat, thats from presetting before the pop, which will fuck you so dont do that

3) it also looks, form your set, like your leading your rotation with the shoulder/neck. this isnt good, and will cause some neck pain after doing that all day. you want to set your rotation with your hips, shoulders and neck, but hips are so clutch

so for a sucessful left rodeo 5: pop, right away set with your hips, with the right hip going up and towards the left. when you set this way youll be moving forward vs setting with your shoulders and causing backward momentum. at about the same time as u do that, youll keep same angle you moved your right hip with going, and drop your left shoulder back to to the right. so your hip/shoulder will be making like an off-axis circle if that makes sense. helps too if you kick your right ski up to carry the momentum through and around to follow your shoudler. you can also dip your right shoulder and grab japan, itll come very natural with this rotation. do those and youll stomp it. i would also recommend a bigger jump, and not a hip. i learned them on like a 30fter, u just HAVE to commit to the pop, then set. if u preset your rotation youll knuckle or even deck which would fuckin blo so dont do that. if you can backflip just like pop set one of those, then just pop and set rodeo. now go stomp that shit

cool, thanks all of you!

I will go for an other trip in 2 weeks, where I will throw it on a real jump and try do it with your advices

First a bigger jump and instead of underflip set it back more and kick you feet out from under u and you got it

mattskie knows how flatspin and rodeo works, finally someone who understand. and yeah don't listen to the first poster, just listen to mattskie. your trick was more like a lincoln 180.
