Practicing rodeo 5 into foam pit. Found TJ's old trick tip vid to be very helpful:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVxul3gAGTsI just need to flatten it out more by sending my shoulder a little more up.
^ Not a misty. For me mistys feel completely different. I think you can either start from an off axis back and work flatter like Andreas or you can throw your self into the lawn chair position and rotate out of it like TJ. They look a little different, but the same thing is basically happening. I just need to not send my shoulder down so much which makes me come over the top more. Whenever I think about it like an off axis back flip, it screws me up.
definitely cool, but i don't think its quite a rodeo. I would agree with the overflip analysis, its super hard to set rodeo/flat with forward momentum like that off a tramp.
I get what you guys are saying. I'll keep working on it. Mistys I learned to set by "punching the midget". I can easily take that to a 9 in the pit. This feels more like a 90 to slightly off axis backflip to 90. I'm taking it forward instead of across like I have seen other rodeos done. Whatever it is, it is definitely a new trick for me. I think it will look pretty sick if I can keep it more level.
see how u drop your shoulder forwards? It cant be a rodeo if you drop forwards. And just look at the flip. It doesn't look at all like a rodeo. It looks exactly like a misty or an overflip which is basically a more inverted misty.You may not be meaning to punch the midget but if you pause it at around 5 seconds. It looks like you are.
hey man as i was watching this when u rodeo your head should be on the right of the rest of ur body when in the air, that is an indication if u actually did a rodeo. do this next time jump then just drop ur left shoulder back, dont worry about the tackle just do the second part, throw left shoulder back and like sit in a chair. When u try this ^ post another vid i will tell u, or actually next time im on the diving board i will post a vid of what it looks like
