A Trick Guide 2: The difference between bio, cork, d-spin, misty, rodeo, flatspin and underflip

This is some good shit. However I really wouldnt see the difference in some of them if I wasnt watching it in slow mo. I guess a judge would probably see it more precisely.
 
you made my week, good job. I have a question you say that corked is leaned back but those dudes are leaning forward and pushing off the jump downward can someone help me out here?
 
When I say 'leaned back' I mean the head-foot axis relative to the motion. Which video in particular is this evident?
 
for me i already learned rodeos and mistys so my problem was not spinning. I found that spotting at something directly in front of you helps. You just have to jump, lean over the same shoulder that you begin kartwheels with, spot out and as long as you commit it will come around
 
are the names the same for snowboarding? i was wondering this because a friend who snowboards kept saying that a cork involved your board going over your head.
 
Kinda? Snowboarding tricks follow the same basic guidelines since the sports evolved sorta side by side, usually with snowboarders leading the way... I dunno, I havent had a snowboarder say one way or another, so for now, NSFS (not safe for snowboarders).
 
sweet guide. Yeah I know this is a nub question but is it actually possible to do a 360 or whatever without it being called a "cork" or anything else? Is "a 360" an official trick?
 
As previously stated, with corks, d-spins, misties, rodeo's and flatspins, the inversion is counted as part of the overall rotation. For some reason, which really causes me to dislike the underflip label, it breaks down and no longer applies with underflips and overflips, as you simply disregaurd the rotation. Confusing, I know, which is why I would love to phase out the terms, or at least get them to agree with the rest of the system.
 
Is there a rail terms one? I don't understand most of the terms for slides except pretzels.

With us having access to this, NS could really use a rails one.
 
pick a point on the horison like a treetop and throw your body sidways but keep looking at that same point and you watch it go all the way around and then spot yer landing. dont try grabs at first, because when you bend your body to grab it will really fuck with the rotation the biggest problem people have is that they dont keep their body facing forwards, they try to look at thier landing too soon, and they end up spinning a little. I bet thats what u are doing
 
i'm so stoked about that second flatspin 720 example. i was there! i dropped in right before that dude (steve shelby) not to claim for him or anything but those were his first and second attempts.
 
wouldnt your example of the "bio" 10 be false because the skier is droping switch.......therefore it is a "cork" not a bio
 
Except that a switch rodeo 7 is thrown exactly like a misty, hands go to your toes. When it comes to switch tricks, the general consensus is that you keep the rotational dynamic the same, regardless of the riders stance. Thus, its a bio rotation, even though he starts switch and throws it like a cork would be set going forwards.
 
posting just to get this in my threads. good reference for explaining this to people. very well done. my thanks indeed.
