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

yeah dude..and while we're at it- fuck names !! why should we name people? everyone is just so unique and different why should we dampen their qualities with "names"...

so i'm not sure what you're saying- you think skiing isn't progressing because people are saying "cork 7" instead of "7 layed out on your back"?

and wtf does that have to do with backcountry? your 3 looks like a rodeo 7? then what is wrong with just calling it a rodeo 7...
 
On most sites if the vids don't get enough views or for whatever reason they get deleted.

It'd be awesome if they'd be up again, because I still can't tell the difference between a rodeo, d-flip, flatspin and an underflip.

I can only tell if it's in ultra-slowmo but I really can't just tell like: oh that's that...

It's hard lol :P
 
Make a new one for the newer NS members? None of the videos work for us because the links are 4+ years old. Plus I wanna see some video's of the old NSers doing some sick ass tricks, and I think that a lot of people are going to agree with me. I am right?
 
I'd be down to update this, but I dont want to spend all my time searching for example videos. If people want to start taking sections (like cork 720, provide three good example vids, try to have the video just be the lone trick and not an edit we have to skip to a certain part in), PM me with them and the links, I'll start compiling everything.

And its cool that you can do some of these tricks, but please try to send me the best example you can, not just you doing something.
 
Is there something wrong with my computer or are the videos not working? i only get a blanc page, when i try downloading the videos with downloadhelper i only get files with a few bytes.
 
this thread needs to be stickied forever so there aren't so many stupid fucking arguments over obvious tricks
 
False. The original kang was a double flat 9. Dub rodeos have been done since then, but they are harder and aren't called kang flips. Here's the classic jon olsson kangaroo flip. When he sets the flip he'll leans slightly backwards into it.

Here's an example of an actual dub rodeo. Chris Turpin did them all the time. The best example is at 1:53 or the way he sets the triple at the end. Notice it's a more agressive and forward set than a flatspin.

Also Justin Dorey does some textbook double rodeos. Here's a dub 10 at 6:32:

Rodeos and flatspins can appear similar. The grey line that separates the two would be a true lincoln loop with a spin. Nobody really does those anymore though.
 
I'm going to probably get hated on for saying this, but as far as I can see there is absolutely no point in differentiating between rodeos and flatspins. They are thrown so similarly and the line between them is so grey there are really no definite differences. Everyone has their own definition, and I think that there would be a lot less pointless fucking arguments on NS and YouTube if people either ended the use of one of the terms or people just agreed that they are the same fucking thing. /rant
 
I love how double flips have just made the rodeo/under flip/flatspin more inconsequential over the years. Also, whatever happened to the d-spin and its rarer counterpart, the forward thrown rotation, called the...?
 
ok here it clearly says rodeos go completely upside down. and i thought this guide was what most people considered correct so how is it everyone's calling slightly more tilted flatspins a different name? it seems what everyone calls a rodeo is what this calls a flat, corks and dspins are considered the same thing but rodeos in this are what we call dspins.
 
That's because d-spins have been distorted over the years, they are basically just a cork where you go a little upside down. The other problem now is with wackflips, everyone calls them flat threes and they aren't. Also the definition of rodeo has changed slightly because they can be thrown a little more flat than straight upside down and still be a rodeo as long as you do go inverted.
