i have kind of looked into this, to some people corks are, some rodeos are. i think it is the way you linkin loop, if it is left (and you spin left) you like cork, but if you flip right it is rodeo, i love corks and can cork 10 but i canot rodeo anything, tramps air bags diving boards. i found right rodeos better for me then left rodeos. i have met people that can rodeo 9 and cant cork 5 or 7, and they linkin loop to the right, so i think it is that and personal preference
