learn sideflips and backflips.
slowly keep doing sideflips but look over your shoulder a little bit. eventually they should feel somewhat floaty and more inverted than a regular sideflip. basically you'll know it's different when your head remains tilted over your shoulder the whole flip rather than tucked into your knees like you do with a normal sideflip.
once you can do that, try inverting more and more. to this day the only way i can do a real rodeo 5 and get the whole 540 spin around is to grab trailing japan haha

He asked what they are and how to set for them, I explained it as best I could and how I was told to do them/what is commonly believed to be true, to set like a more inverted flatspin or turn 90 degrees flip backward and turn 90 as was shown in the picture above.
Hahahaha, What seems to be the problem here? I answered his question, so what is wrong Jennifer?

technically that is correct except that is a horrible way of explaining how to throw a rodeo.
basically thrust your hips forward and open them up to the side that you want to spin to, so say you want to spin left, you should feel like your right hip is in front of your left hip. and open your shoulders up to the sky. then tuck and look over your left shoulder and it'll come around.
(most coaches will tell you to keep your head square, but i find that looking over my shoulder while keeping my tuck helps it come around more easily and erases any feeling of being blind in the air.)

Be careful when using this photo. You should be controlling your flips during your pop by using your flips, trying to set a flip with your hands like this photo shows can lead to you landing on your head.
When doing a rodeo you should be thrusting your hips forward like a backflip but rotate then to one side while doing that to initiate the spin.

I'll fucking tell you why, because they are different tricks. There are VERY few people who throw them so that they are close enough to warrant a "Well which was that" response. If someone asks how to throw a rodeo and you tell them to throw a flatspin but LESS inverted that is fucking stupid

There's no use trying to get through to these kids because they don't know how to do the tricks themselves or they do but they're too simple to teach it to others. Notice how many comments are void of the fact that a flatspin requires a much different motion than throwing a rodeo. That's like telling someone to make an apple pie but you only give them a recipe to make rhubarb pie and the instructions, "To make an apple pie is like a rhubarb, but its more inverted".
And they defend this terrible logic by saying stupid crap like, "hey, I throw tricks for me, MAN, no one else". Or the popular, "its FREEskiing man, not aerials".
No, its the foundation of what makes freeskiing an sport but you cannot convince high/middle schoolers of that because they know everything... of course.

exactly the point im making by asking him why he gets so worked up. he is correct in what he's saying, they are two different tricks. however i find it hysterical how angry he gets, thus i push the buttons that need to be pushed in hopes that he'll give up freaking out at people.
JWoods for president! first plan in office: incarcerate every person who calls a rodeo a flatspin, and vice versa!
