Is a flat spin pretty much geting really corked and inverted?

no, it's thrown more like a rodeo except instead of being inverted your feet are level with your head - see Mike Wilson or Crighton for the sickest flat 5 criticals
 
lots of people do flatspins that are really good^.

if you have the movie propaganda, pollard does a gigantic one and its pretty easy to slow down and figure it out
 
its just a laid out cork where you like do part of a front/backflip parellel to the ground for part of it. watch yearbook theres a pefect example of tanner hall doing one
 
ya its like doing a fromt flip on your side, by the way - does anyone ever do down the pipe flatspins? instead of alley-oop?
 
dude...I bet someone has, but flatspin down the pipe would be illin...that is if it looks like I think it does...in my head
 
Andy Mahre does the illest flatspins ever. Watch The Hit List.

And I don't know if that is a flatspin james, he is pretty fuckin close to being inverted. depends on whether you judge an invert by the feet being over the head, or the waist being over the head.
 
a flatspin is pretty much a backflip but instead of flippping with your body perpindicular to the ground its parallel and then you spin more after that but at the peak u should pretty much be flipping parallel to the ground
 
Thomas Rinfret does normal (non-alley-oop) flatspins in the pipe. Never really figured that one out.

Anyway, I'm getting used to answering these questions by just saying, search the video section! There's a lot of good examples to check out. Very basically, a flatspin is supposedly the opposite of a cork- the head leads the spin instead of the feet. In other words, at 180 you're flat on your back staring at the sky, head downhill, whereas in a cork at 180 you're staring at the ground, feet downhill.
 
a flatspin- is a flatspin- spinning while flat, so imagine an uninverted rodeo, it gives you a flatspin
