Is this a flat spin or Lincoln?

I’ve been throwing what I think is a flat spin for awhile now but some random kid at the mountain told me it looked like a Lincoln but idk. Here are a few clips.

Also thinking about adding an extra 180 at the end for a flat/rodeo 5 is this set good for that?
 
You get pretty inverted for it to be a flat spin in my opinion. But yeah maybe off a steeper lip. Idk six in one hand, half dozen in the other

true but my first thought was hes pretty flat for a lincoln. I think it could go either way
 
To me they both look like Lincoln loops especially since u don’t spin in either and in flat spins your hips shouldn’t go above your head really.
 
Nah those are both flat three’s, even tho your feet go over head cause of the rotation and Japan grab. Your hips are inline with your torso and head. That second one was pretty textbook (probably because I like forward set flat/rodeo 3 instead of backwards set)
 
They are flat 3, but first clip was set too sideways and not enough flip

heres a classic flat 3 for example

Yeah I suppose in a true Lincoln he would be pretty much feet directly over head at one point in the rotation. In my opinion a true flat spin means your feet don’t get drastically over your head at all, but in my experience flat spins really originated in vert skating so idk what people call a flat spin vs Lincoln off a step down. ?‍♂️
 
Your feet are going over your head, so it's not a flatspin. Kinda a rodeo-ish lincoln.

Insert debate on what is a flatspin / rodeo / etc
