a back flip 180. now i would have thought this would just be called a rodeo (not "rodeo 180" where as if it were a 720 spin, it would be a rodeo 720), seeing as how its a spin with a back flip. thats the way i always precieved it...discuss
 
stop being a negative nancy, if your gonna point out spelling errors, then go to some nerd website.
 
1.Is it just a backflip with a 180 right after the backflip?

Or

2. Is it a backflip with a spin occurring at the same time as the flip?

If these are what you are talking about...

1. It's a backflip 180. Plain and simple as long as its not in the pipe. In the pipe it's a flair.

2. It would probably look something like a d-spin.
 
I've always called it a flare, but i've also heard the argument that that's only in the pipe. So i'm gonna say Underflip.

Unless it's a stalled 180, it which case it's just a Backflip 180.
 
I've always classed an underflip as a 90 lincoln loop 90... but i guess a backflip 180 is kinda different but the same. hard to say
 
Used to be called a rodeo 5 back in the day of Szocs and Auclair. Some people might call it a flat 5, though those, when people first started doing them, were different. As for the Underflip, it is a little bit different rotation. It's almost like a 180 to Front flip, or a cross between a back 180 and lincoln 180. Now people have mixed up trick names so much, you'll get a lot of answers. If I saw it, I'd probably call it a back 180, or maybe a rodeo if it was a bit off axis. Mostly though, I probably wouldn't care what it was called and just be stoked people were killing it...
 
its basically either a flair or underflip depending on your own personal opinion - but like four few years ago this guy was doing them at my mountain and called them riddler's - so i like to call them that
