Rodeo 540 tips

some people say that a rodeo 5 is completely different on a trampoline. i think that there is no difference whatsoever. when i do it, i put both hands on one side of my body and i basically follow my hands with my flip. surprisingly i think its easier to throw a little safety grab in there because it helps you commit to the flip, unless it's a bow and arrow or something, then it gets a little weird. but whatever you do, make sure that you commit
 
ive tried a few rodeo 5's but i have yet to land them due to under/overroatation. committing is the hardest part, just ski down the in run and think about the rotation, not the landing. you will fall your first few times and thats ok, as long as the landing isnt ice it shouldnt hurt. You wont land on your head if its thrown properly. good luck bro!
 
Biggest thing for me is to make sure if you are spinning left, coming off the jump pull up your left knee and push off the jump with your right leg, this sets a good rotation for me. Same concept with flat 3s
 
I wasnt able to try it because it snowed so much that day that the park was unbelievably slow. We couldnt even straight air without knuckling. So tomorrow hopefully its faster (were expecting 5-10cm though). If it is ill try it and let you know how it goes!
 
I can do them on tramp.

I can do them on ramps.

I don't want to throw it on a gayass small jump.

I don't want to die on a huge jump.

I am to big of a pussy to try it on snow.

 
not trying to get all technical on you but a flatspin is when your body is parallel to the ground whereas a rodeo is more inverted. kind of along the lines of a bio vs misty, which are basically the same thing
 
A high-spinning rodeo and a high spinning bio are pretty much the same thing. Personally, I don't really feel there is too much of a difference between a flat 5 and a rodeo 5, only that one is a bit less flippy than the other
 
Pretty much nailed it on this explanation, some people throw their rodeos very flat some throw them very flippy but there is no such thing as a flippy flat spin
 
Yea that's how I learned em. Work on those off-axis backflips and then throw in the extra 180 when you're more comfortable. I practiced the progression on a tramp as well. Here's the first one I ever landed:

exactly the same here. I can do rodeo 7s off of diving boards, and huge tweaked japans off of them, but im a pussy when it comes to snow
