Rodeos and Mistys.

How do you tell the rotation on a rodeo and misty??
Is a misty 540 a frontflip with a 540 rotation?and is a rodeo 540 a backflip with a 540 rotation?

too bad's the links don't work.
I know their frontflip/backflip with rotations.. i just don't know either a misty 540 is a frontflip 180 or a frontflip 540.

misty 5 is frintflip with a 180

rodeo 5 iss a backflip with a 180... kinda

 

[Milkduds]

oh.. why is it called a misty 5 if you're only spinning 180..? whatever thanks! +K!

 

[Mr.Turtle]

360 vertical rotation+ 180 horizontal rotation=540 i believe

 

[Milkduds]

Now that makes sense.. thanks! +Klet this thread die.

backflip 540: 1.5 full (Rudy)

Frontflip 540: front 1.5 full (Front Rudy)

These are aerials maneuvers; straight backwards/front, completely upside down.

misty, on the other hand, is almost like you are rolling on your back over something (rolling over a table...), so you never go completely upside down. it is misty 5 because you spin a 540, not 360 flip plus 180 spin (which would be a branny[front 180] or a flare [backflip 180]).

rodeo is a similar concept, like you are rolling over something behind you.

mmhmm, if you could do both you can tell the difference. And its a big difference

Misty 5 and front 1 look way different, front 1 looks arials kinda

the complication arises when bobby brown's thing is called a switch double misty 1440. its 2 frontflips and a 1440 spin but for some reason they dont call it a switch double misty 1800. very confusing.
