This is what always confuses me about ski trick naming. The vid Taco posted looks like a distinctly different trick than in the 2nd video.
Someone told me the other day a switch misty 5 is actually a switch rodeo. If you can have a normal misty and normal rodeo why can't you have a switch misty and switch rodeo?
Is a backflip barani the name of the forward version? If so why wouldn't throwing it switch just be called a switch backflip barani?
Either way - the tricks looks tight. I'm just trying to get a switch back on lock first.
well imo lots of trick naming is total hair splitting, for example when people say overflip, which is just a certain style of misty pretty much in my opinion (underflips are their own unique trick though)
a switch misty is not a switch rodeo-- switch rodeos are the trick tanner won all kinds of contests with back in the day, check those out for a good example of switch rodeos (7)
switch misties we see plenty, usually as a 9 or 10. every now and then as a 7, and as said, very rarely as a 5, probably just cause it's sorta weird and blind
backflip barani isnt the name of anything, that was just a portmanteau on the OP's part really. barani is what gymnasts call a misty pretty much so he's not far off, but backflips have nothing to do with baranis
the trick in question is a switch misty 5 (though people are of course free to call their variations whatever they want) and youre right, none of this naming stuff matters, it looks dope is what's important. i might try one this year.....on a tiny jump
