What is the difference?

[PrkSkir]

Hey guys,

I am new here but I have a question to ask.

What is the difference between a Rodeo 540, Misty 540, Flatspin 540.

To me they all look relatively the same!!

Help.

 

[squibble]

honestly, does it really matter? one is backward, the other is forward, and one is harder to explain

backflip + spin = rodeo

misty + spin = misty

flatspin = spinning on your back, hard to explain.

I fell even more retarted now.

A misty is basically like a sidewards frontflip right?

i thought of the dr. dre......between me and you

 

[PrkSkir]

misty is a front flip with a spin. a misty five is a front flip 180.

rodeo is a back flip with a spin so a rodeo five is a back flip 180

flat spin is like a rodeo except you never really go inverted.

yea pretty much wat ^ that person said but only that a misty and rodeo 5 usually isn't a straight up backflip there mostly like super hard corks to do them mistys u lean forward and look back up the hill under ur armpit pretty much rodeos are pretty much like doing corks but harder and flatspins u like use the jump and pop hard then u kinda do a lincoln but like leaning back a lot and spin flatspin is hard to explain but yea that's how i do mine

rodeo is not a backflip with spin. it's more like a sideflip where you lean forward into the spin. flip right, spin left, lean your right shoulder forward

 

[landonmcg]

rodeo is a backflip with a spin. misty is where you spin over youre front shoulder and faltspin is an off axis backflip kinda

Thanks for all the help you guys!!

Now I can go try some new tricks, and maybe eat shit while doing that!

flat spin looks somewhat like you are doing a backflip diagonally, if that makes any sense at all.

i've had this argument before and when people say lincoln or backflip theyre pretty much both right because it depends on when you initiate the spin. if you're doing a back flip after you have spun half the 180 you will be doing a lincoln because of back flip axis.
