Loads of searchbar stuff, but fuck it.

Cork: spin with axis tilted back, i.e. head back uphill

Lincoln: basically a cartwheel- same as a sideflip

D-Spin: backflip with rotation

flatspin: Backflip but axis vertical perpendicular to body rather than horizontal

Bio: opposite to cork- head pointing downhill

Rodeo is a kinda mix between a flatspin and a lincoln. Probs best thought of as an off axis lincoln late 180

underflip: 90degree spin-> lincoln-> 90degree spin.

overflip: opposite

but really it doesnt matter that much cus no matter what you do unless its pretty much a regular spin people are gonna call it different things

Actually a flat 5 is an uninverted rodeo 5, which is a offaxis lincoln with a 180. Nothing to do with a back flip.

how can it be a flatspin and be fully inverted?!

but yeah there are sooo many threads on this. just try searching for the tricks name. or do it the old fashioned way. the likelyhood is everyone will disagree with everyone on though.

a rodeo could just be explained as a five rotated over your left shoulder (if you spin left side natural) and a misty would be a five rotated over your right shoulder
