Has anyone here seen or done one on snow? I saw a kid do one on a water ramp, it looked kinda sketch and sick at the same time, like he was going for Flat 5 but came out early enough that he didn't need the extra 180.

they are done with fair regularity. liam downey does them a good bit, and dylan hood did a massive one in high five for the first shot of his segment

Meh, I dont know about a flat 3.... cork 3's are almost the same, but I could see a difference I guess. It would be very hard to tell one from the other though, especially when they're done on different style jumps. I think I would just toss them all into one bucket and call it a 'cork 3' if I saw a few.

Flat 3s were all the rage before cork 3s. Then Tanner did the best one that will ever be done, and that kind of put an end to it.

think about throwing a rodeo 5 minus 180. same sort of rotation. though your skis on a flat spin are supposed to make a "halo" around you and on a rodeo you are just rotating through the flip. That is the subtle difference in the two rotations. whatch the LSS trailor and the flat 450 to rail. just imagine him landing at 360 and you will get it.

I've seen Downey do them but they look more like lincolns and they're always off hips. Has anyone seen one off a table?

Pretty much, that's the idea of a perfect flat but they're rarely like that.

you are a dumbass and for people who think you can cork 180... you cant. go and try one of a building please. when you try to cork you will be corked and not be able to come out of the roll....

ok flat 3s are easy on a hip but who can acutally do them off of a jump. like a real flat spin 3...... ben grunow has done the only one ive ever seen. legit.

a flat 3 is like a sideways backflip, so most people cant get their feet back on the ground off of a jump but maybe on a hip because of the angle of landing.
