I've been able to misty for a while, but today I was trying to learn bio, or forward corks... I got a 7, but am i crazy or do these tricks feel almost the exact same? any big differences? or maybe i just did it wrong

mistys you just throw a little more flippy and bios a little more spinny, but it's the same basic motion

Half the time after throwing a bio/misty I can't tell which one it was I just threw. Unless you're really inverted it's hard to feel much of a difference in the air.

ya there basically the same trick. a bio is not inverted, but a misty is. you throw em very similar. its the same thing how a d-spin is a cork that you go inverted on, and a cork is not inverted.

unlike everyone else i think they feel pretty different... bios feel very similar to corks only more tucket up and less laid out on your back. They are SLIGHTLY similar feeling to misty's but for me i can REALLY tell the difference when i throw them. Once you get more confident with them you will go less and less off axis and it will feel less and less like misty.

misty you have to do at least a 5 though...so bascially a frontfliip + any spin thats a 5 or higher

yea but it feels like spinning alot less than a 5, more like a 1. A misty is lots of flip with a little spin

When I bio 7 I feel like I spin right before I go inverted so I'm off axis and spinning rather than going upside down.
