its a spin where you stay on a flat plain you more or less do a rodeo with out goin inverted ... thats a really crued way to explain it


but to do one come at the jump and throw your shoulder forward as if you were checking someone in hockey and let your feet come around your body and drop back down under neith you to land switch

imagine flipping a turtle on it's back and spinning it around. that's your flatspin

to throw one, you need to throw your shoulder out and across in the direction you are spinning. it's hard to explain

I always kinda thought of it as a misty without completely throwing your legs over your head...
Your spin kinda goes off axis and you momentarily spin on a sideways axis before your feet complete the spin and fall back underneath you.

There is a flatspin, not the best one, but it is a sequence so you can kind of see it.

Throw it kinda like a lincoln, except throw your shoulder downhill instead of under you and set your rotation harder than you throw your shoulder down the hill (if that made any sense). at 180 you should be just about flat on your back, then at 270 you will be perpendicular to the ground and kinda on your side. That's when you spot you landing if you are doing a flat 5. Bring it around to 360, then keep looking at your landing and let your feet come back under you. If you send your shoulder down the hill too hard your feet will come over your head. that's what happened to me when I started trying them. If you don't throw you shoulder hard enough then you will kinda do a bio which will still be cool. Try them in powder first. And if you do your 5's by landing them looking at the ground by your tips instead of behind you, you will probably not be able to get flat 5's because it's harder to come out of being flat.

It's not an opff-axis backflip at all. It's an univerted rodeo.

It's a spin where your body is flat hence the name flat spin.

Um its not a spin, that would be a cork. A spin on yoiur side is a cork, a flatspin is a flip, just lik a rodeo is more of a flip and just like a lincoln is a flip. a flat is a sideways backflip.

Here gores my best picture. Imagine that the skier is wearing a rag. The rag points staight down the whole time and becomes the axis of rotation. Kinda of odd but it helps you visualise it.

the homer simpson explination was perfect. if your hips are somewhat parallel with the ground its a flatspin.
