no its not, a bio is like a cork but to the front. a rock bottom is like a d-spin to the front, so it flips over. aint no d-spin. CR used to do Rock Bottoms like 4 years ago. That and Bio's!!!

No they're different. A rock bottom is a dspin opening up o the front. If you were throwing a misty you'd throw your shoulder down. In the rock bottom he just opens spinning like dspin but w/ his head still facing downhill, and then you come out it w/ sort of a front flipping thing. It's not a misty. I remember seeing them in The Realm, and either ski movie 2 or subject to change, i think it's ski movie 2.

aoe - We do. That's why there's so much arguing over rodeo vs. flatspin, corked vs. d-spin, and misty vs. bio. I'm waiting for it to get as ridiculous as:

"Dude! Nice cork 9!"
"Nah! He coughed in the middle of the spin, it was an upchuck 900."

Grav has got it. Basically, it's a front-full. It doesn't start off-axis like a misty. Check out Evan Raps segment in The Game. There's a textbook one in it that he does in a competition.

Okay, please take mckeeman's and my word for this, I don't know what the rest of you are saying.

First, JF's trick is a flat 9, not a rockbottom.

And second, a rockbottom is basically an inverted bio, CR does one in a ski movie (I forget which)... the shot shows two tables. On the first table he does a d-spin, and the second is a rockbottom 7.

Like I said, basically an inverted bio. Think 180-backflip-180. That's rockbottom.

CR used to do them. JF does them in 13 and one in 'The Game' i believe too. No its not some new trick invented its been around much longer than most of the tricks your doing now.
