Flatspin you don't become inverted, rodeo you do and your feet go over your head at some point.

interesting because everyone responding to that thread seems to agree with the that trick guide and it comes from a very credible member, idk who you're talking to then.
That's what I'm seeing. That being said, I don't think a flat 3 (in the way that it's usually used) is reeeaaally a "flat" 3. In my opinion, "flat 3s" always look like off-axis 45 degree backflips. A "true" flat three almost seems impossible in that you can't get back on axis to land...kind of like the cork 180 debate. Flat 5s on the other hand are the real deal, and can look ver similar to rodeos depending on the grab and how close to inversion you get.
If a flatspin = spinning while "laying down", I'm definitely not seeing a flat spin here.
