nah.. it was a flatspin y'all.. rodeo you flip forwarddropping your right shoulder and kind of just roll over it.. flatspin is between a lincoln and a backflip.. that was just not suuper flat and was kinda inverted still..

thats what i thought, but you could argue for days, cuz there really isn't a straight definition for all the inverts.

wow too many people on this site have no idea what spins are what.


its deff not a rodeo. a rodeo you spin like this:


i agree with alexg, kinda looks like a flat 3 to 180. i guess kinda like a flat 5 but its just thrown weird.




at 2:55 tj does a rodeo. your feet dont go directly over your head during a rodeo like you did, thats why i think its a flat spin.

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

If you don't know read this and watch the videos

ahhh i got mine straight from the ASK TURPIN cult, so it looks like we have two diff guides disagreeing. everyone ive talked to in person has agreed that rodeo is what i said it is, and in the video that i posted TJ does a rodeo, not a flat, so im pretty sure im right...

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.

i thought that flastspin was what TJ did at 2:55. When your body is parallel to the ground. TJ just brought his body to his grab. Rodeo is just looks a lincon thrown backward with spins (i was told, and thats what it looks like). Over and under flips are just lincons but when skis are perpendicular to the fall line. not lincon b/c it is not a side flip.

Just first looking at it it looks like a kinda backflip then 180 at the end, he just kinda is to the side a tiny bit.

But that could also be considered a weak rodeo...

^^^^all theory....yell at me if you will, not even sure, just what i have been told.

  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.

IF ANYONE THINK'S THIS IS NOT A RODEO, THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FREESTYLE SKIING AND SHOULD PROCEED TO GET THE FUCK OFF OF NS. ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE THAT THINK A RODEO IS THROWN FORWARD!

sorry...but dont be stupid.

thats why im wondering what it is now, because chris turpin in the ASK TURPIN cult specifically talked about this in a thread labeled somthin like rodeo vs flatspin, and more than one video was posted with that same answer.


i guess even pro's disagree...unless one or the other just messed up?

dont be stupid? he posted multiple times in a thread about the two spins about how that was a rodeo and not a flatspin...unless he comes back and says he typed something wrong multiple times or other pros say hes wrong, im gonna stick with his PROFESSIONAL opinion

you may stick with his professional opinion, but its still going to be wrong. a rodeo is a backflip with a spin, and thats exactly whats shown in this kids video.

it is a rodeo. however it does seem like a flatspin because you tilted your head therefore making it look like you didn't go over your head. But your feet are pretty well above your head. Most people get mixed up between flat and rodeo's now a days, but in all honesty a flat spin looks more off axis where as a rodeo looks like a flip. Justin Dorey does pretty good flat spins, also cosco does a sick one in the new Jiberish edit "Chapter 2"

Are you guys kidding me?  Rodeos go backward, Misty's forward, and flatspins ARE NOT INVERTED!!!!  That's why they are flat....  I didn't even realize this was such a common misconception.  Here's a great guide.  Read it.

Since when were rodeos and flatspins foreward? Mistys are thrown foreward, flatspins and rodeos are backwards.
