my friend and i are arguing about what a rodeo 540 is
he believes that the flip counts as 360 of the spin and you actually only do a 180. he thinks its a lincoln loop 180?
i think a rodeo is a backflip with a 540 right?

His ankles never go above his head so it is neither flip. It's a whole genre to it's own.

Let's settle this.  The name of trick is the addition of all rotation involved.  So, for example, a misty is a front flip with a 180, thus it is a 540 degree spin.  So a Misty 7 is when the rider is doing a front flip (360 degrees) with a 360 degree lateral spin, hence the 720.  So when someone says a kangaroo 900, they are meaning a double lincoln (two vertical 360s) with a 180.

As for definition of trick base, they are as follows:

Rodeo: Lincoln with lateral spin.  Misty: Front flip with lateral spin.  Flare: Backflip with a 180.  D-Spin: back flip with at least a 360. Flatspin: off-axis rodeo in which the rider never inverts.  Bio: Forward pitch flatspin.  Cork: opposite of bio. 

Anyone who is in the know, feel free to add.  But if you are speculating on an argument, don't post something as fact.  I am pretty confident of the accuracy of the above definitions, but am humble enough to confess that it is definitely possible for someone to correct me.  Enjoy!
