COMMIT. Doesn't really differ so much from what it feels on tramp than on snow.

Big thing with misty 5s is to get a nice solid pop, roll over that shoulder, keep looking and grab those knees. As long as you don't kick out of it, it should bring itself around. Really simple, fun trick. First invert I learned.

true.  punch the shit out of the midget after you pop real hard.  pop off your right edges is a must.

heres TJ schiller talking about em. i think it says rodeo, but i think hes teaching a misty 5. i am always super confused with trick names, but i think they might have gotten it mixed up here.....anyways this might help.

Definitely rodeo. Although the last one in that video might be a bit questionable.
