But, whats the difference between a rodeo and a flatspin? to me they look exactly the same but why would they have different names?

andreas calls it a rodeo 5 for one flip so 2 should be called dub rodeo 9?
he also calls it a flatspin so i assume you could call it either

I was going to say the rodeo came first because its a backflip with a 180 and people have been doing them for awhile, but now that i think about it, thats a under flip, and im now more confused then when i started

no they are not wrong, it depends how people throw them, if you end up going inverted on your kang, it would be a rodeo.  But a true kang is two flatspins.  So either way even if you go a bit inverted and its a rodeo you still can call it a kang.
