so, a backflip with a spin under 360, will be an underflip? and anything over a rodeo?

No. There is no true backflip in a rodeo and there is no true frontflip in a misty. A rodeo is a spin with a backwards inversion, and a misty is a spin with a forwards inversion. Neither have any kind of true backflip/frontflip in them.

As for throwing rodeos, I agree it is kinda confusing. On the tramp (since you have no speed), for some reason it feels like I throw them forwards, but on snow you drop a shoulder and spin over that, kinda similar to a cork. Good luck and commit if you try one!

The first 5 he does looks more like a flat 5, last one is more rodeo. But man, those tricks are so close, they're hard to tell apart.

its backwards dude. FOR SURE! If you see a flip that looks like 1 but its forewards then its most likly an underflip. Could be a misty if your really dumb but those dont look the same at all.

the true definition of a rodeo is 90 backflip 90.... but most rodeos end up being a combination of rodeo and flatspin. but just to answer your question, its backwards.
