How do you tell the rotation on a rodeo and misty??

Is a misty 540 a frontflip with a 540 rotation?
and is a rodeo 540 a backflip with a 540 rotation?

too bad's the links don't work.

I know their frontflip/backflip with rotations.. i just don't know either a misty 540 is a frontflip 180 or a frontflip 540.

backflip 540: 1.5 full (Rudy)
Frontflip 540: front 1.5 full (Front Rudy)

These are aerials maneuvers; straight backwards/front, completely upside down.

misty, on the other hand, is almost like you are rolling on your back over something (rolling over a table...), so you never go completely upside down. it is misty 5 because you spin a 540, not 360 flip plus 180 spin (which would be a branny[front 180] or a flare [backflip 180]).

rodeo is a similar concept, like you are rolling over something behind you.

the complication arises when bobby brown's thing is called a switch double misty 1440. its 2 frontflips and a 1440 spin but for some reason they dont call it a switch double misty 1800. very confusing.
