I watch plenty of ski videos.  Very rarely does anybody tell you what trick they just did was.  So STFU, you troll.

Rodeo is a backflip with a twist, a misty is a front flip with a twist, and a flat spin is a kinda like a rodeo but you don't go all the way inverted, like a backflip on the y axis. Wut

misty is frontflip with spin.
rodeo is backflip with spin.
flat is rotating with your body parallel to the ground, but instead of spinning (facing the sky, then facing the ground) its more of a whole body rotation along that axis (facing the sky the whole time but your head is uphill, then downhill).


very basic explanation anyway, videos are the best way to tell

Rodeo is an inverted flatspin, d spin is an inverted cork.


D spin:





Rodeo:






Rodeo's are pretty much halfway between backflip and licoln, d spin is spinning while doing a backflip if that makes sense.
