It's a weird rotation, but if you get it in your mind you will have no problem. It's kinda set in between lincoln and backflip. What I think of it as is throwing my left shoulder back behind me, bringing my feet towards where my left shoulder was, and reaching for japan with my right hand. With your head look back behind you up and over your left sholder and you should come around quite nicely. Just gotta huck it, once you get the first one out of the way they are easy.

Take your right hand and try to punch the underside of your knee.

okay dont try to carve in or anything. Assuming your spin left , maybe even go off more towards the left side because you might drift the the right. I used to, a lot. To the point where i would sometimes fall right off the side lol

Anyways, what i do is pop off both feet open my left shoulder up so it is facing up and to the left. While doing this you want to bring your legs up behind you and sort of up above your head, head turned to the left and right arm going down conveniently to grab japan. once you get to probably half way through you will see the landing and you are golden, just put your feet down. that sounds like it wont work but it will.

The thing with rodeos is just setting it properly. You do that and you will come around to your feet every time. Once you get the hang of it you're golden. If you can do them on the trampoline then you will be fine off a jump. After the first couple tries it comes easily.

right hand, left knee. Vise versa if you prefer to spin the other way.

This is the video that taught me how to learn rodeo 5's. The video above is also really helpful.

when I first threw rodeos I just threw it as though I was going for a insanley flat 3 and it brought me around in a more spin then flip style (odd explanation I know but hey it work). Also the entire trick I was just thinking about looking up the landing once I landed.

this thread inspired me to try some rodeos into the airbag last weekend.  I found it to be the easiest invert!

Set it at the right angle, look for the landing, and grab japan...it just comes around like magic.  Now to sack up for the snow...
