A rodeo is a semi-cork that you spin to the right.
A misty is a side-flip but more on-axis.

A cork is an off-axis 1080 but you lands backwards.

A flatspin is just a backflip but more laid-out.

A bio is a switch double backflip.

LOLZZZZZ

I try and think of it like a compass.

North=Front Flip
South=Back Flip
East and West=Lincoln Loop (west being left loop, east being right loop)

(The next set assumes left sided spin, if right sided spin, reverse it)
North-West=Misty
North-East=Bio
South-West=Cork
South East=Rodeo/Flatspin

The diference between rodeo and flatspin is how inverted you go, a flatspin is essentially a rodeo that never gets upside down, it spins on a completely sideways, or "flat" axis.

rodeo - your feet move up to hip level and rotate around your butt in a circle
misty - frontflip with spins
cork - you lean back into a laying down position then spin like a pencil, eventually coming out of the cork WITHOUT completing the backflip
flat - a backflip in which you look over one shoulder... when you watch a backflip from behind the feet move in a line like an l .... in flats your feet move like a / or \.

Bio is like a cork-like spin just forwards..

misty is like a frontflip 540, but its still not, its just like
throw yourself forwards throwing for instance your right shoulder down to your left knee, making a flip like motion with some spin, real easy.

Cork is a spin that you lean backwards.....

flatspin, i cant explain..

flatspin is an off axis backflip. If you want you can spin afterwards. Rodeo is lkike a backwards misty.

maybe i'm wrong but aren't rodeo and flat switched on your diagram? your feet go higher in a flatspin than a rodeo don't they?

Nope.

Theyre essentially the same trick, but the rodeo is set such that your feet go over your shoulder, where a flat almost rotates your feet around your hip.

NO NO NO NO NO Why does everyone suck at describing flat spins.If your feet go over your head that is called a backflip, if you are off axis and they go over your head that is called a wackflip. Flat spins are like you are flat on the ground and SPINNING there is no fucking flip in there

They are if you make your rodeo really flat, at some point there is a grey area where it coud be either but some people do their rodeos really flippy and not like flats at all
