All my friends say it's a rodeo but I say it looks an awful lot like a misty. It's at 0:54

No.

See how he leans forward? But he doesn't keep leaning forward. Watch it very slowly. After leaning forward, he does not let his head follow forward. His head twists back to turn it into a rodeo. Watch it in very slo-mo, you will notice how he does not continue forward. After going a little forward, he throws it back. It is not a forward flip at all.

99% sure it's a misty. Misty = front flip with rotation, Rodeo = lincoln with rotation (more or less)

And you have to be blind to think this is a front flip with rotation. Watch it slowly. As he moves forward, he curls his head in. His heels do NOT go over his head. As he pushes forward like a misty, he curls his head back, and he starts a back rotation. This is a REALLy funky rodeo. But watch Tom Wallisch's rodeos. He sort of goes forward first, then goes back. This guy just goes far forward before rotating back. But he obviously does not flip forward if you watch it slowly.

its a rodeo, you just wedged your skis on the lip so if clean up the take off it'll be a dirty rodeo.

^ He obviously leans forward. In a misty you don't go COMPLETELY inverted, only close, which is what he did. rodeos are a golf-swing motion, the trick in question was the complete opposite. he took off forward.

At the end of the day so many tricks are the same thing just with the head looking elsewhere or the axis being slightly different, for example an underflip is really just a super duper corked 5.  Its a sick trick whatever, doesn't need a debate, naming it won't change a thing

Pretty much.  Grabs get so tweaked as well that it's tough to base it off...the skis? or the skier?  or his head?  Funny thing is kids are so damn concerned about the nomenclature when they can barely do shit on skis anyways.
