True Flat 7

I have never actually seen a true flat 7. I don't mean a Flat 3 with an extra 360 at the end or a Flat 5 with an extra 1. Anyone have any videos of an actual Flat 7, with all the 720 actually integrated into the full off-axis trick?

pretty sure a flat 3 with an extra 3 or a flat 5 with an extra one is by definition a flat 7

a flatspin as you're describing it would be a double flat spin.....

i don't see how it can actually be done
the flat itself is pretty much a 3 so even the 5 is stretching it

I've definitely seen it just don't remember where. Essentially a flat 5 with another 180 whipped around at the end.

What your asking for is a cork/bio seven.
A flatspin is just a "reverse" cork, the spin/flip happen in the reverse order (if you don't get what I mean, a flatspin initiates with a flipping rotation and ends in a spin to truely get back on axis, and a cork starts with spinning and ends with a "cork 3" or a "cork 5" flip/rotation to get back on axis.) so if you spin all the way through a "flatspin" you just wind up with a cork/bio seven depending on how you throw it.
That is my understanding of the tricks, feel free to correct/comment, I'm not trying to start a shit storm here.

a bio is a reverse cork
a flat is different

when I said "reverse" I just meant the order of the spin/"flip", not the direction the trick is thrown. I know the difference between a bio and a cork, sorry if my word choice was confusing!

Pep Fujas does a FLOSSY one in an old BC edit on a kind of stepup jump. I can't find it though :(

anxiously awaiting the day when skiing finally realizes "flat spin" doesnt need to exist. its a back flip,loop or rodeo. you dont need a name for a trick if its 10 degrees of difference on its axis.

a bio can actually be set in a way very similar to flats by driving your outside hip up to set the spin, you essentially do a 180 set forward, and drive your hip up at 180...bit hard to explain.

corks are really similar too actually.the initial take off is essentially the same as a flat, but in a cork you spin a 360 before you reach your apex. In a flat you only spin about 180-270. Try setting for a flat but spin a 360 before your apex sometime, and you'll see what i mean, you'll do a cork.

Well one might argue to do a rodeo your feet must go above your head, which in Steve's trick he feet never go above his head. But I mean any rodeo past 7 this happens and it turns into more of a bio with more rotation. In the end, doesn't matter.

There is a need as they are a legit trick in the pipe, no? A true flatspin (to me at least) would be riding up the wall of the pipe and then rotating with your back parallel to the deck, thrown like a lincoln if the wall was a jump.

Yah I am a much bigger fan of how snowboarding refers to their tricks. Unless it is a straight up rodeo its just cork.

all the same shit basically. Misty could be an exception.

The suttle differences between cork, d spin and bio is just frustrating for me. I do know and totally understand the differences I just dont think they are big enough to justify naming it something new.

I like having the difference between rodeo and and flat even though the boundary is close because when you learn tricks, it's important to evaluate the angle of a flat spin and a rodeo. To me, a rodeo is way more off axis than a flat spin. When I go for a rodeo, I am more like "go for a backflip and twist your shoulder a little". On a flat, even the way you pop is different. To me, flat=smooth.

Cork and bio are directly opposite. Nobody really calls anything a d spin anymore either.

Ski rodeos are backside rodeos and ski mistys would be a front side rodeo. A d-spin would just be a backflip with whatever amount of rotation. Snowboarding is much simpler.

Well, if rodeo = flatspin, then a rodeo is also a bio, because when you do flat 10 its basically the same as bio 10, which makes it a rodeo 10... Nowhere near a cork 10.

cork can be the same as d spin

bio can be the same as flatspin (or rodeo for you 'Muricans)

The process of throwing the trick is different. Wise to name it differently.

i think the reason the d spin got popular in bumps is because back in the day inverts were not allowed. The rule was defined as "your feet cannot go directly over your head" ... so the d -spin came about because it is a bit of a loop-hole. You go nearly inverted, but never 100% feet over the head.

Just throwing it out there, in my mind, this could easily be qualified as bio (forward-cork) as well

flat 720 = rodeo 720.

rodeo is basically a flat spin

pls stop arguing about an arbitrary difference

shit, im pretty sure they don't in that d Ferguson shot. There was something about the d spin that made it a loop hole around doing inverts in bumps back in the day.

Regardless, with the back full your plane of the flip is directly backwards (like a back flip) where as the d spin is set off axis

off topic, but just throwing it out there
