What new tricks have you learned this year? So far I've learned a flat 3/5, cork7, and I'm working on my rodeo 5!

Flat 5 and rodeo 5 are way too similar to be able to do one and not the other.

true flat 5 (sammy c style) vs true rodeo 5 (super inverted) are two completely different rotations so I do believe that OP could be learning rodeo 5 after knowing flat 5.

As far as new tricks- back surface swap, landed my first 7 on one ski yesterday, and front 450s out of rails that should not be 450able.

Been trying to get the switch zeros to look better, as well as swaps and 50-50s on skinny rails.

OP knowing how to flat 5 but not how to rodeo 5 can be a legit problem. I can flat 5 but not flat 3. New tricks uhmm nosebutter 2 on (hard as fuck to get it right, succes rate like 1 in 10), unnat blind surfs, unnat 2on, unnat lipslides, .. , ok I'll stop the claiming lol

Random question, i can rodeo but i'm having trouble getting the last 180 around. I get the flip but then i always stop...

And, how do you do flats compared to rodes? Flats seem harder tbh. You need so much more control...

I haven't done a rodeo on skis, but my best advice would be throw less of a flip and throw more of a spin. It should come around easier, my first attempt at a flip would have been a perfect flat 5, then i tried to get the flip around quicker by throwing more inverted and ended up doing a fucked up flatspin 270 while getting the flip around.

Ok, that's what my friends told me too... So does that mean I throw it differently? Haha that's what happens to me but I usually stop midair

everyone tries to throw rodeos the same as flat 3 with a twist at the end, they are sooo different. For a rodeo, as you are throwing like a flat, you have to turn your hips and shoulders sideways, as your throwing off the lip, this will start the spinning rotation earlier and make sure you get around.

So... There's basically no difference between a flat 5 and rode 5. So concentrate more on the spin. Right.

Got my spotting for 2's and 4's off way better, so i'm getting them cleaner.

Apart from that the only other things are front swaps and switch lips

This kid knows what's up, first one is a flat 5, second is a rodeo. It's hard to see but first one isn't really too inverted while the second one is straight up inverted. There is a difference.

A straight air is a straight air, a zero spin is a switch straight air. There is no such thing as a switch zero spin
