A couple days ago it's was warm and slushy and everyone was trying new tricks. I've been doing flatspins on the tramp for a while and I decided to try one on skis. My friend told me throw it like you do on on tramp and idk why I listened to him bc he can't flatspin but the one kid watching said I did a bio. I don't know wtf happend but I dropped my right shoulder and looks over my left and did a bio. Please help.

Watch my last video, I literally was in the EXACT same situation except no bio. I didn't land it because the sideways landing from the side hit (I know bad excuse). The trick is to throw it more like an angled backflip for flatspin, rather than rodeo which is more sideways.

Pop hard, set back (like you would for backflip.) Drop one of your shoulders. From here, it kind of depends who you ask. I like to think about kicking my knee towards my opposite ear, but I have a buddy who thinks of it more as throwing his shoulder around. Either way, if you threw a bio, you weren't even remotely close so forget everything you were previously trying. So set back, drop the shoulder, throw the knees around your head (not over), spot, land, and you're golden.

When I throw lincolns I go in with a lot of shin pressure and do a sideways flip. If I go into the jump without any shin pressure and throw a lincoln it won't be completely sideways it'll be like flatspin/rodeoish right?

A lot of people would consider that a wackflip. True flat 3 is thrown really sideways like rodeo but you end it at 3 instead of 5. It can be an awkward trick to learn how to land.
