I feel like they are extremely similar. Whats the difference? For reference, look at McRae's bio 7 in his latest game of slvsh.

Rodeo is more of a flip when a bio is more of a spin

rodeo is back and bio is forward. Rodeos 5's and flat 5's are similar, flat 5's are just more inverted. Bios are like forward corks (sort of) its an axis between straight up and horizontal.Though I can see how you are confused because sometimes it looks like people are pushing forward on rodeos.

Bio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlBiMXkvF78 (I know its a big spin but its a good example of the axis)

The easiest way I know how to explain them, is they are close to the same thing but your feet never go above your head in a bio.
Rodeo = off axis backflip
bio = opposite of a cork, you pop forward as you spin but never go upside down.

bios are similar to corks
rodeos are similar to misties

corks/rodeos(and flats) are set back
bios/misties are set forward

Cork/Bio you never go upside down
rodeo/misty you are inverted.

Thesedays everything gets called an rodeo, but it mostly isn't. An Rodeo 7 for example would have to be set as an rodeo 3 and then the rest of the spin would have to come around after the 3 was set. An Flatspin 7 is prettymuch the same thing as an Bio 7 if set correctly. Just take a look at some "Rodeo 9 mutes" , they will be set forward(lying on the back at 180), and still could be considered as both flatspin 9 mutes and bio 9 mutes.

It all depends on the set of the trick, like some rodeos straight up look like some mistys, and then some rodeos look completely opposite from other mistys. Most ros i see nowadays are pushed liked you said, which is confusing af. Then there's flats as well that are pushed, especially flat5, like dam a flat5 bow n arrow can look like a bio.

I think the real difference is that on a flat/rodeo you push your back forward (if you set it not the classic way) first, whereas in a bio/misty you go head first then the back follows. Also, always look at the skis compared to the head right after the set to make out the trick, on rodeo/flat, the skis will will be level with head or higher (for rodeos especially). For misty/bio, the skis will be lower than head at first and come up as you invert (for a misty).

But yeah after the set, in spins bigger than 9 tricks can look like all sorts of other tricks.

Bio is defined as an off axis forward rotation, a rodeo is a brackish/ sideflip type rotation were you start off forward then roll over your back shoulder

Pull up a video of someone doing a cork 5 and watch their head and their ass(don't worry about legs). If they do it right, their hips should not be above their head.

With rodeos(I'm assuming left side) when you set, you lift your chest up and drop/reach with your right shoulder which could appear to be dropping forward- but you aren't. Your leading shoulder(left) is going back.

With bios(assuming right side), you look over your right shoulder and drop your left shoulder. Your chest goes down though, which sets you forward.

semi related but is it normal to want to throw rodeos unnatural? I've haven't tried one but just thinking about the rotation unnatural seems more... natural

Here's a better video:

I'd say those 5s were between a cork and d spin, kinda hard to tell on my phone though. A d spin is a more flippy cork, maybe thats what they did. I'm not too sure.

if you watch he doesn't go inverted completely.

i thought a flatspin was more inverted than a rodeo and i thought a d spin was set straight back like a back full
