What's the name for a regular-like spin, but the body is parallel to the ground?

Originally I thought it's flatspin. Now I know flatspin is body parallel to the ground and the spin axis is from belly to back.
But what if the spin axis is from head to foot?
I believe if you spin this way backward, i.e. the skies are in front of you, then it's called a d-spin. Am I right?
But what's the name if you spin it in a forward style?

it's either a bio or a misty depending on the flip/spin ratio

It's like a bio, but bio takes off like a rodeo. I only see people do this on a trampoline, it's like leaning forward and start crazy spins. I don't know if this is physically feasible on snow or you have to start like a bio to start forward and spin.

I get what youre talking about. My gymnast freinds do this on the tramp alot. Some people set their bios so that they look like this.

It's a non flip maneuver. It's not a misty for sure, but I'm not sure if bio has flips.

Cork - off axis spin with head pointing uphill, not inverted
Bio - off axis spin with head pointing down hill, not inverted
D-spin - pretty much the same as a cork, but you go inverted at some point.
Rodeo - spin + flip, thrown "backwards"
Misty - spin + flip, thrown "forwards"
Flatspin - Close to a rodeo, but never inverted. Imagine a vertical axis going from one of your hips to the other that you spin around.

A flat spin would be if your were laying on your back, and spinning. Hence the name. But everyone calls everything a flat spin now so it has lost its meaning.

This is the most accurate and concise trick thingy I have ever seen. 10/10

It's definitely a bio because when I was learning rodeos and corks I would always do some weird/cool looking spin and like a week later I showed my friend a video of me doing it and he said it was a bio.

I believe a flatspin would be if you were laying on your side and spinning.

Best flatspin I've seen is Alex bellemares dub flat 7 at last years x games slopestyle on a throwaway run. Someone embed pls. It was probably the sickest trick of the contest imo

The only trick I am practicing this year until I am stomping them are laid out flatspins. I can 360, backflip and Lincoln loop so I should be able to fucking flat spin. Just haven't gotten the muscle memory down yet but I worked on it on a water ramp this summer so I think I'm close.

when I read your description of the trick, I thought of a D-Spin, like Candide's over Chad's.

"Body is parallel to the ground" means it's not a d-spin. D-spins are inverted. A d-spin is more in between a full-full and a cork, sort of. What OP is describing is a cork.
