Sorry if this has been done, but I was thinking that this thread could just be a log where people can post videos of proper examples of all the main axises. That way if your trying to get a good picture of a certain trick in your head before trying it you can look at a proper set and example without searching in edits and all over instagram or YouTube on the chairlift.
Idk if a thread is the right way to do this. I feel like a dedicated youtube channel where pros actually do the rotations would be better. Also some axises are opinionated. For example I see a lot of "cork 3s" or dub 7/9 that are just flatspins. Flat 180s that are just underflips with a rev jap, etc. You get the gist

Agree, but the ratio of downvotes to upvotes on each post should somewhat depict what the consensus is. For what it's worth, I trust people on NS (on this topic) more than people on youtube, insta, etc
Website would be better, aggressive inline has one of these and it’s super useful, if skiing wanted to be serious there should be something similar because I’ve met people who don’t know what tricks are called and I myself apparently don’t actually know what a rodeo even is. Apparently flatspins are real tricks? Shits confusing.
anyone feel free to correct me if any of this wrong, but rodeos and flatspins are somewhere in between sideflip and backflip. Think of it this way: In a backflip your legs come up vertically, directly over your head. For a sideflip, they come up directly to the side. For a rodeo, your legs come up at a sort of diagonal angle, which is why you don't go fully inverted on rodeos and flatspins.
Regarding dspins, imagine you do a bunch of cork 7s, starting with a "typical" cork 7 axis, with each cork becoming progressively more inverted. Eventually you end up doing a backflip 360 (back full). A dspin is essentially a cork 7 that's more inverted/flippy but less so than a back full. A dspin is an older term that doesn't seem so common these days. It's difficult to figure out exactly where to draw the line in terms of the different axes.
I'm just gonna throw out there we got probably 600+ tricks tagged, indexed, and searchable by feature, axis, grab, direction, flavor, and pretty much everything else here: https://ride.idx.style

the sw10 was none other than andy mcdowell, who has been shredding pow with the angels the last few seasons. the clip is from spring 2012 when squaw had a sick spring park setup and the boys were going off

so you're saying a youtube where you can see the trick and axis and even get it explained ? pretty much my goal :)
