no, it's thrown more like a rodeo except instead of being inverted your feet are level with your head - see Mike Wilson or Crighton for the sickest flat 5 criticals

if you have the movie propaganda, pollard does a gigantic one and its pretty easy to slow down and figure it out

a flat spin is like you're skiing on one of those hotweelz tracks where it goes sideways but does a loop.

Andy Mahre does the illest flatspins ever. Watch The Hit List.

And I don't know if that is a flatspin james, he is pretty fuckin close to being inverted. depends on whether you judge an invert by the feet being over the head, or the waist being over the head.

a flatspin is pretty much a backflip but instead of flippping with your body perpindicular to the ground its parallel and then you spin more after that but at the peak u should pretty much be flipping parallel to the ground

Thomas Rinfret does normal (non-alley-oop) flatspins in the pipe. Never really figured that one out.

Anyway, I'm getting used to answering these questions by just saying, search the video section! There's a lot of good examples to check out. Very basically, a flatspin is supposedly the opposite of a cork- the head leads the spin instead of the feet. In other words, at 180 you're flat on your back staring at the sky, head downhill, whereas in a cork at 180 you're staring at the ground, feet downhill.
