How exactly would you do a rodeo or a cork or a bio or any off axis spin off of a diving board?

Spin yourself, and tilt forward during your initial huck.

i swear no one on this site knows what a rodeo is... ITS NOT OFF AXIS ITS A FLIP! rodeo = backflip with a spin

cork: (this is to spin left) spin and look over your left kneck and look very far up. now spin and throw your hands so that your looking right at them. let your knees come up to your chest and just do a saftey or just keep them tucked in. dont be afraid to let yourself go sideways. you will come around, when you spot the landing just look there and you will stick it.
D spin: just an inverted cork (im pretty sure). basically just throw the cork harder but spin with the same intensity as before (just so you get so corked you get inverted)
Bio: Basically a cork but your feet are behind you instead of a cork, with your feet being in front of you. Throw down to your ankles and bend over forward. tuck your knees up to your chest and you should sort of roll over in the air onto your back.
Misty. an inverted bio. just throw forward harder and you will go inverted.

a misty is a front flip with a spin of atleast 540. a rodeo is a backflip with a spin of atleast 540. if u do a 720 its called a misty 7 or rodeo 7.

and bio is a forward cork... regualr cork = backwards off axis, bio = forward off axis. the description and way of throwing a bio was completly off

um... how? i said that a bio is a cork where your feet are behind you (which would make you off axis, but off axis forward). thats how i throw them i don't really know any other way...

I can get the axis right but I can't get the spinning which is why I'm not coming back around and I always sidesmack against the water.

a misty is a front flip 540 and a rodeo is a backflip with a spin (this is what ive heard many places)
to the other guy who was talking about the bios, how do you throw them then? maybe im not doing them completely right

while a rodeo is a flip, its not a fucking backflip, its more of a lincoln with a spin, but thats not even it.

what i do is i throw the spin and lift my knees up and just tuck them in. im assuming you can spin normally off of the board so the problem is probably that you either flail int he air, so you dont spin because your a little intimidated about falling (that is pretty normal though so dont worry). just keep trying to get the whole thing down with the full spin, you should come back around if you keep your head lookin around to spot the landing

yeah make sure you tuck your legs up, if you do it enough it turns into a habit, and you need to tuck it up if you want to ever land it on snow

when i rodeo, i kind of 180 and backflip at the sametime, and the rotations just kind of follow. to misty, instead of spinning parallel to the ground, throw your right arm towards your left foot. Someone once said you should try and punch your opposite foot. dunno if that really helps.

yup, but a lot of the time people dont realize that the rotation of the frontflip or backflip counts as 360, so like a frontflip 180 = a misty 5: the frontflip is just a 360 rotated about the horizontal plane

its hard to not go corked off a diving board for me. just try to grab the outside of your inside foot with opposite hand. if you spin left grab outside left foot with right hand. if you spin right grab outside of right foot with left hand. tilt back and spin, simple.

Misty flip: front flip with a spin.
Do a front flip but throw your arm down to the opposite knee.
Rodeo flip: back flip with a spin.
Do a back flip but emphasize the motion towards one side. (ex: instead of throwing your head back, throw it diagnal right or left)
Lincoln Loop: side flip
Take your arms, put them 90 degrees like you're flying a plane. then when you jump make your plane flip the way you want, by turningthe invisible steering wheel. it'll feel real weird always but its a fun trick to learn.
Lincoln Loop w/ spin: side flip spin
do the same thing as you would with a lincoln loop but throw your head a little diagnal (not as much as you would with a rodeo)
Cork: seem like every knows this one.
Bio: i have no fucking idea can't do them for the life of me.
Dspin: in my dreams.

i know how you feel with the bio's, i try but have no clue what im doing. and d-spins are just inverted corks arent they? cause i thought i could do them just emphasize the cork-ness more than the spin....i dunno if thats right but thats how i roll.

thanks, I already knew lincoln loops thats my signature one that everyone knows me by, just super high lincolns.
I'm on dive team so I can do mistys and rodeos, I just had problems with the off-axis stuff like corks and bios
thanks to all, I'm going to go try these now.

EXACTLY, kids need to understand the difference between a cork spin, and a rodeo/backflip spin

rodeo = inverted cork
misty = inverted bio
either of which may contain the likes of : backflips or frontflips, and lincolns

dude you have no clue what your saying. it isnt a straight backflip with a spin. its like a diagonal backflip with a spin thrown in it. which kinda makes it off axis, hard to explain.

Thank you. It's thrown "LIKE A BACKFLIP" or "FEELS LIKE A BACKFLIP". You turn forward 90 then go into a backflip motion then bring the other 90 around. It's not a BACKFLIP with a spin...that would be a flare or a back full

Bump
I'm going tomorrow for the first time in like 10 years...
I heard a good way to cork is to slap the left side of your ass with your right hand, is that true?
Can someone give me better advice on the bios- is it easier to start 'bio-ing' right when you jump, or after 180/360?
What do you do with your arms/hands after you throw, do you just pull them into your chest, or is it better to hold a leg or something to keep the spin going off-axis?
thanks men

rodeos are dengerous since its very easy to smack ur noggin on the diving board so ur better off doing switch rodeos. to cork i just huck the spin and look to ur back left. to bio i throw a misty but i dont throw down as hard and i kinds go toward my left leg a lil and it bios me. personally i my favorite diving board trick is a delayed cork 9. i huck a spin and at about 450 throw my weight back and try to roll out of it and it works. i land on my feet on the water

Experiment with arm placement.
I used to be a springboard diver so when I was trained, you would get a left spin by looking over your left shoulder and bringing your left arm up so your fist is over the top of your head. At the same time, you would bring your right arm around so your right fist was just under your left boob (in my case).
To go off axis, I was trained to cross one leg slightly behind the other or to bend at the waist, both while doing the aforementioned arm motions. Normally I would bend at the waist and fold down like I was going into a pike, but then twist my body so it was at an angle to my legs, not directly coming down onto them. I really hope that made sense.
Good luck and have fun!

my only tip is wear a shirt at first, it helps with the bellyflopping, other than that just spin where you think you would need to go and in a few tries you'll be able to do what you want

I usually just do a misty/bio flip/spin off a diving board.
All times are Eastern (-5)
