No dude you're just throwing to the side you feel most comfortable on i.e. FS or BS.  Force yourself more over to your other side.  You'll end up in the middle.

flat spins are not forward.  they are essentially a off axis backflip

i have also heard of a kind of forward flatspin where instead of rotating over your back you rotate over your stomach.  i have only heard of that being called a blunt roll
