I think i might have been wrong but flat 3's to me look like rodeos or lincolns but they really are flat 3's

Yeah there are flat 3's but most are just "rodeo 3's" or off axis backflip/loop.  Here's a video of Mike Henitiuk throwing one of the most legit flat 3's out there, and it's in the moguls.  The goal is to not go inverted, Henitiuk does a little, but if done right it's one of the toughest tricks out there.

That would be a misty 5.

But yeah "flat" 3's do exist, but they are mostly just rodeo 3s. They are halfway in between backflip and lincoln loop. Warnick does a pretty dank rodeo 3 in the 4bi9 gets aspen video. Check it out at 1:08

That is a lincoln 180.  From the cam perspective the flip is thrown to the side.  You just rotated
