My understanding:

http://expn.go.com/media/players/basic/video/xgames/wxg/2002/020117_skislope_2nd_bridge_video.html#

The last jump.

Yer average corked spin has the skier leaning sideways or backwards relative to the fall line. The bio (in this case) at its most corked (as the first 360 ends), has the skier leaning WAY forward. As the spin progresses, the skier does end up bit sideways (540) and a bit backwards (at 900)as CR wobbles back to being straight. But the skier is definetly leaning forwards when the corkiness of the spin is at its max, so it is hence known a bio.

a bio is a forward corked spin, if you do a corked spin on a table, your feet go in front of you, but you do not go upside down. When you do a bio, you head is in front of you, and your feet behind, but dont go inverted, it is like an uninverted misty flip.

um, dude - misties arn't necessarily (and not usually) inverted.



Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Actually he is right on about the misty thing, sort of. For the record, a misty is either inverted or with your shoulders level with you hips in the air. A misty is nothing like a bio in the air, where they are similar is at take off. with a misty 5 you turn your upper body 90 degrees and drop your foreward shoulder down while looking sideways over the opposite shoulder to initiate the trick. You do the same thing to start a bio except you drop you shoulder diagonally down. For example if to start a misty you drop your left shoulder towards your left hip, then to do a bio you would drop your left shouldermore toward your left hip and this will change you spin axis

I have always thought of bio's as a corked spin between a misty and a stright up spin. I find the best way to do them is to just not set the trick so hard down, just lean forward and wrap into the spin.I just dislocated my ankle doing this trick on my trampoline, good luck.

misty_flipper is right, at least of what i read about it

its a forward cork

you go forward, then look toward sky pretty much.

not man skiers do this at all.
