flair is a backflip 180, or a rodeo 5, people just call it that cuz its in the pipe, thats what its called in BMX

^yes it is, how many times do I have to go over this?
a flair is the same thing as a rodeo 5.
its a backflip with a spin. watch eric pollard do a rodeo 5 and then tell me its not a flair. and a flatspin is pretty much the same as a rodeo you just don't go inverted.
watch a switch flatspin 5, then watch a switch rodeo 5, its the same damn thing. a flat spin u don't go inverted, u rotate on your back like a turtle shell, just like a flatspin 7/rodeo 7.
I don't care what u say, u can call your tricks whatever u want, but its the same idea. just like misty is the same as an overflip. call it whatever u want...
but flair = rodeo 5 = flatspin 5 = underflip
just like misty is the same as an overflip. most people just don't go inverted on an overflip.

no! a flair is a backflip 180
there is no way a 5 and 180 are the same.
completely different than a rodeo and flatspin.

u guys are dumb. a flair is still 540 degrees of rotation. whether u combine a 5 with a backflip, or you do a backflip then a 180(a backflip is 360 degrees of rotation + 180 = 540).
in the halfpipe a flair is more of a rodeo 5, or flatspin, then it is on a quarter pipe too. some people, like jon olsson for instance, does more of a flatspin in the pipe, sorta a lincoln with a 180. but if u see dumont do one on a qaurter pipe its the same trick, he just does more of a backflip to 180, still a rotation of 5 degrees.
technically a flair is a rodeo 5, whether u like it or not.

switchin dirty. you are dumb. watch a fucking flair, then watch a fucking rodeo 5. you number of rotations theory is stupid. a front flip 180 is not a misty. flairs go completely, completely upsidedown, and rodeos, while your feet are abouve your head, aren't completely completely upside down. your dumb. really, really dumb, about this trick dude.
more or less a rodeo is a 90 backflip 90, or its a loop 180.
flairs are completely backflip 180.
you come out of a rodeo and a flair completely different.

it just depends on how u do it, but its still a flip, leading with your head in a back direction, and they are both 540 degrees of rotation. flair and rodeo are both inverted tricks with 540 degrees of TOTAL rotation.
its the same trick whether u like it or not. whether u do them how pollard does, dumont does, or skogen does. a flair is a rodeo 5, just looks somewhat different cuz the rotation is either completley seperate or kind of all mixed together u could say. but in the end there are both the same rotation.

aha this is baically impossible ... the closest you will see to this being done is like misty to back or cab rodeo 5 to back

you wouldn't need to stop your momentum. if you did a backflip or frontflip and then a 180, you could continue with the opposite, either a front or back
