So i think I am pretty sure about these but..... I just want some for sure answers for what the difference is between:
flatspins
rodeos
lincoln loop (I thought this was similar to a flatspin)
and mistys

thanks

flats- feet never go above the head (but not corked)
rodeos- feet go above your head
lincolns- no spin. basically a barrel roll
misties- a fronflip + rotation

think of a top spinning...

full speed = straight up spin

slowing down and kinda wobbleing = cork

almost stopped, really wobbly, spinning in revolutions almost = flat spin

stopped = sideways

^ take that and pretend it were to keep falling down (upside down) = Rodeo

for flatspin, you set your rotation halfway between lincoln and backflip.. just kind of dip your shoulder back.

my friend does Sevens that he calls cork but at one point his feet are above his head but only for a split second. Maybe its a Misty 7?

flatspins are really hard to explain.
The way I always think of them is a bio but leaning back instead of front although that isn't really it.
Picture someone doing like an alioop bow and arrow grab in the pipe and that's basically it. It's like having your skis rotate around your body.

lincoln- basically a side flip (barrel roll)
rodeo- put simply, a lincoln with a spin. when you just say "rodeo" you mean rodeo 5, a lincoln with a 180
flatspin- a non inverted rodeo
misty- put simply, a front flip with a spin. a misty 7 would be like an off axis front flip with a 360. imagine running up to a table, throwing your right shoulder to your left hip, and rolling over the table

a cork 7 that goes inverted would be a d spin 7, if you want to get technical
