So i understand that in a true flatspin 360 you want your head to stay above your feet and keep it more on the spin side rather than the flip side of things. Some people just do backflips and grab safety and japan and call it good but it bugs me if i dont have my tricks done correctly. Here is a video of my first flatspin and i cant tell if its a wackflip, a flat 3, or inbetween and am i doing it correctly? Opinions, and tips needed.

As far as ik the flat 3 torin does over the monster symbol is a true flat 3 but im not really sure.

Both are flat 360s. Tell the filmer to film landscape.

I'm in the same dilemma as you OP, I've been landing what I think are flat 3s for the past couple of days now, however, I'm not sure if I'm actually doing a true flat 3. Once the it stops snowing over here I'll get some footage and post.

It's flatter than a whackflip but more lincoln-esque. Whackflip is straight back with a japan and it's evil.

word i think im gonna hit the tramp park and practice them until i can get them really flat like torin does over that gap because i feel 1. they will be a lot more comfortable 2. they look way better. post when you can!

I'd say its pretty fucking close compared to what most people call flat 3's now. Where is this at btw I remember you made a thread about loon but that doesnt look like loon.
