Ignore the Jerry in front of the camera, but is this a flat 3? Been trying to get the correct axis.

I’m dumb and consider that a rodeo 3 but yea that’s what most people call a flat 3. Props on not just doing a crooked backflip.

I know that the two terms are pretty much interchangeable these days, but aren't rodeos less inverted?

Shouldn't a flatspin be pretty much in a horizontal axis per the name and rodeo is like most axis between that and a weird backflip

To me, the perfect flatspin is a Henrik orbital

OP that was perfect! Now just go bigger and slower to get them super down

Similar looking but very different sets. Very clean flatspin IMHO.

Just like Jens says in the video, a Rodeo is inverted where a Flatspin is - after it's name - flat.

If I’m being honest, Sammy C and Candida are some of the only dudes I see doing “true” flat 3s, but OPs is probably the closest non-pro skiers can get to.

The problem with the “stompit tutorials” definition (which I think is the best definition) is that flat spins are sort of set forwards off the jump (watch video for reference https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=58QWRqlZLso) making them similar to bios, the difference being bios are spun like a spin and flat spins are a kind of flip.

TLDR flat 3s are do-able but you’re better off sticking to rodeo 3s because that’s what 90% of skiers call a “flat 3” and it’s easier.

for sure once we get snow, those are the only 2 jumps at 7 and its a case-clear type situation with speed
