Had a few different answers. First attempt at what I thought was a flat 5.

Never could go wrong with a Rodeo 5 truck driver. I love throwing a mean flat 5 don’t get me wrong. just doesn’t look as steezy!

Rodeo and flat are the same axis anyone who claims they can tell a difference is lying so just call it by whichever one you like better

if you throw a huge flat 5 it looks more ILL than a huge rodeo 5. maybe just me but when i throw flat 5s the homies get hella hyped.

I think that’s more a rode 5.

I always thought flat 5s were more a flat 3 with an extra 180

I say flat 5 (not completely inverted is my argument) or even Lincolny-180 because that’s what my ‘flat spins’ look like. Somebody else posted a textbook flat 5 video earlier

Whatever it is it looks sick though

I used to do both a lot, and the rodeo is a way more inverted trick. To keep it flat you have to reach your right hand for the left flag as you pop, and it's kind of weird at first. The video is sideways for me so it's tough to watch, but it looks like a rodeo 5 to me. Reach with your hand and shoulder more than you pop and lean back and it'll flatten out.
