[SibleyFreeSki]

Thanks for the tips check us out!

[TheHutchproductions]

shoulder in.... boom!

[MasacreMichael]

is rodeo like backflip 180?

[ThePlanBB]

it is definitely a flat 5...

look at some videos of tom wallisch forexample he has perfekt switch double rodeos there you can see a rodeo.... a flatspin is not the same as a rodeo!!!!

[bakejunt775]

he describes it pretty well but doesn't know much about blocking people in football

[NesQuiklol]

flat 5 = rodeo 5

[DJZmusicproductions]

Can anyone tell me from experience how much this sucks if you fall? My goal for this season is to learn this, I just want to know what to expect if and when I bite it.

[11homer97]

@DJZmusicproductions i've been trying a rodeo some times in the hill, and it ain't that hard. Just go for it and keep the rotation going.

[DJZmusicproductions]

@11homer97 Sounds like a plan, thanks!

[SonOfKurt]

I thought that in rodeo skis are higher than head. If I was wrong all the time, how the hell looks flatspin cause I thought it looks like that ;D It ruined my whole world xD

[AntwonOriginal]

@SonOfKurt dude same, just dont mind the name, let all the idiots out there fight over the names of tricks. Being able to do a trick is better than fighting over the name when half of them can't even take off a jump properly :p

[stee997]

im wrong ,if i say it looks like a cork?

[TheDisgruntledBat]

@stee997 yes, you would be wrong

[skiflyer95]

I'm pretty sure TJ Shiller knows if its a rodeo more than a bunch of bitchin kids on youtube. Shut the hell up and just enjoy the video

[l4ug3n]

isn't that more like a normal 540 ? xD

[CalleFS]

its stupid how many dif opinions there are, but i have to admit, this is a flatspin.

[Zombiepingoo]

@CalleFS uh hu. listen i think id leave the trick naming up to the pros

[CalleFS]

@Zombiepingoo

know what u mean, but still im pretty sure this is a flatspin. the feet never goes above the head. the differences between rodeo nd flatspin are so small, thats most likely why this video is called rodeo, and not flatspin, cuz there is no flatspin vid. andreas hatveit made tricktips on his blog, and one vid was called "rodeo/flatspin 540"..what he did, was a rodeo, not this. end

[steezster]

this is flat 5 not rodeo

[m0gulsk1er]

idk the last one looks like a misty to me... all the others like flats or rodeos hard to tell

[sirmace911]

misty

[lilmachias2712]

@sirmace911 ya he never sets even vaguely backwards

[john18061806]

looks more like a misty to me

[forestpowder9]

Well at least he knows how to play football

[Gnike9]

Boys a rodeo is inverted look at his head it never goes below him and it's not a flastspinf because a flatspin u have ur body horizontal to the ground

[HorsePlayProductions]

@Gnike9 it was a flatspin. you gotta look at his legs, not his upper body. his legs were horizontal but his upper body wasn't because of the grab. learn your shit.

[Caleb0wnedYou]

if you look inro his gogles he looks so blazed..

[frostybigdaddy]

@Caleb0wnedYou lol he probally is

[fazure]

why would a FLAT spin not be where your body is FLAT aka HORIZONTAL with the ground.

This was definately a flatspin. Rodeos have your skis going over your head. The one at 1:14 is more of a rodeo than the one TJ did.

[carcass2crusher]

you guys ahve it backwards, flatspin is near invert.

[1newskater4life]

@carcass2crusher you are dumbass. rodeos are near inverted, not flat spins.

[pingumotion]

Agree that's. a flatspin, a rodeo is of course inverted. What says the pro does'nt matter, it's the definition of the trick, not mine.

[YoureInSilico]

Would this be easier to learn as 360 first?

[ilikepieandsking]

wouldn't that be a flatspin? he didn't get inverted. i thought rodeo's were partially inverted

[Videoster18]

this this rodeo is kind of weird look more like a flat..

[Videoster18]

flatspin is completely diferent then rodeo !

[willimo27]

@backsiderodeo1080 No kidding

[indyboy137]

thats deffinetly a rodeo 5 i don't understand how people have so much trouble with tricks its really not that hard

[WorthlessCrap]

flat 5

[Probiebiscuit]

Hum... sorry TJ but that was a Flatspin 540

[shaneclark121]

@Probiebiscuit yeah you're right. you definitely know more than a pro

[Probiebiscuit]

@shaneclark121 Dude look closer ! His feet NEVER get higher than his head ! and read all the other comments Conclusion: Its a Flatspin 5; What about good glasses next time ? =)

[shaneclark121]

@Probiebiscuit yeah now that i'm doing rodeos i know what you're saying. but if TJ says its a rodeo its a fucking rodeo!!!

[HOOBLAposse]

@Probiebiscuit thats the same thing as a rodeo.

[3styleGOD]

ROFL guys.... Do you REALLY think that a multiple x-games winner is talking bullshit? I think he knows more about skiing then you about your own mother xD!

[sk8skiboard3]

are flatspin 5s and rodeos the same..? or if they are different what is the deference

[backsiderodeo1080]

aww fuck..i have no idea what tricks are which anymore...

[aosk8r3]

im pretty sure TJ schller would now. everyone on youtube is a fucking retard and dont know anything. THIS IS A RODEO 540

[lordlarsle]

does rodeo actually exist?? you guys is saying taht its a flatspin ALL OVER THE ***** WEB!! why cant you post your own vids of rodeo5???

[jeffguarino]

those are flat 5s wtf. you would think that pros know what they are talking about but apparently not. rodeos go completely upside down. when you dont go upside down on a rodeo its a flatspin.

[Andersx93]

@jeffguarino are you Retarded ??????? Flatspin is completely upside down...

[Frediboy94]

@Andersx93 no, flatspin is when you are FLAT in the air. you are the retarded one!

[WaRnEr1080]

@Frediboy94 u r wroongg... flatspins are really completely upside down with a little flat but not much. rodeo is when u go more flat.

[WaRnEr1080]

@Andersx93 agreed! these ids doesent know what flat is.

[afterbanghero]

@Andersx93 you're fucking retarded, a flatspin in non inverted...

[Frediboy94]

@jeffguarino the pros DO know what they are talking about. In many vids they say that you can choose if you want to do your rodeo as a overcork, flatspin, or full flip.

[Skiingismyreligion]

OMG i get it now. i'm trying it in my trip to the rockies this week :D

[toukopuoko]

I think TJ knows what is a rodeo 5 so cut the crap!

[wolflord2fk231]

no obviously he doesnt because this isnt even close to a rodeo 5 dumbshit

[wolflord2fk231]

this isnt a rodeo or a misty...both odf those are inverted.this isnt.

[zzz512000000]

i dont understand? he is a pro and he is saying that this shit is a rodeo? but a rodeo isnt supposed to be a backflip + rotation? and this trick (my opinion) but this is a bio? he do a rotation forward .offaxis but his head never goes under? i dont understand

[wolflord2fk231]

a rodeo is a backflip rotation. this is basically a cork 5 or flatspin 5.a rodeo 5 is a backflip 180 cuz u count the flip as 360 rotation.

[lukytas44]

@zzz512000000 he rotates backwards you idiot!

[lukytas44]

@zzz512000000 omg! you know less than what I thoght....

cork is backwards... rodeos and flatspins are backwards aswell. The difference is in the spin angle. corks do have more side rotation than backward rotation, while flatspins and rodeos do have more backward rotations and less side rotation compared with a cork. get a bit of knowledge before posting any bullshit....

[lukytas44]

@zzz512000000 what the fuck man? now you are hiding your comments in a language I dont understand... fag!

[zzz512000000]

@lukytas44 dude the trick he is doing is a rodeo but to me

it looks more like a bio 5 than a rodeo 5

a rodeo is a sideflip with rotations i know but it looks like a bio

he rotate forward and offaxis

anyway no1 has to complain tj schiller even if its complicated to understand exactly what is a rodeo( cause in snowboard rodeo is a back+rotation)

[lukytas44]

@zzz512000000 he never rotates foward. watch at the begining. he just looks backwards and sideways to his body, never foward!

aas you said, bio 5 is rotating foward and offaxis, but he isnt rotating foward at any moment, so for me it looks like a rodeo 5, and in fact it is a rodeo 5 because a pro is saying it lol

[HOOBLAposse]

@lukytas44 corks are going off axis when you spin. not necessarily just backwards. mistys rodeos flatspins, they are all corks.

[lukytas44]

@HOOBLAposse I never questioned that... I just stated that flats are off axis with back and side rotation, while mistys and bios are off axis with a foward and a side rotation... and the dude I was replying too, sayed it was a foward off axis rotation, thats why I commentd that

[HOOBLAposse]

@lukytas44 oh i see. confusion cleared haha.

[Haterbc]

@HOOBLAposse

they arent

[HOOBLAposse]

@Haterbc the name says it all. flatspins are rodeos. rodeos are flatspins. they are the same thing.

[Haterbc]

@HOOBLAposse

They arent.

Dub rodeo 10 doesnt look close to a dub flatspin 10.

E-mail any pro skier and they will set you straight. Stop spreading lies.

[Haterbc]

@HOOBLAposse

Flatspins, mistys, rodeos are not corks. THEY ARE NOT CORKS.

[HOOBLAposse]

yeah they are. "corks" is a generalization for all of the terms bio misty rodeo flatspin whatever, its all the same. your spinning and your going off axis; cork.

[Haterbc]

@HOOBLAposse

Corks are backwards.

Dspin once you go past 90 degrees, if you go forward its a bio

You could call all of them a variation to the term "cork", but you would be wrong since you are not the guy making up the terms. You are not the inventor, nor an authority on this so you will have to go with the stuff that is well known today.

[duckboy07]

i ve heard many people saying rodeo s like a backflip. but here, tj explains the motion as if your tackling=flipping forward? and it doesnt seem that he goes inverted to me. maybe its just a problem of the angle... sorry if it doesnt make sense. but can anyone clarify this...thanks

[Hjarlette]

In a rodeo yo unever go inverted pretty close but your basically throwing your hips around your waist then wraping them around your ribs to switch

[Liingeron]

Thanks Very Much! Now i know how to do a Rodeo 5! :D

[evenmoe123]

Thats not a rodeo, its a flatspin.

[k1i1l1l1a1]

thanks yo

[yummycandy321]

looks hard i dont no if i should try this

[wtfdued]

im defenatly trying 1 this week :)

[wtfdued]

what about a backflip... i wanna learn it b4 rodeo is it easier or harder than a rodeo

[babuinobabi]

easier! you only have to throw yourself back and to spot the landing... try it in the powder!

[erlilun]

lawl... that's a misty 540, not a rodeo

[jayhawk782]

@erlilun dude he is a professional skier, im sure he knows what trick he is doing

[ovaali1]

nice tips on the videos... still have to wait 2 days, then im in the slope too. B)
