Backside Rodeo 540

My first two Backside Rodeo 540 in my life and I nailed it too. I was shaky about 15min after that from the adrenaline rush.

hey man i wanna get these really bad. any tips on how to approach it?

[brutolf]

@Jamarikle Don't throw it into a flip, just go in on toe edge and then lean backwards. The flip will get much speed when you pull up the board for the grab. The 180 at the end comes naturally or just tweak the board a little to get it in line for the landing. Watch different videos of this trick over and over and then visualize your self doing it and get the motion done in your head and then just go for it when you think you can do it. That's what I did and nailed it on the first try.

@brutolf What do you mean dont throw it into a flip? idk it looks like a backflip barrel roll with a 180 at the end. I visualized a lot and went on the trampoline but i guess im still not really sure exactly what im supoosed to do cus i do like backflips 180s.

[brutolf]

@Jamarikle Don't throw like you do an a trampoline. It might make it worse to practice that way cause you shouldn't throw with your arms etc. to get momentum, just lean into the spin(except if your not trying to do it in a really small jump). Also you should aim your front shoulder down beside the tip of your board and not try to swing the board up in the air.

[Jamarikle]

@brutolf Ah well i was thinking that ill just try it into powder, cus since u cant really swing into it you cant realyl do it on a trampoline right? did you practice it on a trampline?

[brutolf]

@Jamarikle No practice at all, just visualized it and studied it for 2 months. You don't need powder, a good jump with a correct landing is fine. You will spot the landing pretty early as you can see and get a good feel for it and just let out or tuck your knees to adjust the speed of the flip, and remember the grab cause that will help you through the flip in the correct way. You can also check this video hY0ahKs-ahE of mine at about 1 min(If you don't want to watch it all)

"Rodeo" it self is only defying what type of rotation it is just like "Underflip". An underflip 540 is basicaly a backflip with a 180 and same thing for Rodeo 540.

[brutolf]

@BertSnowBoards I thought so too at first. But when doing flips with rotation makes it complicated so the "flip" counts as a 360 then + the 180 otherwise it would be a frontflip 180 and that's not what it is(not by the existing definitions).

You're counting the spins and the name rodeo only determines what type of spin.

[GoProCodyHD]

its just a backside rodeo... that's all it is so why does everyone always fight over what it is when they have no idea what they're talking about?

[Vegardma]

I'd call that a "Ninety Roll". To do a poper BS Rodeao 540 you need to exit on you heelside.

Or is Ninety Roll too old school a name? :-D

@TehDeafKid Mountain Creek sorry was stuck in facebook mode lol

[TehDeafKid]

@brutolf if i break my neck imma blame you,..:p goin to creek today guna try to nail this

[niebelung54]

@GarrettGantt Retard, get your facts straight before you start commenting. It's as much of a BS rodeo 540 as a BS rodeo 540 could be. The backflip is a 360 added to the 180 = 540

[maycunich4217]

@brutolf dont hesitate just come in like your going to do a backside five and drop your back shoulder and pop like your going to flip tuck your knees and grab by your front foot and look back over your shoulder

[ndelcourt7]

this is a backflip, with a 180, not a rodeo 5, watch the nose of his board. dont get me wrong, it looks sick, but its not a rodeo 5

[GoProSnowboardingOR]

not a rodeo 5

[TeDubbs]

@GarrettGantt This is a rodeo 540.  You DO count the flip as a 360. Don't act like you know everything.

[Zombiepingoo]

i hate snowboarding tricks. on a trampoline thats just a backflip 180
