Dipped 5. Not a flatspin. A flat spin is when your body is completely sideways (parellel to the coping) and you are doing a backflip motion. Your body in a flatspin is FLAT, hence the name. That's more like a dipped as f*ck 540, cause your throwing your shoulder down and making more of a barrel roll motion.

This debate happens in skiing all day, the difference between cork, rodeo, d-spin...it will never end.
This is a dipped 540. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdX-uQ5M660

yeh FUCK you conor. lmaooo
 
Id say it's more of a dipped five. In a flatspin, the rider always faces the direction he's spinning, here Ryan is spinning mostly sideways (if you don't understand, watch Chad Kagy's flatspin stuff to see the diference). This is how some bikers do flairs. If you did it frontside you could call it a rodeo in skateboard terms. Anyway, no matter how we call it, this is still a huge contribution in scooter trick progress, new off axis rotations are something Ive been waiting for for a long time.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's a flatspin. I think I've heard of Daniel Dhers doing them on bikes and they look the same.

I'd personally call it a corked 5..


Sick as fuck though, ryan you're a fucking nut, probably one of the most underrated park riders today. I've seriously been waiting forever for someone to do that trick on a scooter, and now you've pretty much got them.. too fucking gnarly..

its a flatspin stop arguing
a flat spin is a mix of a 540 and a flair and when you rotate it looks like hes spinning flat(watch the video hes flat during his rotation not upsidedown

if this was a 360, he woulda landed fakie steve
to me it just looks like a nose down 5


Steve wasnt calling it a 360 anything.. He was referring to another trick Ryan did, which was a 360 barrel roll.
