Rodeo is essentially an off-axis spin. It doesn't really apply to wakeboarding because we just call them "off-axis spins". It's from other sports (snowboarding) where you kind of cork out a spin into an almost fliplike spin. <BR> <BR>Example ('rodeo' 540): <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/3184/484292.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR>Example (reg 540): <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/3184/484293.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>Unless of course by 'whats a rodeo' you're asking about bullriding and horses and stuff, in which case I have no idea really. <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Steve - Am I wrong then?<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>Yeah pretty much. A spin w/ no handle pass is called ole, unless you really just flip instead of get a true spin (think ole TS 540 vs Scarecrow, <i>almost</i> the same trick). <BR> <BR>-Steve

Clarification: <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>A spin w/ no handle pass is called ole<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR>A spin where you put the handle above your head. Technically you can land wrapped and spin w/o a handle pass, but thats something different altogether. <BR> <BR>-Steve

This snowboarding tricks looks more like a frontside cork 540.. <BR> <BR>this is more a like a fs rodeo 540 because he's completely inverted : <a href="http://picot.tristan.free.fr/image/tristan9.jpg" target="_blank">http://picot.tristan.free.fr/image/tristan9.jpg</a> <BR> <BR>here is the backside version of the rodeo : <a href="http://www.snowboardclub.co.uk/grafix/riders/marcandretarte/90rollseq.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.snowboardclub.co.uk/grafix/riders/marcandretarte/90rollseq.jpg</a> <BR> <BR>it looks better and it's the same thing as a tantrum to blind.
