WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FLYING SIT SPIN AND A DEATH DROP?

It's a Maximum of 8 steps.

Actually there is a maximum of 7 intro steps allowed in the US MITF tests (on the ones that allow intro steps)-

D'oh! I should have read the whole thread, huh

Difference between a death drop and a flying sit is the air position - death drop is horizontal (face down) while a flying sit isn't

Also the death drop is open into a backspin.
