I like the ones from Hot Sam's with the cream cheez in the middle.


I think that's a dumb name for a revert though.

I don't think so. I think its more of a spin onto a rail like a 270 but I'd have to see it. For pretzels just watch corey in SH6

a rewind is in the middle of a spin off a jump when you spin the other way. see drew fuller's last trick in one love for a rewind.

a revert is when you go from reg to switch or switch to reg on the snow.

a pretzel is an opposite 270 out of a rail.

they are three different things.

Well if you don't have to spin 270+, then wouldn't it be a pretzel everytime you come off a rail regular? Or did you just mean it could be like, a 450?

Anytime you come off the rail the opposite way you went on it is a pretzel, but there really isn't any reason to claim sliding a rail back to straight as one.

Big Time bit from snowboarding. Pretzel is for snowboarding ( as I am informed by my shredsledding friend) anything where you either go straight or spin on to rail/box and then change your momentum, and spin off opposite ways. Sameways is also created by snowboarders where you either spin/come on straight and use your momentum to spin off the same way you spun on, hence the term "Sameways". Im guessing in a few weeks time sameways will be adopted by skiers aswell. Im a fan on 270 dismount myself Backways or frontways.
