Double FS Switch Up

Ok so I'm was learning these todays and I was wondering is this considered a pretzel. I slide right foot forward and then I spin to the right for the swtich up so I'm left foot forward then I spin to the left for the next switch up. I know pretzels are anything over 180 degrees spining one way then spinning the other. But doesn't it sound weird to say Fs switch up to pretzel fs switch up?

that sounds like the ugliest trick ever,

and yes that would be considered pretzel, but just call it what it is and people will figure it out

not technically a pretzel, you gotta spin more than 180 with the initial rotation.

I would call that pretzel, as the difficulty level is high enough.

so a blind switch up to blind switch up isn't a pretzel? You don't have to spin on to pretzel...

Yeah I would consider it a pretz. That trick is fun, looks by far the best and hardest on down rails as well.

There you go for the DEFINITION OF PRETZEL

https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/337037/

And yes that would be one and it would be sick to see a video of it, just to see if it's stylish or not

i really don't like how double Front ups look.... or even front up , front 2 outs . shit just looks goofy to me most of the time. I think double BS looks so much better and its way easier for me cuz im bad at gripping unatural frontside anyways

yup it is a pretzel, but you gotta have some quality steeze to make that trick look good.

word i'd much rather see a fs sw up to bs sw up / bs 270 out rather than fs sw up to fs sw up / fs 270 out. frontside to frontside may be harder but it's so much steezyer going fs to bs or vise versa.
