Press a pretzel? That would be sick. Pretzels are in abundance right now. I think it is rare to see a really good lookin press. So, I would have to go with press.

Both. Pretzels are getting stock though, presses are soon to come.

I think pretzels look sick on rails, but on boxes I think they tend to look kinda whack. The whole lifting up the ski seems to looks strange, obviously there are some good looking box pretzels, but I think as a whole pretzels on a box don't look very good.

In conclussion, presses for boxes, pretzels for rails

probably go back to tricks that haven't been done in a long time. Maybe backscratcher backflips and helicopters and such. Look at clothing style, neon is so hot right now, just like in the 80's. If you want to be ahead of the game you should go learn up your daffy's and spreads

Depends whos doing it and on what
A smooth pretzel vs a smooth press are equal in my eyes

But pretzels are done so often without any style that its nice to see a press as a change of pace

I'd much rather see presses, you don't come across them very much and I think they look ill.

The press is less common but not as easy and fun to do as the prezel

well theyre pretty different maneuvers, and arent on the same level of difficulty..

like saying "kangaroo flips or butter 3's", not really that comparable

depends on the skier and what they are doing it on. some guys make pretzels look like butter while others just make it look super sketchy. as for presses, i'd say not enough skiers are doing them these days. super sick trick, as said above, their time will come soon.
