I just rewatched War and noticed that after Symms did his switch mute 7 he stood back up and "rode it out like a thug". It looked a little unintentional and short, but he did it. This movie was made back in 2005. Brogan was still a wee little grom back then... I am just curious, was anybody else bangin' back then, who was first?
BTW: its at about 29:37

Afterbang fucking sucks, shut up

Landing a trick smoothly and riding away smoothly is a whole different thing.

hahaha. heavy head is entirely making fun of afterbang. legit, watch wallisch land, he doesn land all squirrelly and then stand erectly like a fart just squeezed out of him in public, he lands perfectly balanced. and like a fly tan pimp.

my 2 cents.

No. If you land clean then your core/shoulders/arms don't move or rotate past your landing and stay with the rest of your body. Afterbang is the inability to do so, unless you're hornbreck.

Indeed. Wallisch rarely "afterbangs"; he just lands.

Not at all. Souls of Mischief was a hip hop group that was formed prior to Hieroglyphics. I'm pretty sure Hiero is everyone in Souls plus some other dudes such as Del.

Thank you for this.

Once again afterbang is a term that we stole from snowboarding.  And if you want the definition it can be found right there on the side of the VHS.

(afterbang) ~ the desperate attempt to compensate lack of style after landing.

I miss RobotFood.

Clap Clap Clap.....

Afterbang was made up by some snowboarders for when they landed all shity and would make their landing look good after almost eating shit.  what most people call afterbang today isnt what the true deffinition of afterbang even is.

I think there is a bonus feature in that movie^ called afterbang talking about it.
