Can someone please explain this? I've heard some different opinions.
1. The spins you do on a rail have to add up to 540, not including switchups.
2. A 270 on and whatever spin off, as in a 270 on and 450 off would be a pretzel 450 and a 270 on and 270 off would be a pretzel 270?

I'm not sure haha. No hate please, I just don't know.

ok, heres the rundown:

spin one way on the box/rail, stop rotation, spin other way off.  less than 180 degrees in either direction dont count (270 on pretzel 90 isnt really a pretzel, neither are fs 270's out)

a pretzel is when you spin on to or switch up a rail and spin in a different direction, if that is confusing its if you spin to your left for a switch up and then 270 out spinning to your right. get it? you just have to spin to the left and the right on the rail to make it a pretzel

you spin on to the box or rail bs or fs more 270 or more degrees
then you spin the opposite way out 270 or more degrees
so you could do a 450 to 270 out pretzel or a 270 to 630 out pretzel ect

yeah the point is though, you have to change directions on and off if you 270 to your right onto the rail then 270 off in the same direction its still not a pretzel.
