Pretzel ?

I know most people define a pretzel as at least a 270 or a swap where you change your direction as either a swap or 270+ off. But as a skier what if you 1 on a feature and switch 3 off in opposite direction, would that count as a pretzel? This is the feature that I do it on (its labeled on off feature on the top right) on http://www.killington.com/winter/parks/stills/index.html?photoalbum.page=11

I think so.. I think it's 180 degree + ON and 270 degree + OFF.

not exactly, it's when you change the way youre spinning, ex: you can do an ellen fed, which is a fs swap to fs 2out,this is also a fs swap to pretz 2out and i also call it a pretz swap to pretz 2out... idk if you only do a 90 on the rail, you still change the way youre spinning and people still understand the trick that youre doing.
