a pretzel is just a switchup or spin off that goes against the direction you're spinning.
so a fs switch is a pretzel but the thing most people think of is 270 on bs 270 out

Afterbang cannot be found if one is looking. Afterbang must find you, and you must find your place within Afterbang. To reach for it is to let it slip from your grasp, but to let it go is to hold it with all your strength.

Keep it hyphy, young apprentice.

ok so after bang is when you land you land with style and cleanlyness.

pretzel is when you spin the oppisite on a rail/box you just spun to

like for example 270 pretzel 270. or fs switch up pretzel 270 out

afterbang is not a noun so therefore your grammar is incorrect

you need to understand that afterbang is something that you do its not something you find, or something that you can obtain. See afterbang must be achieved through much hardwork and dedication towards skiing, and ofcourse you must believe in afterbang if you want to be able to achieve it or master it correctly.
