that makes zero sense.....frontside 2 out doesn't at all mention the swap or describe the trick.
if you hit a rail left foot forward, do a front swap (180 to the left, to right foot forward) scissor and spin the opposite direction for a front 2 out (270 to the right to switch) like the OP described, that is not just a "frontside 2 out".
Any time you spin 180 in one direction (whether it be onto the rail/box or a swap while you're already on it) and then stop your momentum and spin the opposite direction 180 or more, you've done a pretzel, period.
A lot people only call 2 on, to blind 2 out "pretzels", but whatever.
I would call the trick OP mentioned: front up, pretzel 2.

No, swaps can't be pretzels. A preztel is any time you spin off the rail/box against your momentum (270+ degrees), BUT it is only a pretzel if you spin onto the rail and/or do a switch up/ups on the rail.

hahaha woah did skiing reinvent the pretzel or some shit? this is actually hilarious.
a skierslide fs 270 out is technically still pretzel, pretzel isn't the name of a trick it's just another way of saying what direction you are spinning out. get your facts straight ya god damn amateurs
