Like if I'm playing slush with the homies can I call "boner 180 to afterbang" and win cause no one else was steezy enough?

Only counts if you're sipping a regular coke while you ski away

Afterbang transcends the category of 'trick'. In your case however, where you specifically called afterbang as part of the maneouvre, if the 'bang doesn't come around it's a no go.

It’s an element of a trick. Some would say it’s the most important aspect of a trick.

no. afterbang is a style. you might as well call 180 in an xxl coat...."welp you landed the trick but coat was too small, so you get a letter"

It’s as much of a trick as itching your nuts on the chairlift

Definitely counts. One of my favorites to call when its just a throwaway set on a dumb feature/would otherwise skip. "front 2 heavyhead" or like switch to switch banged the fuck out

afterbang of 200+ feet automatically triggers trivia crack rule and a todd wallnutz summoning. be careful what you wish for

and on top of that, your homies get an extra letter if they don't get the reference

“Is afterbang a trick?” is the “Is mayonnaise an instrument?” of ski questions.
