hmmm no, afterbang was made by snowboarders as a joke then some skiers like wallisch joked with it as well. but because everyone enjoys riding wallisch's dick they did realise it was a joke and took it way too far.
Maybe I'm wrong, but i thought afterbang (after you bang) is when you land, you land so hard (bang) that you bounce a bit, usually you bounce back on to your tails
what really amazes me about Wallisch is what the commentator during the Dew tour brought up about his slopestyle runs. I never realized it until it was mentioned but as Wallsich is landing he is already looking at that next hit. That is what makes his afterbang for me, he is just so confident and solid in his landings that he is already looking at the next trick before finishing the first.
Do bears shit in the woods? He stops the shit out of his tricks and makes them look steezy as fuck afterbang isn't just looking like your arms go numb and your head bobs around.
dude... I have a video of Tom stomping a trick at dew tour this year, afterbanging the shit out of it, and as he's riding away in his thug pose he just loses his balance and wrecks. Funiest fucking thing I've seen. Need to upload it today sometime.
