You're confusing the word "tweak" for "twerk".

no. tweaked means like adding a little style or flair to something. like a huge trails gap instead of just airing it you could throwin a nice moto whip

You used the term "mad air" your input on my English is irrelevant.

Well, it's more like you do a Motowhip. And then if you tweak it you get It really sideways. Tweaking means fully extending it out and making it extra stylish.

Tweak = Style

You can't really tweak a bar or tailwhip , it's for tricks that you have to extend to look good ; turndowns , tables , etc

I've always understood "tweak" to be another word for style. Tweaked out table tops and turndowns come to mind.
