Buttering question...

[thefilmerguy]

i can butter pro on carpet but when i get on snow i cant do it that well, ive been doin them on the old scratch bc's which are pretty soft but it hurts my calfs a ton...does thiss happen to everyone

 

[ajax]

hells yeah, my calfs can definitely feel it

 

[thefilmerguy]

haha bump tips anyone?

 

[Tapes]

yeah it hurts me too.

 

[skiierman]

Don't be a pussy? Or you could buy some Booster Straps.

 

[thefilmerguy]

what are Booster Straps

 

[timmyjones]

they go over the straps at the top of your boot and they just give you a tighter fit to your leg...they were originally for racers but now park skiers are using them more cause they help your shins out

 

[sherpasrock]

yeah, the reduce shin bang and stuff. might not help a whole lot if its the pressure thats hurting your shins, but adding booster straps isn't a bad idea. if you do it enough, they will get used to it.

yeah it happens to me too, just build your calfs up

 

[CTD]

detune your tips end edges a lil, it helps keep the ski from darting off and hooking up when you pressure the tips. its key

 

[Smed193]

are u kidding me u are retarded

 

[scientist]

build up your calf muscles, and dont giver first day. build up to it and at the end of the season your caves should be so adapted/numbed from it that you could butter all day long.

 

[michael_bc]

old scratch BCs are not very good for buttering, they flex in the wrong places, it's really REALLY hard on those I've noticed.

 

[ArmadaAR4]

easy tough guy....obviously hes not kidding or he wouldnt have asked

 

[DSDS]

buttering is touch. hopefully i will nail it down this winter.
