Anyone have any advice on learning how to butter? I try to put my weight into but it just doesnt work to well. Any key things to do or should i just keep working on it?
 
trick tips cult...
but put all your weight over your skis. I mean ALL of it. learn them on knuckles, they're easier
 
alright thanks dude, i had boots before that hurt pretty bad so when i put weight on my shins it was killer, but now i got some fulltilts so im pumped. Hopefully no more shin bang
 
ya make sure all your weight goes on the tips.. if you need more work geting your weight forward almost "spring" your weight forward when you go to butter and the ski will flex and spring you around.. its kinda hard to explain it by writing.. easiest way to understand is probably watching videos and analyzing how its donegoodluck
 
hhaha nice.
but what skis are you using? you really have to find that flex spot on your ski and use that. if you have stiff skis then buttering will be pretty difficult unless you turn pro or some shit
 
bend your knees and pull your knees up to your ass. feels weird and hard tog et over 3, but looks sicker and will get it around alot easier.
 
invaders have "butterzones" these are spots in the ski that consistently flex.. they are sick for buttering.. i ride anthems and they also butter perfectlyyou have good skis to be buttering around! enjoy them
 
:Learn them on mellow groomers, that's what i did and it helps so much. I just find start out doing butter 1's then so on. But first find your balance point where you feel comfortable buttering with the 1's cause then you just throw harder and harder for the bigger spinning ones.
 
ahahahahahahahha nice. just so you know, having full tilts isnt necessarily gonna prevent shin bang. booster straps or shin guards will though.
 
yeah i have the invaders and they wash ut ALL THE TIME. i hate them so much because there not my style. buttering is fun on them though
 
Agreed. Mainly cause I have seen Photoshopped pics in the "laugh you lose" thread ripped from porn with the penis's removed... that pic was the same.
 
if your trying to do good butter 3's 5's or 7's first thing you need to do is be able to spin the trick off a rolller or knuckle. after you can spin it you just kind of cork it so your tips press against the ground when you do it. kind of hard to explain but if you havent figured it out yet ill put a vid up on how to do them - well.
 
when my friend taught me he told me to kind of carve into it on a knuckle and while you are carving just put all your weight on your tips...and the rotation would come naturally

so i did and it worked
 
basically do this without the carving, just pop and when your at 90 degrees put your weight on your tips. sort of like your doing a cork.
