So how exactly are you supposed to butter on skis? Is it only on your tails/toes or is it also the same thing as floating a 360?
 
 
why do you guys have to be such a dick to him. all he wanted was a little advice. yet another example of the fine people here on NS.
 
none of those five threads really directly answer his question though. No, a butter is not the same as a floating 360. It's done on your tips/tails.
 
a simple answer leads to a dead thread..

For nose butters: i start forward into a rail and lean my weight forward and on the inside edge of the way i spin(ie. spin left, weight goes left) and then pop off the nose of your skis, basically a hop. and land on rail/box/whatever.

For tail butters: i start switch and do basically the same thing as the nose butter but i put the weight in the backseat as i come around from switch to foward and then pop off my heels and land on rail/box.

now granted this can vary for other people. try out some different ways and whatever feels comfortable... and if you have a stiff ski.. shin bang will occur.. softer skis work well.. i have the TMs and they butter nicely.
 
i read his post. instead of taking the time to grab 5 links though from the search bar he could have just answered the question. it would have been a lot easier.
 
buttering is when you get your weight over the front or back of your skis so that they flex and your foot lifts off the snow. the best way to do it is to slightly carve into the direction you want to spin.

and all you pricks who scream search bar are losers who spend too much time on the internet. if ur not gonna answer the question dont click on the thread. theres only so many things to talk about in skiing, if they never repeated this forum would die prettty fast.
 
im not a big fan of tail butters onto rails. Some people can make em look good but most people really only revert infront of the rail and dont use the butter to ollie. Im working on nose butters onto rails and they're pretty tricky. Im really light and small so i cant really get a good pop off of my nose to get on the rail well.
 
you guys should calm down. you act like bitches cause you see a thread on butters no reason to spaz. you have been freaking out about search bar forever and things havent changed and there will constantly be kids not using it.

big deal.
 
What the fuck do you get by making yourself angry over a thread !? Cant you just fucking ignore it ? You have that option ! If you go out of your way to bitch about a thread then its your problem not whoever posted it !
 
im pretty sure thats because they look so easy, so people half ass them and make em look like shit. i se that so much and i wanna say somthing, but i dont wanna spend time telling other people what they are doing wrong when i could ski.
 
i can only like spin butter over bumps.

i just like go switch without popping just leaning forward and and it kinda completes its self.

on my old ar5's i could like manual? i guess like ride on my tails for a bit
