I heard someone call a butter with a daffy a French Toast. Is that right? I also wanted to know what a butter when you cross your tips and hand drag is called (see TJ Schiller in Seven Sunny Days)
no idea about the daffy thing
as for schiller, it seriously looks like an accident that his ski tips ended up crossing, dont think he really meant to do that
well the overall trick wasnt a mistake, it's just that we have a super high-res slow motion view of it and it seriously looks as though his tips crossed by accident
but yah, def stomped, when that footy first came out it pretty much blew my head off
Yeah I agree the overall trick was not a mistake, but to be honest I think the crossing the tips thing might not have been a mistake either. I will have to rewind that section and really try to see if the tip just slips over the other or not. Either way I tried doing it last season several times... it did not work out so well.
If you want an example I think it was Jacob that did it in CLAIM, and it is a daffy butter, that is the best way of describing it. he goes over a rise, turns 90 degrees and does a butter with the tip of one ski and the tail of another and then lands switch... it looks way gnarly.
What you're describing sounds like an iron cross turned on it's side.... a daffy is when you cross your legs, old school style.... I don't really see how what you described relates, but it's damn cool anyways.
two different tricks, an iron cross while hand dragging 360, and then a butter as described in my comment to Powderbro above and again below
the "daffy butter" or possibly what is called a French toast is done over a rise. The rider turns 90 and butters with one tip and one tail then lands switch
Maybe we can all agree to at least stick with breakfast foods, besides, breakfast has so many delicious treats like a Large Prune Danish, and French Toast. Perhaps we shall call the iron cross 360 butter a Buttered Crumpet, yes?
I'll be honest, I was totally thnking Croissant because it's French, and goes along nicely with French Toast. So how about a butterd Croissant (and of course a 180 in this case)? I feel that roles off the tongue a little nicer. and a daffy butter sounds good, but I do like French Toast, it just sounds super ridiculous as already stated, quite irrelevant indeed, but silly and fun too.
tj's iron cross 360 butter looks totally unplanned when he pops the left ski looks like its draggin in the snow and that creates the cross the rest is intentional, to bad tj isn't a reg on ns or we could just ask.
