Nose butters

[BCKicker540]

when you do nose butters, do you keep your legs locked straight or do you bend them. keeping them straight seems to work the best but it kills my heels

 

[scientist]

well then maybe you need some boots that fit properly.

 

[BCKicker540]

yea im going boot hunting today, im hoping spks fit me well, maybe ski market has some old 1080 or foil boots

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

how come your heels hurt?

I dont get it. are you sure youre nose buttering?

haha.... but for real, SPK.

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

bent then straightish i go from bent to more straight

 

[chazz.]

i bend my legs a little and force my shins into the front of my boots

 

[shea.]

Def bend those knees, it helps me get over the tips better. i had real short skis like 160 cause my sister never used them, then when i got my new 170 somethings from armada i thought i lost the abilty to nose butter but if you bend ur knees and force urself over the tips it helps you get higher, rather than having ur tails like an inch off the ground. and ur heels hurting prolem... no idea ur boots must b bad. i had hard as boots and they always used to kill me big toe when buttering but now i got softer ones and i never have a problem anymore.

Just get whatever boots fit. Whatever boots fit the best, you will ski the best in.

Why would it hurt your heels if you're doing a nose butter?

 

[SEskier]

If your boots don't lock your heels down properly they can move out of place when buttering, sometimes painfully.

 

[theres_ghosts]

i keep them more bent and just lean

straight legs for long butters, bent for shorter and hgher butters

 

[Lineskiah11]

sometimes my heel hurts with that too but i broke mine pretty bad like 3 years ago and now my bone kind of sticks out a little bit from my foot so when it moves just a little inside my boot it can hurt

 

[tjski]

for long butters straight (like the kid abouve said), and then if you want to pop off of butters you want to bend your legs then go straight to pop..

i unno i dont think bout that stuff i just do srry

 

[-+Siver+-]

for some reason i just find it so much easier to do nose butters than just regular butters

 

[Jwalk]

i find there easier with a bit of speed

 

[bbtkd1]

nose butters are cool to watch

 

[spliff.Life]

i kinda bend, and flex to keep the skis stiff and from crossing
