Whats A Revert?

[ReedSkis~]

Heard Van Valin say it in Dew Tour Commentarywhat is it?

 

[ONTerriible]

say you land switch then while on the ground you switch back around to going forwards thats a revert

 

[Tinga]

the thing you do to catch an edge and break collar bones.

 

[anxju]

or if your reverting from switch to forwards you catch the edge and slam the back of your head into ice and get a concussion!

bad news bears.

i think hes referring to the kind that tommy wigwam did that busted his collar bone

 

[anxju]

yeah and im referring to myself

 

[doritos]

yeah i fucked up my rotator cuff that way. reverts/butters are such a foundational skill but if you catch an edge your shit gets ruined.

Its not so much a butter, but it is the same principal, usually referred to spinning quickly around from switch.
In some cases, such as a single-hit big air comp, reverts are frowned upon because they are usually from landing with little control
but
a good revert on a slopestyle run that dosen't shave a lot of speed off is great.

i dont get the name though...re-vert. i get the re part...but the vert part throws me off. i am always vertical...and at no point am i inverted...so what is this "vert"

 

[Slinger1x1]

just don't worry bout it. if you revert in a comp, you look bad
