yeah unless your on an actual 2x4 (its been done lol) you can butter just about any ski. each and ever faction ski including the mono ski has been used to spread some butter across the globe. sounds like you’ll be the next to do it!
 
It’s def more about the ski, champ. Most people skiiing park have well fitting boots

Its more in the boots believe it or not. You can really butter any ski if your boots fit right.

lol no they dont. park rats aren’t known for being wealthy unless its daddys money. people frequently have missing buckles, packed out liners, worn to shit heel pieces, etc.

Well lets say you have boots that dont fit well, makes buttering a challage thats a fact. If you got little 6 flex fulltilts your ganna flex the boot before the ski you dumb fuck.

Well obviously you disagree because you’re moving the goal post so that it fits your opinion. Skis have a flex pattern that can be factually measured, whereas boots have different fitment since everybody has different feet.

The list is huge… But I guess it’s just my boots not fitting right that’s causing the ski to not flex. Totally has nothing to do with the shape or the giant metal sheet inside of it. ??
 
yea we all know you have a lot of experience with little boy legs, we don’t need a reminder that you’re a pedo. [tag=288934]@PartyBullshiit[/tag] already owns that title let’s not have you join him

You should be able to butter any pair of skis, the question is how much effort do you want to put into the tip/tail to get it to flex, which in turn changes how much the ski will pop back when the butter flicks under. For example, there is a reason that a lot of kids learning butters on vishnus(other crazy flexy skis like blends have a similar problem) just do nose/tail presses while spinning but don't actually use the extra pop coming from the ski flex to do the butter pop. Whereas someone on super stiff skis has to try much harder to get the ski to flex, but once they do it usually rebounds quite a bit more actually adding a lot of pop and getting you higher off the ground. some materials/age of skis changes how much they pop as well, but generally if you have to put more force into a tip/tail to butter, then the ski will pop more because of the higher force input, and greater strength in the materials to take their original shape(straight) again. But in my experience, i've owned vishnu wets, line twalls, armada al dentes, and multiple armada pipe skis, and I have been able to butter all of them in multiple well and not well fitting boots, it is just a matter of how fast you have to be going and how hard you have to lean/push into the butter. Personally I like something that is a bit stiffer because i can hold the flex a bit longer and have more time to balance in my pop, but it really is more of a personal preference i think.
 
Facts. Line TW pro is actually a such a good ski for butters. Overall a really good park ski tbh.

It's both. Ppl need to try to butter some comp skis and then a pair of Bacons in the same day the ski makes a massive difference
 
No dude idc if the skis are made of metal or wood or other materials where flex can be scientifically measured. It’s the boots that matter the most for buttering!!!!
