Snowboarding Tricks - Butters1
 |
STEP 1: Find a moderate slope with as little human traffic as possible. Start riding straight downhill. |
 |
STEP 2: Lift the back of the board and pivot off the front to turn the back to the front. |
 |
STEP 3: Continue to turn with the board's nose in the air. Do not elevate it too high so you will be able to maintain your balance and avoid falling over. |
 |
STEP 4: Put the board's nose down halfway through the turn. At this point, make a ground spin to finish the turn. |
 |
STEP 5: Continue the ground spin until you reach your original position. |
 |
STEP 6: You have now completed the basic Butter. |

haha, I did this one all the way down a run on the last day of boarding last winter. It's so much fun once you get the hang of it.

I can''t get the word BUTTER out of my head. I will be doing this all weekend on my new burton hero.

so...
do butter start with riding fakie?
since I saw the animation for ollies and wheelies performed with left foot forward.

No you don't have to start with riding fakie. It's just an animation so you can see it clearer.
I would assume it's different for everyone but if you're a regular, it would probably be best to start with that stance first.

I love the animation. Is it really as easy as he makes it look?
Friday 13th November 2009 at 5:25:11 AM
there easier to start by riding switch just dig your forward heal in if your goofy and your spin back really easily!

Does it matter which way to spin? Like, I''m a regular, does it make a different if I spin clockwise or counter-clockwise?
