Begining Stuff

butter is sliding a 360 or 180 while still on the ground or in contact with a surface.

if you can do 180s, next, find a 10 or 15 foot table and go for a 3. just keep your head tucked and keep looking till you see your landing.

you could also try doing some boxes then move on to rails. and try switch 180s and switch on to boxes.

then just keep progressing more and more

well. actualyl a butter requires you to be on either your tips or tails. hence the terms "nose butter" and "tail butter". but yeah.

just remember when you ride switch not to only turn your neck or else you'll snowplow, and look like a gaper. so pivot your feet. if you are turning left, move your left foot down the mtn. and vice versa. and also let your shoulders turn with your pivoted feet. that way you can acutally see where you are going.

and work on 180s till you are fully comfertable. then work on threes, its the same you just gotta keep your feet up longer and keep yuor head looking the direction you are spinning untill you land. dont stop it at 180 or you will stop spinning too.

yeah, once you stop looking, you stop spinning. thats just how it works. so just keep looking.

When I learned 3's they were easer off bigger jumps (30-40 feet) than I learned 180's on and when I threw in a grab (mostly tail or safety) it stabilized me and made it easier.  180's are easy off hips too.  Just throw 1's off randon shit you see when you're skiing around the mountain.

thanks, i was at the mountain near me and working on it, will have to try doing a grab while doing spin, that does sound like it would stabilize you, and i forgot to add earlier that i can do safetys (not that their overly hard, but still)
