anyone know if that would make nose butters impossible, really hard, or make no difference, or what?

It makes it easier to get up on the tips but harder to spin around.

i did them on 195 completely uncentered vintage 1980's skis and im not that good at them. i think its mroe dependant on the flex of the ski

ya my ski shop fucked up on mounting my skis and mounted them at +4.5 but i can still buter fine. it makes tail butters alot esier tho. u just need more speed and also throw ur weight into a nose butter a little more. mostly tho its the flex of the skis.

thats pretty impressive that he can butter that much on those skis.

if i tried that my shins would be done, my season would be over.

It totally depends on the flex of the ski, but my Bacons are super buttery and fun.

I don't get how mounting them back would make it easy. I'd figure it would make it a TON harder.
