go to www.4bi9media.com and buy their movie "Look It Up".

as for buttering, just try it, see how they do it in videos and just give'er.

Also stiff skis will make buttering tough, like the volkl walls, are terrible for buttering.

its super tough, but practice...

dont be afraid to fall is the most important thing. Second, dont try to do it slowly when youre not good at it. You need momentum and you need to know how it feels when you start to pop out of the butter.
Find a nice smooth short roller.
start by learning nollie 180s.
then, instead of nollying, do the whole 1 on your tips.
as soon as youre comfortable with that, bust out some more rotation and commit to it.

I fell and fall alot buttering... I started on rollers, then moved to some other kind of stuff. tail butters are super fun.

SUPer hard on stiff skis though, im not sure how some of those guys do it.

Im trying to learn how off jumps... anyone got tips for that?

my heels usually rise up in my boots, any ideas of how to fix this? My boots are tightened all the way down and are a little small even.

if they rise more than a eight of an inch you need better fitting boots. smaller or a different foot shape.

Lean forward like a mafakka, press your tips down and spin it. Once you get it, its easy.
