There's alot of confusion surrounding the butter issue, just to clear things up i've consulted jussi and come up with a few facts.
Manuals and butters are not the same. A manual is when you lean on tips or tails and hold it or spin. This does not constitute a butter on its own.....
Butters are only truly dairy product IF they are performed before another trick. In order to get full-fatness the rotation on the butter must still be set once the second trick begins.
A butter doesent have to begin with a manual. A revert on the hit is still a butter as long as the rotation is still going as the second trick begins.
turning 180 degrees ten feet before you hit a kicker is not butter - its just gay.
Some real butter examples - Jussi oskannen in Afterbang on numerous occassions. Tanner Hall butter cliff-drop in Happy Dayz. Laim Downey has a pretty sweet simple switch butter railslide on this site which is a good example. Candide in RFA hucked butter 540.
Im sure many will disagree, but remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and im damm pretty.
