Is buttering the next level for freeskiing ?

I find them EXTREMELY nice to watch and actually really fun to do (I talk about butter 3, 5 at my level).
We've been seeing them since several years, the first one which really caught my eye was Chris Benchetler's in 2010 (1min50).

Is buttering becoming a trend, like flat spins were not so long time ago, or is buttering really a movement that lets further room to innovation ? I'd love to discuss this on NS.
Harlaut actually took the level two steps higher by stomping a triple... but I think there's still a lot to in doubles and even "singles".

Creativity is the next level. Henrik was creative. With a butter of course. I just like to sit back and watch.

I haven't seen many "singles" with butters but I think they look much cooler than with a dub. When it's thrown with a dub it looks like it just makes the rotation easier.

well said. its not necessarily a linear progression, its more of a variation of a trick that just adds to whatever the trick is. at least the way i see it

I agree that it does looks better with other tricks but it almost is in a way, a linear progression because its definately getting a lot more popular

Is the fact that Harlaut stomped it influential ?

I think hand drags are, people have been doing butters for years. You don't often see someone do a hand drag cork 9 or hand drag double.
