Is it possible? Has it ever been done and will it ever be done?

I think he is referring to a switch tail butter would be my guess.

Are you talking off a jump or just on the ground? Cause Kieran pretty much did a few in the super-flexknow edit above.

I think he means coming up to a jump and doing a tailbutter as opposed to nose.

In slushy snow I forward tail buttered an entire run. My shins broke though.

hand drag cork 3 from a Mcveigh-style tailbutter. Very possible.

tailbutters are hard to maintain while going fast though. We'll need a superhuman to try this. We'll need Delorme...

These are fairly simple to do, way easier than nosebutters, although harder to spin on Id say.

Pretty sure OP means a 360 tailbutter while skiing forwards. Doable yes but pretty fucking hard.

I can get do something a little like it but it a tailbutter 90 to back two /notreallybigclaim.

Getting from like 100 degrees to 270 without catching an edge is really hard, i've tried and eaten shit.

There's a difference between spinning on your tails and a butter. This isn't ski ballet.

It's like the people who do "nosebutters" w/o the "ollie" to their noses, they just lean forward and spin on their noses. Imo a nosebutter is a 180, land on your noses, flex, pop, 180 to forward.

But I will say the ski ballet-ness goes away when you stall the flex out like keiran does in the edit above.

the possibilities are endless with a "forward butter", linking tricks super smooth, prebanging like hornbeck does before hitting a rail, ive heard it called manual, but persoanlly like "wheelie"

then your opinion is wrong. The point of a butter is to have pressure on the ski the whole time. What you described is just doing a 180 landing on your nose, flexing and poping another 180. Like you described.

This man is correct. A nose/tail drag does not make a butter.

I agree. When you butter bread, you have to put a little pressure on the knife and smear it all around. you don't just drag the tip across once and call it good.

Delorme's tip drag 3 was cool, but keiran mcveigh was doing what I'd consider real butters.

That was just a nose drag, no pressure at all on his tips.
