Just lean hard and prespin a bit, use the flex from the lean to pop and finish your rotation.

Just put your weight forward like you would on any other ski. The flex is mostly right before the tip and tail on the binding side of the contact point from the camber. They are rather buttery though so if you are use to a stiffer ski then take note of that.

Stiffer boots help you put more pressure onto your tips. Also having strong legs.

No, they build hinges into the ski to make it flex easier. By removing the top sheet you can either make the ski really stiff or like a noodle then just put the top sheet back on. Trust me, I'm sponsored by Line and i'm the best skier on the mountain.

afterbangs have major quality issues and the quality is very hit or miss. i snapped two pairs of afterbangs in about a month when i had some in 2011. i am not sure if the quality has improved or not but they are kinda sketchy skis

break them in. A LOT.

nosebutters:
nollie as big as you can, use that momentum to glide a 180 on your tips, then pop

tailbutters:
lots of speed, prespin from switch, stay as backseat as possible, flex the shit out of this one cuz you can, pop

This. I've owned 3 pair and warrantied 2 of them. They really aren't that good of skis man, they are heavy, get water logged, and the quality is shit. You can find something better.

As for buttering just play around with it and commit to leaning into the tips enough to flex them.

If you peel back the top sheets to adjust the hinges they won't warranty them, sorry.

You should be able to warranty through Line, they have been cool every time I have dealt with them about warranty issues. I'm sure eve have a decent return policy if the skis are unmounted and new, not sure if they would actually warranty anything though

Definitely some great skis for buttering just lean in to that spin hard. toes down heels up. If you think you have gone far enough keep going.

Afterbangs, wanting Full Tilts, damn you're so 12. Just go to a boot fitter and get the boot he says will fit your foot. Full Tilts won't make you ski like Wallisch...

Contact evo. They will contact line for you. Tey need to be les then a year old an you need you proof of purchase. It's much easie to do if you buy from a shop so next time but local rate ten off the web. But for now just contact evo.
