you should be able to, they are some of the softest boards out there. how much do you weigh? try to rocking forward and using that momentum to get back on your tails.

you just need to get comfortable with them, and have confidence with leaning into your butters, start off going a bit slower mabye and pressing just a bit at first...... start off trying fakie 180 tail butters, there easier to press into..... i can press the shit out of mine on the tails and bend them like a rubber band, there deffinatly flexiable in the tails....

i think it has a lot to do with how much you weight and how the skis are mounted. Fuji's usually mount more center so it should be easier if you weigh enough to compress them. My mavericks suck b/c they're so far back and i only weight 140ish

I've got the same problem, althogh I havn't really tried too hard. Mine are 169's mounted at +3cm(3.5cm back from core I think) and I weigh 150. I can lean back and get the tips up an inch or so when I'm standing still, so I see no reason why I can't do it if I throw more of my weight into it.

Yeah, I can do switch tail butters with my V-Pros, mounted way back, and they're pretty stiff, so you've got no excusses.

since everyone else chose to tell you that they can do them instead of how they do them i'll go ahead and help you out...first, just get comfortable leaning way back while pushing your heels forward and make sure you keep your knees bent...once you can do that you'll be able to get massive height with your tips then you can take it to butters and presses and such...hope that helps

the noses on fujatives are rediculously soft, they are practacally made for nose manuals, you should work on that

butters are pretty tough on any atomic ski cuz they are rather stiff

my ar5s work fine try comin in switch with your upper body half way around when you get to the part you want to begin your butter swing your upper body the rest of the way around while doin this lean really far back. iof everything works your inside edges will catch the snow and flex your skis really hard stay on your tails then lean backi real hard to spring them and pop off them if you do it well you can get quite high just flat ground.... like higher then you can jump. I cant but some one whos real good at them can switch butter 270 disaster on a down flat down that would be hot.
