I currently carve into a 180 then basically nose manual for a bit, hoping that I don't wash out and then I revert back round once I've gotten all the chicks numbers on hill. When I try to hop into it I just catch edge and die

pls giv me the tip

Looks like some quality tutorials on that channel... rare to find a good skier giving out info so readily.

"All of my video tutorials are based on 16 years of freestyle skiing and its now 9 years ago i first started coaching freestyle. Over the years I have witnessed many people attempt tricks they had not yet built up the skill level for and as a consequence, crashed and seriously damaged their confidence and in some cases their body. This is the problem we want to solve by breaking down tricks in natural step by step exercises or tricks."

You're currently carving 180s, so take it up a notch and carve 360s in the snow. You should be able to do this pretty easily. The next step is instead of spinning with your weight centered, drive all the weight to your nose from the get go, do all this paired with the spinning motion you were doing while doing 360s. To avoid catching any edges, make sure you pop once you hit about 180, the spinning motion will propel you back to regular forwards position.

It also make a big difference on the type of snow you're doing them on. Spring slush and packed powder is a lot easier than when it's hard packed and icy.


Good luck.

do them unnatural, it helps me get more "corked". Also having an obstacle to butter over, or pretending theres one helps me a lot too

Like the way you explained this. I actually found it easier to learn carve 360 on icy hard pack than slush. Wonder if my skis are short and flexi enough to get it?

I finnally learned them this year, for starters I'd find a small but poppy bump or knuckle and come into it at medium speed, as you come into the transition of it just quickly start your rotation and lean forward and foccus all your weight over the tips of your skis, pointing your arms towards the tips seems to help to. Good luck and have fun.

No you're correct, carving 360s on ice is easier than on slush. It's nose buttering that is easier on slush.

If your skis are stiffer, try to find a nice roller to do them off.

Tight boots, you must be able to control the ski. I started by putting pressure on my toes and povoting on flat ground, then took it to a small roll, then larger etc, but once you feel comfortable putting pressure forward and turning at the same time add more pressure, lean body into it, and keep your shoulders straight with your skis. Speed is important, but practice tweaking the way you do things can change wether you catch an edge or nit needs practice.

Definitely a problem I have right now is toe bang. So I dont think it will work for me without new boots or at least new liners. Don't think my boots have ever fit quite right though so looking forward to a major performance boost with a new pair for next season!

find a nice headwall or something
approach
spin 180 and press your nose
then you will be airborn
spin until you see the landing
be sure to land with steeze
and dont forget to smile for the ladies after your impressive show of talent.

I think its completely backwards to that easy to butter on ice, easy to carve in slush...

I wouldnt say it is a MUST, but if definitely makes buttering a more comfortable experience. I got fitted for new boots this season, and I was amazed how much easier and less painful butters became.

Get Full Tilts


Go get fitted properly by a reputable boot fitter in your area, Don't worry about what brand your buying.
If you are fitted by someone who knows what they're doing then just take the boots that fit you best and you'll get more performance out of them than any poorly fitting full tilts.

That said, if full tilts fit you best, buy them and have all the panties dropping left right and centre on the hill while you butter past at mach 5

Make sure that your edges are dulled all the way up your ski and don't be afraid to just go fast and commit your entire weight onto your tips

Yeah you wanna have a good amount of pressure on your noses throughout the entire butter. You've really just gotta send it as soon as you start turning the first 180 and lean a lot on the noses. You might eat it a couple of the first times that you try it but then when you finally stick it it's dope
