Nose butters on snowflex are possible

I wanted to try nose buttering the jump at Woodward but apparently nobody had tried it before so I gave it a shot...and it works! Its definitely a bit sketchier as its harder to modulate your speed/spin on snowflex. Also, your skis tend to try and come out from under you but this naturally helps set for a cork (or even underflip).

If you get over there, give it a shot! Just be careful not to set too early, you're more likely to hit your head as your feet come out from under you pretty easily.

Flat 5 at woodward with 'unconventional' grab

Uploded this 'casue ElohJay asked about setting flats and I've got a clip in super slo-mo which helps to learm a lot (IMO).

The set for a Flat is basically a Lincoln but you rotate and look over your shoulder in the direction you're spinning.

But.. its kind of different to a bunch of other tricks in that you let the jump set a lot of the flip.

One of the most important things with a flat is too let the jump take your lower body up from under you; you've got to be patient off the take-off. If you look at my body position at take-off I'm not upright, my body's in-line with the jump.

Hope this helps.
