360 butters -- tips-

New topic -- any tips on how to rock butter all the way around 360? 

board I've actually been thinking on this very thing. The concept I came up with involved pretty much practicing doing 180 butters while switch, and then once comfortable, just transitioning from one to the other. Like, do a 180 butter from regular, once you've completed it instantly shift to the new front and do another. I don't think it's possible to do an entire spin from the same pivot point while traveling down the mountain.

It might require learning to do your switch butters pivoting off the heelside to make it look smooth.

I've just been conceptualizing though, no real-world experience

just whip it around and see if you fall, eventually you will learn the balance necessary


The regular tail to nose to reg works better for me

hmmm ... i think i get it.  kinda like planting the edge and then giving you somewhere to push off from to continue the rotation .... right?

Alright, i'm half asleep...but heres how I've gotten around to doing them.

First, get comfortable just spinning around on the ground in one direction. Like be able to do two complete spins without thinking with the board flat.

Then, start doing one of these (I'm regular and do this...frontside? Whatever I start turning with my back foot and have that go around...) and then basically do a press on it for a full rotation until you're switch.

When comfortable with that, just do it...and hold the press and swing the front leg around again. Make sure you change edges, otherwise it hurts.

I doubt that made any sense...but who knows.

been working on it too... have the same problem of going after the 180. thanks for the tips guys. 

I need to work on my flat work too...but my board is pretty darn stiff...

One of my co-workers does continuous butters like in that video. He calls it "buttering the muffin" 

practice practice practice
