What's up guys? Kevin here from SnowboardProCamp. In this video I'm going to teach you
how to do butter 180's .
A Butter 180 is a really fun ground trick
that you can practice all over the mountain without a terrain park. The butter 180 combines
a lot of difference snowboard skills
that you can get creative with and add style to. I'm gonna break this trick down into two
parts.
The press and the 180. I'll also show you the progression to this trick
so you can practice on the flat ground, mellow slopes
and off lips. First part of this trick is getting
into the press. The key to a good press is beeing able to move your weight around
over your snowboard. For the tail press
bend your back leg a move your weight over your tail.
Reach your back hand down towards the snow and feel the weight of the press
evenly on the side of your foot.
Having a soft snowboard or
reverse camber board will make pressing much easier.
The next part of this trick is the 180.
Start by turning your upper body to face the direction
you want to 180 in. With your upper body turned
you can twist your legs and snowboard.
This turn and twist motion will get your snowboard around quickly
and stop you from spinning past 180. It's important to turn and face your upper body
a full 90 degrees,
to be able to twist your snowboard a full 180 degrees.
To get the 180 into the air
do a small Ollie out of the tail press.
You can continue the butter 180 by landing in a press,
turning your upper body and twisting another 180.
If you're new to pressing your snowboard
you can start by practicing on the flat ground. Once you are comfortable pressing
you can add in the 180.Take this to the next level by practicing nose and tail
presses
on a mellow slope. You can also twist your board 180
as you ride to get used to the twisting motion.
Once you have butter 180's on a mellow slope dialed you can find a small lip or roller
to butter 180 off. If you guys have any questions or tips for this trick
you can leave them in the comments section.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next trick video.
