10 Snowboard Butter Tricks to Learn First

My Top Gear Picks

In this video we'll show you ten different butter tricks you can learn on your snowboard. We'll start with beginner butter tricks you can practice on the flat ground and progress to more advanced butter tricks. A softer flex snowboard will make learning to butter much easier. The key for learning butter tricks is moving your weight over the tail or nose of your snowboard. Next you progress with your butter by trying them on different terrain and by adding spins and twists. Butter snowboard tricks are great to learn first because you can do them on all types of terrain.

Kevin is such a calm, patient, non-poser straightforward dude, that’s in my opinion why he succeeded

It’s super helpful to see someone with skill level a bit closer to my own attempting these butters. So many of these videos have super pro level guys making difficult things look so easy. I found that I was having some trouble with these in a lot of the same ways that Chris was at first, and it was nice to hear the feedback and watch him improve. It really helped me on the hill!

Pretty sure when I was learning to snowboard I did tripod unintentionally

Man going back to this video brings me back to freshman year when I first found this channel.

When u live in Florida and binge watch snowboarding videos living vicariously through these guys cause it's hot and you know you'd be a sick snowboarder if you had snow

7:16 - This is actually a really good point. Doing drops into steeps, we used to come in switch, and roll over into our normal stance. This actually gives you a much smoother transition, especially if the drop is more than a board length, and let's you get right into a carve. You should try the tripod as a bipod with just the back hand. This is actually what we originally called a tail press.

You guys have been a massive part of my progression from day 1 to now 4 years later learning all the butters on this vid a vid like many of your others Iv rewatched countless times. I only have access to uk indoor slopes but iv finally booked my first trip to shred some real slopes in Chamonix, I’m going armed with a descent bag of tricks to send in the park thanks to snowboardprocamp so I owe you a massive thank you for helping me achieve a passion iv wanted to do since playing cool boarders and ssx as a kid like 25 years ago. 🤟

you should slow-mo some of the tricks. your explanations are great, but maybe a slowed down representation will push it to the next level?

Love how Chris suddenly pulled that nose butter 360 to backside 180 out :O

[DaltonBalkwill]

Man you got me hooked on tail presses and nose roles! Learned both in the past 2 weeks and they’re so fun! Thanks for the help!

Kevin, your style is just so smooth. I hope to be as loose and just overall as cool as you are on the mountain. I love your videos man!

This video was edited so much better than the rest, clean cuts with no dragged on awkward moments. Keep it up bro!

2:30 Penguin Walks tire me out big time! I always need to catch my breath afterwards lol. Always a sad time when you find a flat spot on a run.
