How to Butter 180 - Snowboarding Tricks Goofy

What's up guys, Kevin here from SnowboardProCamp. In this video I'm going to teach you how to do butter 180s. 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 different snowboard skills that you can get creative with and add style to. I'm going to break this trick down into two parts, the press and the 180. I'll also show you the progression of this trick so you can practice on the flat ground, First part of this trick is getting into the press. The key to a good press is being able to move your weight around over your snowboard. For the tail press, bend your back leg and 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 a 180 in. With your upper body turned, you can now 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're 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 180s on a mellow slope dialed, you can find a small lipper roller to butter 180 off.
