Butters in Snowboarding

Reviewer The cleanest, most systematic butter lesson here - every variation gets the same clear breakdown.

Moderator Nothing but butters - this is step six of a dedicated series, entirely about layering rotation/direction onto tail and nose butters. Completely on-topic, no filler.

Reviewer This is the one to start with — builds you up properly and flags the actual mistakes beginners make.

Moderator Squarely and thoroughly about buttering — starts at static presses, builds to moving presses, then into first butter tricks, explicitly naming common mistakes at each stage. Comprehensive coverage of the sub-skill.

Reviewer The 'lock and lean' cue alone is worth the watch - fixes the instinct that trips up every beginner.

Moderator Entirely about learning your first butters - what a butter is, why it's useful, terrain selection, then a full breakdown of tail press and nose press. No detours.

Reviewer Thorough, well-sequenced, actually teaches you to fix your own mistakes.

Moderator Specifically nose butters -- press vs. pop-180 style, hip position, gaze, edge control.

Reviewer Names the exact mistake that turns your butter into a turn — genuinely useful detail.

Moderator Builds directly on basic butter position into the moving/riding version — hips past the back foot, keep the tail flat, avoid engaging edges, follow the fall line. Squarely on-skill and clearly part of a structured progression.

Reviewer Well-structured progression — follow it in order and you'll actually get somewhere.

Moderator Squarely and comprehensively about buttering progression — flat ground fundamentals, moving to a mellow slope, adding rotation, then adding air off rolls/knuckles. Full-arc coverage of the sub-skill.

Reviewer Watch a real fix happen in real time -- head up, then hips into the nose, and it visibly clicks.

Moderator Live 1-on-1 coaching entirely focused on tail butters -- specifically diagnosing and fixing a weak-side imbalance. Every minute of this is the subskill in action.

Reviewer Explains the actual weight-shift mechanics, not just 'watch me do it' - good starting point.

Moderator Entire video is the five foundational butter/press variations - tail press, nose press, bagel, pretzel, tripod. Nothing else competing for airtime. This is the sub-skill, wall to wall.

Reviewer Calls out the exact mistake that makes people skid instead of butter, with a cue that'll actually stick.

Moderator Squarely a tail-butter lesson from a credible pro rider — get low, bend the knees, shift weight to the tail, steer with the back leg. All on-skill.

Reviewer Breaks the trick into two learnable pieces instead of just showing the whole thing and saying 'go do that.'

Moderator Squarely focused on one core butter trick — breaks the butter 180 into the press component and the rotation component, with a practice progression from flat ground to a roller. Directly on-topic.

Reviewer Solid trick-by-trick breakdown — useful whether you're on trick one or six.

Moderator Squarely and comprehensively about butters — ten specific tricks (tail press through butter spin) each with the key technique cue, best terrain to practice on, and board recommendation. Exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Real coaching - isolates the hard part and explains the why, not just the what.

Moderator Whole video is a breakdown of a specific butter combo (the Owen), built entirely from butter fundamentals - back nose press, front tail press, nose press spin. Narrower than 'butters' broadly (one named combo) but everything taught is butter technique in service of that combo.

Reviewer Solves the exact mistakes that wreck a first butter attempt.

Moderator Directly on-skill: find your comfortable leg, lean uphill across the fall line to avoid catching an edge, build momentum for a wind-up turn. All three tips are butter-specific.

Reviewer Systematic, builds on a clear prerequisite chain, includes the catch-an-edge caution that actually matters.

Moderator Nev Lapwood / Snowboard Addiction, explicitly 'step six' of a structured buttering curriculum -- adding rotation to nollie/ollie butters using arm and shoulder momentum, with separate frontside/backside variations for both tail and nose butters, plus the specific caution about edge pressure to avoid catching an edge. Entirely on topic.

Reviewer Good coaching: find your stronger foot, get flat-ground spins clean first, belly button over the back binding, pull the lead leg. Use a slightly steeper run so you don't catch an edge.

Moderator Step-by-step butter tutorial: find your stronger foot, get flat-ground spins solid first, then start pressing with your belly button over the back binding and the lead leg pulled up. Squarely butters.

Reviewer Good first drill, just don't expect more than the basics here.

Moderator Explicitly the entry point for buttering — get weight even, feel the board underneath you, press and hold. On-skill and appropriately basic.

Reviewer Good advice, just a repeat — and it reads like an AI-reposted duplicate of his other clip.

Moderator Word-for-word the same three tips as his other upload — still squarely on-skill regardless of the repost.

Reviewer The 'belly button over the foot' cue is a keeper -- simple and it transfers across tricks.

Moderator Structured run through five butters of increasing difficulty -- tail/nose press, side press, stop-270, layback -- each with the actual mechanism (move your center of mass/belly button over the working end of the board). On topic and clearly a deliberate progression.

Reviewer Good starting checklist, not a deep dive on any one trick.

Moderator Squarely about foundational buttering technique — weight placement over the tips, finding terrain that helps you get pressure into the board, gear (soft flex), and commitment. General but on-topic.

Reviewer Clear weight cues per trick and a smart flat-ground practice tip -- solid intro.

Moderator This is the core content of the subskill -- five specific butters (tail press, nose press, 360 spin, tripod, nose-drag pop) with a clear stated purpose of being the on-ramp into buttering generally. On topic throughout.

Reviewer One real tip per trick, useful if you already speak the trick vocabulary.

Moderator Five distinct butter/combo tricks (cab three off a switch tail press, nollie tail drag, front 360 nose roll, back 180 tail drag to switch back one tail drag, MFM). All butters, all the video.

Reviewer Solid foundation: exaggerate the weight shift, reach opposite the press, add the edge lift once you're moving. The bar drill is a smart way to feel it. Wordy, but right.

Moderator Explains butters from the ground up: presses versus butters (a press on an edge), nose and tail, heel side and toe side, and how to practise the weight shift on a bar before taking it onto snow. Squarely butters.

Reviewer Good core cue (weight from your belly button), buried in some rambling.

Moderator Entirely about butters -- board camber, weight commitment, practice approach.

Reviewer Good menu of tricks to aim for, but light on how to actually get there.

Moderator Squarely about butter tricks — presses, spinning butters, butter 180s, tripods, and laybacks, each with a quick key cue. On-topic list format.

Reviewer Good specific coaching if you've already got the prerequisites down.

Moderator The hot garbage/blunt is a specific butter-family trick (tail-drag + tweaked backside shifty over a roller), so it's squarely within the sub-skill even though it's a narrower, named trick rather than general buttering.

Reviewer Correct mechanism, explained with more repetition than it needs.

Moderator Same conceptual territory as directional butters -- edge selection (toe vs heel) and upper-body wind-up/release to initiate rotation, worked through for both tail and nose butters in both directions. On topic throughout, if slightly less crisply organized than the Snowboard Addiction version of this same lesson.

Reviewer More 'watch me attempt it' than 'here's how' - some good cues if you dig for them.

Moderator Same format as the advanced video, five specific hard combos (180-swivel-revert combo, cab 270 to nose blunt, switch butter, MFM 270, 'hdor butter'). Squarely butters throughout, including a closing note on how board flex/shape affects buttering.

Reviewer Good technique, but it turns into a product plug by the end.

Moderator Three genuinely butter-specific tips — weight transfer via belly button over the chosen foot, keeping upper and lower body connected, and picking grippy terrain. On-skill throughout.

Reviewer Useful tool tip, but the actual technique explanation is thin.

Moderator On-skill — introduces the core butter concept (pressure transfer foot to foot) and a legitimate practice method (dry slope mats) for someone without easy snow access.

Reviewer Simple, honest offseason drill that actually builds the movement you need for butters.

Moderator This is squarely offseason training for butters and presses - the guy's working the exact weight-shift mechanics (hips over nose, hips over tail) that flexing the board for a butter depends on. It's the right movement, just trained off snow.

Reviewer Same content as the fuller '10 tricks' video, just a shorter, less complete cut.

Moderator Squarely about butter tricks — covers front side nose roll 180, butter 180, and nose roll 360 — but as 'Part 2' it picks up mid-list without any of the foundational press instruction, so on its own it's a narrower slice of the sub-skill.

Moderator Five quick tips for learning butters: balanced stance with bent knees, master carving first, practise presses, pivot heel to toe in one motion, keep the downhill edge up through each 180. Squarely butters, in checklist form.

Reviewer Correct and in the right order (carve, press, pivot heel to toe, keep the downhill edge up) but it tells you what to work on, not how.

Reviewer Right order of moves: heel-side skid, stacked over the front foot, nollie, counter-rotate, spot your landing. It's quick and assumes you can already nose press and nollie.

Moderator A nose butter 270 out (the 'pretzel'): heel-side skid, stack over the front foot, nollie pop and counter-rotate around. One specific nose-butter variation, not general butter technique.

Reviewer Fun to watch, thin on actual how-to -- you won't learn the mechanics from this alone.

Moderator Five distinct butters demonstrated and named -- euro revert, spray butter, heel-to-nose press revert, layback, tail block. Entirely on-topic, just presented as a highlight reel rather than a lesson.

Reviewer One decent cue buried in a lot of trick-showing, not much real breakdown.

Moderator Same rider, same topic -- strictly butters, several variations shown back to back, all on-topic.

Reviewer Right cue: turn your head and shoulders further than for a 180 and let the feet follow. Short, and it takes for granted that you can butter.

Moderator One butter variation, the butter 360 out, with the cue to turn your head and shoulders much further than for a 180 out. Part of a longer 'tricks for any run' video. Assumes you can already butter.

Reviewer Might be fun to watch, but there's no coaching here -- no breakdown of how to actually do it.

Moderator Title and description are squarely on-topic -- gratori is a real named butter/flat-ground trick -- but the transcript is 100% song lyrics with zero spoken instruction, so I can't confirm from the words alone how much of the footage is teaching versus just a trick reel set to music.

Reviewer Tells you what to practice, not how to do it - long on jokes, short on mechanics.

Moderator Whole video is framed around buttering - terrain choice, speed control, working tail/nose butter before combos. All on-topic, just delivered through a lot of banter.
