watch teh video and then go practice them...practice is the only way and try and have a somewhat flexible board, makes it easierhow havent these people heard of butter tricks, maybe not freestyle people

Learning anything on a snowboard is all about finding a progression - a series of exercises which build on each other. Learning to butter your board is no different.First, try working on your weighting in a static setting (i.e. on the flat not sliding down the hill). Move your center of mass back over your back foot putting enough pressure on it to raise the nose of your board a couple of inches in the air. Practice holding that position for a few seconds. After you're comfortable holding that position, practice edging in that position - holding the nose off the snow and rocking back and forward from heels to toes and back to heels.Next, move to a gentle slope to begin practicing this move while sliding. A great way to start this is to do it switch - the nose of your board is likely to be a little longer and more felxible than the tail so learning this move switch will be a little easier at first because the nose will become the tail.Straightline down the hill and repeat the static exercise - get your weight over the tail and get the nose in the air. When you're comfortable riding in a wheelie ni a straight line, you can then move on to edging slightly to bring the nose round. Practice getting the nose round by, say, 90 degrees at first, then increase it until you're almost buttering a full 180 degrees. If you can't get all the way round, don't worry - practice finishing by popping off the tail of your board and landing flat - ride out of it and you're all set.Make sense?

i think you mean ground tricks, and a butter falls into that category. a butter is a 360 tail or nose press. to nose or tail press lean forward or backward on your snowboard, doing a wheelie type thing. keep this going and start rotating in mid press, if you're pressing high enough you wont catch an edge. once you've gone 360 you have done a butter. a nollie is like an ollie with your nose. basically you do a quick, short nose press and jump while doing it. 180s- how simple could it be? jump up and rotate one eighty then land. the difference between backside and frontside is that (if you're normal footed) frontside is counterclockwise and backside is clockwise. the opposite is true if you ride goofy360s - i cant do those of the ground, but i can sure do them off jumps and i came real close to a five one time. just a 180 except with another 180 added!there's all kind of ground tricks and some of them aren't even real tricks, experiment and you can call just about anything a ground trick

Buttering is basically rotating whilst balancing on the nose or tail of your board. Before having a go at buttering its a good idea to first learn nose and tail presses. To do this find a gentle slope and whilst in the fall line either shift your weight back to the tail of your board and lift the nose (tail press) or shift your weight to the front of the board and lift the tail ( nose press) and try and hold the postion for as long as possible. Once you have got used to this you can try buttering there are many different butter tricks as you can see from the video you posted. The easyest one to learn i would say is a frontside 180 tail press. You basically shift your weight to the tail end of the board then rotate your sholders rouned your heel edge keeping your back leg bent and try and stay on the same axis while keeping all you weight on that one foot. Hope this helps that video was great to watch, flatland tricks are underrated by alot of riders but they take alot of skill. It also helps if you have a jib board as they are usually the most flexable and the easiest to butter.
