Snowboard Tricks - Butters

Butter is an interesting ground trick that entails making a series of 360-degree turns. This can be done on a moderate slope in which speed and moves can be built up. Moreover, other Snowboarding Skills can be incorporated in this trick. In this section, learn how to perform basic Butters:

	STEP 1: Find a moderate slope with as little human traffic as possible. Start riding straight downhill.
	STEP 2: Make a turn using your board's tail as the pivot point. Lean backwards and shift your weight on your back foot. Elevate the nose of your board and start turning.
	STEP 3: Continue to turn with the board's nose in the air. Do not elevate it too high so you will be able to maintain your balance and avoid falling over.
	STEP 4: Put the board's nose down halfway through the turn. At this point, make a ground spin to finish the turn.
	STEP 5: Continue the ground spin until you reach your original position.
	STEP 6: You have now completed the basic Butter.

Keep on practicing until you get comfortable doing the basic Butter. Once you get used to performing it, you can move on to other Snowboarding Tricks.
