Live Coaching: Improving Tail Butters Part 1 - Russ

snowboardaddiction.com/
Live coaching video on improving your tail butters. Our student Russ significantly improved his weak foot butters in a very short time with this guidance. He works through fixing his posture and balance on flat ground. Then moves to riding where he gets comfortable adding pop, and then adding direction by butting on his tail to switch.
In the extended version Nev goes over further tips on how to practice butter control while stationary on flat ground and Russ continues his tail butter progression by adding on 270s out. This extended version can be found at: snowboardaddiction.com/member...

These live coaching videos are more helpful than just having the experts doing the tricks effortlessly. It shows the common mistakes I also have and how to fix them. The struggles and fixes are the golden nuggets in these videos that worth the paid membership, I think.

I love your life coachings...

[@creatingwithcode1630]

Thanks Nev. I'm hooked on your videos. They've been a huge help working on my technique. Also a huge thanks to all of your guests that agree to get filmed. It's not easy putting yourself out there.

On my bucketlist to visit whistler and see NEV! Sounds lame but this dude has helped me progress my riding and its brought so much joy to my life. Day 28 on the hill tomorrow, gonna be a rare east coast pow day!

[@gavinknotz3288]

Ok you can wake up now, that doesn’t happen in the real world

[@splitzkee_]

just keeping his head up and it looked way more stable. Nev is a wizard

[@AAAAAAndreyAndreev]

Thank you for listening and doing the promo like this and not like the last lesson. Good luck

[@bv.hd883]

Dude's got a board with a flex of 2 or what 😨 haha Nice job again guys 🤙

[@Arithorath]

Another excellent video.

[@andym8131]

First time snowboarding in France this weekend, hyped! Thanks for all the beginner tips Nev, although not sure I'll be buttering just yet haha

[@georgeeeeeeeee8110]

Love it!!

[@whitesalmon0925]

that's soo good!

[@mageiraz]

5:43 not close enough 6:06 2nd time's the charm

[@clubpenguin6952]

Realmente muy bueno , las botas perfectas muy bien la calidad , muchas gracias , los recomendare

[@sany2632]

That grind

[@Official_MikeyT]

This is interesting because I ride goofy but most of my buttering is on my left rather than my right. I think that is mostly because the last time I went for a ride I was basically trying to tail block but with significant sustained forward momentum because it looked cool and was a fun balance challenge.

[@shabzone]

Man I don't know about doing these lessons on a narrow busy traverse. You got two people and the camera guy taking up like 70% of the trail.

[@LunaBread]

Nev for your burton custom , are you just using the standard reference point from Burton ? Thanks !

[@beatrispits]

I don’t get what the problem is with doing the butter higher? Imo it looks way cooler. Having the lifted part of the board super close to the ground makes it harder to tell you’re doing anything and doesn’t look nearly as impressive

[@Vtn4he]

I don’t think its a problem but dude is still learning and going higher was throwing him off balance

[@jaskamakynen7766]

too bad Russ's issue with tail butter wasn't that he starts turning frontside (right) while doing it. I constantly have that issue. With nosepress I can somehow go much better straight

[@T25de]

6:10… spray skiers

[@matthewcheung5136]

First!

[@ToejamDcheflok]

Nice trainer, nice camera work, but guys, this is literally the worst place to train. In this narrow path you are exactly the part I hate most when I go boarding. People slowly fooling around or even standing(!) in these narrow paths. Although I love 99% of your videos that one dislike is from me if someons is asking

[@roblee7489]

Agreed. Felt bad for the people trying to navigate around the teacher/student/camera guy around this narrow path.
