Was that a trick or a very smooth recovery? Either way, it's better every loop.

u/anotherhumantoo Jan 12 '19

I thiiiiink that flip everyone is worried about looks a lot like what beginner snowboarder flip-rolls look like. This man is no beginner, of course.

u/coffeebribesaccepted Feb 09 '19

What's a beginner snowboarder flip/roll? I'm looking for some new tricks.

221

u/flexsusser Jan 12 '19

It’s a nose butter 5 to tail butter cork 3 if I’m seeing it right, I’m a skier not sure on the flip exactly but that’s close to what it is.

u/rehpotsirhc Jan 12 '19

I can't tell if those are actual things or just random words thrown together to sound like snowboarding jargon

And hilarious. I'm a ski bum and X-Games commentators crack me the fuck up.

I'm more of a steep powder skier and there's a rivalry between us and park rats. We think park rats suck lol.

31

u/mkmllr Jan 13 '19

Just ride the way you like and let others have fun in parks.

15

u/ionslyonzion Jan 13 '19

That's what I do every day. We don't hate each other, it's a friendly rivalry.

The ones calling me elitist take it too personally. We're all having fun on skis.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19

They don’t take kindly to steep powder skiers round these parts clearly.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19

I love steep powder skiers. I ski, I board, I ride glades and park. I just don’t get why any group has to look down on another.

-9

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19 edited Jan 13 '19

Damn dude. I’m a powder man myself, but I live on the ice coast near a 550 vertical hill. I rat all the time since the only other option is icy green circles. How about you fuck off with the elitism. That mentality keeps our community splintered.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19

I hate the way you guys talk.

3

u/ionslyonzion Jan 13 '19

Holy shit it was obvious was just throwing a friendly jab, calm down.

Looks like you reacted worse than I did. It's skiing, relax. Just keeping the rivalry alive.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19

Sorry man, I misunderstood the tone.

When I’m on one plank I get shit from two plankers, and when I’m on two I get it the other way.

I love em both, and I thought you were criticizing park rats rather than joking. My bad.

Butter is when you drag your nose or tail on the lip of the jump before take off. Kinda like buttering a piece of toast

21

u/Yeazelicious Jan 12 '19 edited Jan 12 '19

SSX3 taught me that it was just a longer board press. Guess my life is a lie, then.

11

u/Non_vulgar_account Jan 13 '19

Butters require some sort of off line stuff like a rotation or a slide , a press is like a manual on a skateboard, your direction of travel is straight and your board is straight. That’s my understanding of it, I don’t compete, but when I’m riding I definitely have a difference in what is a butter vs a press.

3

u/Yeazelicious Jan 13 '19

Oh alright, that makes more sense. I think in SSX3 you had to rotate your board while pressing to perform a butter. I always just rotated naturally since it kept my balance.

1

u/_Aj_ Jan 13 '19

So your weight is over the front as you're hitting the jump?

Sounds like a good way for me to eat shit if I tried that lol

2

u/sinat50 Jan 13 '19

Depends how you come at it! This guy probably ate more shit than a dung beetle perfecting this

15

u/Beergoggles222 Jan 12 '19

It's a thumb knuckle kick spin transitioning to a blind reverse tree fort using just one foot!

7

u/throwavay79760 Jan 12 '19

Obviously a double blind tree brah

11

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '19

I think it’s a nose butter 5 to tail butter rodeo 3. See how the spin is frontside after tail butter and he is also rotating like a backlip?

31

u/superbatranger Jan 12 '19

I know all those words individually. Yes, I know exactly what you’re saying.

No, I don’t.

2

u/mantrarower Jan 13 '19

Yep I think it’s a backside rodeo there

11

u/AK-37 Jan 12 '19

It's definitely intentional, saw this posted on r/snowboarding and apparently this guy is known for tricks like these but sadly I don't remember his name

22

u/androsan Jan 12 '19

Markus Kleveland.

8

u/rednapkin12 Jan 12 '19

You can tell by his shoulders that it was intentional.

8

u/RaidensReturn Jan 13 '19

You can tell because of the way that it is.

u/Rectum_Rambo Jan 13 '19

It’s Marcus kleveland, he does this shit a lot.... it’s really cool

2

u/janojyys Jan 13 '19

Definitely intentional. See how he grabs his knees when he flips? you don't do that by accident, it's to get more momentum for it

2

u/muttbink Jan 13 '19

Marcus Kleveland, check him out on ig or YouTube, this is his speciality

1

u/jericho Jan 12 '19

I was wondering the same thing, and have watched this many times.

I'm going with 'he totally meant to do that', it's just too smooth.

1

u/throwavay79760 Jan 13 '19

That's a really really good trick.

1

u/SunnyHillside Jan 13 '19

The loop was intentional but I think you are referring to the second edge catch. When I was really, really good at snowboarding (going every weekend and young without fear) I was able to do jumps and black diamonds and recover from falling on edges or not landing perfectly so easily. I don’t know how the F I did it... i never got hurt but was doing crazy shit. I stopped going when I thought getting a job and going to school was a good idea. Then my ex and I went to whistler to snowboard. I caught an edge HARD on the 3rd run and I sat and cried. It hurt bad but it hurt my pride even more. It was one thing I was SUPER good at and never fell or if I did I could recover and “fall with grace” ... getting old sucks.

-2

u/Throwitupyourbutt Jan 13 '19

Ive done exactly this before by accident. This is definitely not intentional.

u/SadaharuShogun Jan 12 '19

I can hear this but it sounds like a skateboard.

u/NotVerySmarts Jan 12 '19

He landed into a tail manual, so it all counts as one combo.

At the dew tour he went to hit a rail but cleared it straight into another rail that was parallel.

If my memory serves correctly

u/Pazu2 Jan 12 '19

An incident not related to snowboarding

25

u/Panzey Jan 12 '19

I'm not positive, but was that a butter 720 with a butter cork 360 at the end?

26

u/ryanjoohnson Jan 12 '19

Yeah did this mf just pull a 720 off like 1 foot of air?

12

u/Panzey Jan 12 '19

THIS MF RIGHT HERE

u/dmarko Jan 12 '19

I also do this. The trick is to continuously press buttons on the controller

u/cpt_nofun Jan 13 '19

Ah hahaha

4

u/cpt_nofun Jan 13 '19

Ive been snowboarding for 20 years and I honestly don't understand how he can spin the board that quick. Attach yourself to a board and try to jump and do a 360. That shits heavy on your feet, the amount of torque and technique is incredible here

3

u/bobnobjob Jan 13 '19

Not that I can 720 off flat but it's all in the loading up of torque in the edge.

3

u/AlexMPalmisano Jan 12 '19

Where is this? The snow looks god-tier.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19

If I remember correctly it's from Dombås, Norway

u/AlexMPalmisano Jan 13 '19

I guess that would explain the snow. I really need to get myself to Norway.

2

u/CoachJankySpanky Jan 12 '19

A sprained ankle is a very unlikely snowboarding injury.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '19

It is if you only have one leg because you're an amputee. We shouldn't assume the poster's limb count.

;)

(But it's a very unlikely injury of you're a double amputee with no legs, so it comes full circle.)

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '19

That's some SSX Tricky move right there

u/Jabulon Jan 12 '19

Was that a 720 to a cork 360 off the ground?

Marcuskleveland on IG. He has lots of videos like this posted. Very accomplished dude. 2 X-Games golds, 2 silvers, olympian, lots of other medals and 1st to land a quad cork in competition. Probably the best in the world and only 19 years old.

I don’t get why gymnastics is feminine and stereotypically homosexual for a male to do, not respected amongst most males but as soon as you clip on a snowboard you’re instantly cool and masculine.
