The way I do it, I push my torso back to keep all my weight pretty close to the tails of my skis and then do half an Ollie. So I lift up with my knees and push my heels forward so I’m not relying on just my weight to flex the ski.

jesus christ just lean back kook

Pre pop, then tail butter to remove some of that stress off the shins

I've tried; obviously not enough :). When I try to torque back on the skis my mind fights me because it hurts (pushes toes into the front of a tight boot). Terrible technique probably doesn't help; just looking for ideas to speed up the learning.

Honestly it does wonders if you just have softer skis. I can guarantee you you won’t have this issue if you had Vishnus or something, no ski has softer tails than those.

Step one: buy on3ps

If your boots fit right, there shouldn't be any foot problems doing butters. I just throw most of my weight onto the tails.

The best thing to do is experiment. Start by doing tail taps and manuals everywhere, even ollies on flat ground and dropping your tails down first. Then pop 180s off your tails. At this point you will be starting to get a good feel for how the tails of your skis flex and how to use that to butter.

get full tilts

just Lean back?!?! I must be doing something wrong but it works and I can flex some pretty stiff skis

pop

Heavily engage core while pressing tails down and simultaneously pulling your knees up(basically try to v sit up )

then pop off that flex and spin, shifty whatever

You def should see a bootfitter if your feet are moving that much
