Got Butter? With health and fitness sites you may think that’s a nutrition question, right? Not this time. Snowboard butters keep me on the slopes. I may stay out of the park (at my age) but that doesn’t mean I just take a boring ride from top to bottom. No I butter the slopes with snowboard buttered pretzels.
Part of the fun of snowboarding is refusing to let people tell you what you can’t do. Get out there and try something new — the snowboard buttered pretzel.
Snowboard Buttered Pretzel
Sierra Snowboard gives great demonstration on how to do the buttered pretzel. Check it out.
Yasuo Aiuchi – Inspiration for Snowboard Ground Tricks
I love digging for inspiration, finding people that can do more, then watching them for inspiration. Just like in fitness how aesthetics can be inspiring and we can use envy as a motivator to keep us going. Finding inspiration in others is key to keep pushing yourself.
Check out how much air and how much spin Yasuo gets on his flat-land jumps. Amazing.
Train To Go
You can see why some of my training is focused on leg and core strength. My interview with on training your brain and learning to fly – fits perfectly. It is essential to be able to visualize exactly how your moving when you try to shifty then 270-out. You will need the leg and core strength to keep moving along the way.
Work hard in the gym, so you can hit the slopes. Bring the butter and try some snowboard buttered pretzels.

hey there, thanks for this realy good article and such a detailed bases one. i was realy glad to read it and hope to see more of them
Serious follower of your page, a bunch of your blog posts have truly helped me out. Awaiting posts!
Great video! Skating is perfectly awesome.
Great post that has me aching to hit the slopes again this year!
I’ve been riding for about 19 years, and now I really can’t quit since I just bought a new board last year. The accountant in me just says it wouldn’t be cost-effective.
I’m still hitting the parks, but I tend to stay right side up if I can help it. There were no parks when I first started, and hitting jumps meant spending an hour making one and riding it for about 15 minutes before the ski patrol came and tore it down. Ah…The good old days.
Where do you usually ride?
Best wishes,
Matt

Matt,
Crank up that ROI and get out on the slopes!
I live in Colorado Springs and have the 3-park pass: Breckenridge, Keystone, and A-Basin. My favorite is the hanging out in the back bowls at Keystone. And like you, I keep thinking about the money spent on the pass. SO I MUST GO! I try to hit the slopes each weekend. The past two seasons I made it out for 18 days.
Parks …. yeah, I’ve watched too many crashes, so my old-man-genes (read: fear) start kicking in. My recovery time is much longer now than when I was a teen. So I have managed to keep myself out of the parks; so far.
See you on the slopes and keep it “right side up”. What board did you get?
