Pretty sure I’ve heard the Helgasons or Torstein call this the Walrus! Not sure if that is the proper name but that is what I’ve been calling it since I heard it/saw it on one of their vids

Yep 0:20 is definitely a Tripod.

Really smooth butter skills. But I gotta say, these are still only intermediate butter tricks. Even I can do all these.

If you want to see the REAL master, watch some videos of MFM.
He showed us all what was possible, and he’s still the best in my opinion.

when it comes to butters
i dont think you can go pass the japanese

masters of ground series

Yeah, I love the master of ground series. But I think what makes this guy impressive is that he’s doing it on a stiff cambered Custom X board instead of a soft rocker board.

Masters of ground series you say. Sounds rad, I’ll have to check it out.

Yeah skip I think your right, actually I think him doing it on a camber is what makes it look so clean and snappy.

yeah agree….stiff ass board to butter is what this guy brings to the table

though mid flex cambered is the board of choice for the master of ground people
reason: better pop

Yeah, THIS!!!!!!!!!

It’s the whole deal with combining sharp carves with pinpoint precise spins and butters. I was totally blown away the first time I saw this vid.
