Tail Butter Backside 180 Out — Snow
Tail-supported snow travel followed by a backside half-turn exit to switch. The feature lesson identifies this as its on-snow rehearsal, but does not supply a separate complete snow curriculum.
Preparation and setting
Controlled tail support, counterrotated Backside 180 and switch ride-away on gentle snow. This preparation is editorial synthesis.
How to practise the snow adaptation
- Establish a small tail-supported glide.
- Prepare the upper body toward the tail while maintaining the intended board heading.
- Release the supported end and counterrotate a modest Backside 180.
- Recover two-foot support and settle the switch ride-away before checking behind.
How to learn it
Editorial progression: press and release without rotation; small backside half-turn separately; join the two. If the rider loses heading during the press, shorten the hold and reduce movement size.
Errors and corrections
Turning before the release: isolate torso preparation. Uncontrolled spin after contact: revisit blind-landing alignment with an instructor. Do not force feature-specific flat-base contact into every snow setting.
Checks and cues
A supported press precedes a distinct exit and controlled switch continuation. Cue: hold the line, release the turn.

Evidence limit
These are labelled adaptation steps, not a dedicated source-confirmed snow lesson. Keep the card in technical review until the snow-specific progression is validated; do not hide this outstanding requirement.
01
teaching summary — coaching review required
Preserve the distinction between rehearsing the movement on snow and performing it on a box or rail; rail-specific contact requirements do not automatically transfer to snow.
02
editorial review notes
A dedicated full snow progression remains to be researched.
