Term

Tailbutter

A trick name listed by FIS whose movement has not yet been described in a published source.

GLOSSARY

It appears in the official FIS snowboard trick list under the code “TB” for big air and slopestyle. FIS publishes the name and code only, without a description, and no reliable written description has been found elsewhere yet.

Context and distinction

The Bible does not guess a trick's mechanics from its name. The entry will be completed when a source that describes the movement is found.

HOW TO DO IT

Tailbutter

The existing inventory retains this name, but the original material does not establish a complete source-specific mechanical definition.

Preparation and setting

Retain the original named card and its source convention. No complete independent practice assignment is inferred.

Known phases / unresolved execution

  1. Read the exact original definition and its limitations.
  2. Identify feature, stance, contact, axis and exit where supported.
  3. Keep unknown properties explicit.
  4. Use related established components as background knowledge.
  5. Obtain a full reviewed target-specific instruction before assigning reproduction practice.

Learning and practice

Available material provides naming or partial understanding. A complete learning pathway for this exact target remains open.

Errors, limits and corrections

Do not turn a coding-list name or challenge title into a guessed movement. Similar spelling and compound wording do not establish aliases.

Observable checks

Original identity is retained; unresolved mechanics and missing instruction are explicit.

editorial review notes

Official coding-list name only. Classification and mechanics remain pending; a code does not establish an independent teachable trick.
