What this video teaches
A concise mechanical breakdown framing the bluntslide as a tailslide variant where the wheels and tail sit on top of the ledge, focused on keeping the board vertical and leaning away from the ledge to lock the back foot in place.
Key tips
- Approach almost parallel to the ledge with your feet already in ollie position
- Ollie high enough that your back truck clears completely over the ledge
- Turn your hips in a frontside 90-degree motion as you land, but keep your shoulders straight in the slide direction
- Land with your tail and back wheels resting on top of the ledge's edge
- Keep your weight on the tail and lean slightly away from the ledge to lock your back foot and the board into the blunt position
- Keep the board as vertical as possible, that vertical angle plus back-foot weight is what stops you from slipping out at the end
- Turn your hips back straight to roll away clean
