How to Bluntslide a Ledge or Box

What this video teaches

General-purpose guide to bluntsliding any ledge, box, or hubba, emphasizing that committing on a flat obstacle is scarier than on a rail because there's no dip-and-bail safety net. Recommends practicing the standing blunt position and the sliding motion on flat, waxed ground before ever trying it airborne.

Key tips

• 1Wax the ledge thoroughly first and check where the wheels will travel across it so the slide stays smooth
• 2Practice standing in the blunt position on a curb or quarterpipe stall before trying it in motion, so the unfamiliar weight balance feels normal
• 3Load nearly all your weight onto the back foot in the stand; overloading the front foot is what makes the board slip out sideways
• 4Ollie high enough to land completely on top of the ledge, not partway on, with your weight already shifting to the back foot before you land
• 5Practice the blunt-sliding motion on flat, waxed ground with a running push, so you can drill the slide-then-turn-out motion without the ollie
• 6Start at the very end of the box instead of committing to a full-length slide, then work your way up to sliding more of it
• 7Open your shoulders into the slide like a frontside 180 and actively control the blunt, don't just hope it carries you across
