How To Frontside Noseblunt On A Ledge (skateboarding tips)

What this video teaches

Coyote Rob Shreds gives a detailed frontside nose blunt breakdown, recommending frontside lip slide, frontside nose grind, and a strong frontside 180 as prerequisites. His key mental trick is to approach and pop as if doing a frontside lip slide, then turn at the top of the ollie arc so the nose dips into the corner of the ledge instead of power-sliding flat on top.

Key tips

• 1Have your frontside lip slide on a flat bar and frontside nose grind on a ledge locked in first, since both build the pop and lock-in you need here
• 2Set your front foot a little lower on the board than a normal ollie position to generate extra pop for getting up on top of the ledge
• 3Approach at only a slight angle, staying as parallel to the ledge as possible, and mentally trick yourself into thinking you are doing a frontside lip slide
• 4Pop straight up rather than scooping into a sweeping 180; only start turning once you reach the top of your ollie arc
• 5Let your front foot push and dip the nose into the corner of the ledge as you turn, instead of landing flat and power-sliding on top
• 6Wax the ledge heavily, since without enough wax the board will stick even with perfect technique and send you flying forward
• 7Once locked in, put nearly all your weight on your front foot, stand up tall over the corner, and line your body up from the corner straight through the top of your head to avoid slipping off
• 8To pop out, push down harder than a normal nose slide exit to lift the board off the corner, then snap your lower body back to rotate out and land rolling away
