How to FRONTSIDE NOSESLIDE

What this video teaches

SKATE HACKS teaches the frontside noseslide using a progressive angle drill: start by approaching at a full 90 degrees (perpendicular) and just hop onto the ledge to practice locking in the nose, then gradually decrease the approach angle until you are coming nearly parallel to the ledge as in a regular noseslide. This drill isolates the lock-in feeling before adding the approach complexity.

Key tips

• 1Drill: approach at 90 degrees first and hop onto the nose to practice the lock-in without worrying about the approach angle
• 2Gradually reduce the approach angle session by session until you can lock in from a near-parallel approach
• 3Frontside noseslide approach: come from the frontside (obstacle in front of you when you pop)
• 4Build confidence by doing longer and longer slides as the lock-in becomes consistent
• 5The same lock-in technique applies to backside noseslide: just flip the approach direction
