HOW TO KICKFLIP NOSE MANUAL THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Nose Manual Flip Out. Braille covers the kickflip into nose manual rather than the flip out, so the coaching is about entering the manual with a flipped board.

What this video teaches

Braille covers the kickflip into nose manual rather than the flip out, so the coaching is about entering the manual with a flipped board. The build up drill is to kickflip and land on the nose on flat ground first, using a low, gentle flip rather than a big popped one so the nose does not slam down and jam. On the obstacle you keep your eyes on the edge the whole time, pop early, slide the front foot up and give the normal kickflip flick, then land softly into the nose manual position and hold as still as possible before popping a small nollie off the end.

Key tips

  • Have kickflips on flat and your nose manual balance solid first, and learn kickflip manual before kickflip nose manual
  • Practice kickflipping and landing on the nose on flat ground before taking it to a ledge
  • Keep the flip low and gentle rather than popping a big one, so you land softly instead of jamming the nose into the ground
  • Keep your eyes on the edge of the obstacle the whole time and pop nice and early
  • Committing to the nose landing is the crux; too far forward jams the nose, too far back turns it into a kickflip up the curb
  • Land in the nose manual position, hold as still as possible, then pop a small nollie off the end to roll away
