HOW TO NOSEBLUNT SLIDE

What this video teaches

Breaks the frontside nose blunt slide down as a difficult nose slide onto a rail, stressing that a solid frontside 180, high ollie, and confident regular nose slide are prerequisites. Frames the core skill as rotating enough to fully clear the rail before locking in, since undercommitting leads to a crooked or overcrook lock instead of a clean nose blunt.

Key tips

• 1Nail your frontside 180s and regular nose slides solidly before attempting this trick, since it is essentially a harder version of both combined
• 2Ollie high enough to get the entire board over the rail, not just partway, before you start turning into the nose blunt
• 3Think of the approach as a lip slide, then continue the rotation further so the nose lands on the rail instead of the center of the board
• 4Start the twisting and turning of your lower body only once the board has fully cleared the rail, or you risk clipping it mid-rotation
• 5If you under-rotate, the truck will lock in as an overcrook or tweaked crooked grind instead of a clean nose blunt, so commit to the full turn
• 6Approach with full confidence and commit to a high ollie, since hesitation is the main cause of failed attempts
• 7Practice on the smallest rail you can find first to build confidence before moving to bigger obstacles
• 8Dismount the same way you would exit a regular nose slide, sliding off cleanly once you are ready
