What this video teaches
A ledge-specific frontside blunt tutorial that stresses a moderate 45-degree approach angle and keeping the shoulders locked toward your direction of travel through the entire pop and slide so you don't get twisted around mid-slide.
Key tips
- Approach the ledge at roughly a 45-degree angle with moderate speed, not too steep and not straight on
- Pop into an angled front-blunt stance so you land already set up over the ledge
- Keep almost all your weight on your back leg, with just light pressure on the front leg to hold the position
- Keep your shoulders angled toward your direction of travel the whole time, moving them mid-slide is what spins you backward and disorients the exit
- To come out, simply straighten the board back out and roll off the edge, no extra flourish needed
- Once the basic front blunt is consistent, use the same setup to go fakie, pop out, or add flip-outs and shove-its
