How-To Skateboarding: Frontside Noseblunt Slide With Chad Fernandez

What this video teaches

Chad Fernandez presents a clean three-step breakdown of the frontside nose blunt slide: get comfortable handrail grinding and nose sliding first, lock in with a hooking 180-style motion while staying centered over the board, then push off the rail with a forward shove from the front foot to exit. Frames the trick as a rail-specific progression that rewards commitment.

Key tips

• 1Get fully comfortable grinding, board sliding, and nose sliding on handrails before attempting the frontside nose blunt, since it demands real commitment on rails
• 2Ollie up and hook over into the nose slide position with a small 180-like motion once you are over the rail, locking it in as tightly as possible
• 3Stay level over the board once you are locked in, avoiding leaning too far forward or back, which can cause a slip-out or a forward fall
• 4To exit, shift your front foot off the board and push it forward with a good amount of force, similar to exiting a regular nose slide
• 5Expect the board to land roughly 90 degrees to your original direction of travel; loose trucks let you smooth out anything short of a perfect 90
• 6Approach the trick with full commitment since frontside nose blunts down rails demand a strong mental buy-in more than raw technical difficulty
