What this video teaches
SKATE HACKS covers the frontside nosegrind as a progression from frontside 50-50 and nose manual, arguing those two tricks teach you most of what you need. The critical skill transfer from nose manual is learning the nudging motion at the end to clear the back truck over the obstacle on the exit, which is the same exit mechanic used in the nosegrind.
Key tips
- Prerequisites: frontside 50-50 and nose manual both on a pad, not just flat ground
- The nose manual exit (nudging the board clear of the obstacle without clipping the back truck) is almost identical to the nosegrind exit
- Approach the obstacle frontside so it is in front of you during the grind
- The grind itself is on the front truck only: keep enough weight forward that the back truck stays elevated but don't press the nose into the ledge
