Skateboarding Tricks : Preparing for a Frontside Noseblunt Slide

What this video teaches

SkateboardTricks breaks down the frontside nose blunt slide by first drilling its closest cousin, the frontside lip slide, since the ollie-in, body position, and pop-out share the same mechanics. Frames mastering the lip slide as the direct on-ramp to a clean nose blunt lock-in and exit.

Key tips

• 1Drill the frontside lip slide first, since its foot positioning and sliding motion closely mirror what you need for the frontside nose blunt slide
• 2Ollie over the ledge the same way you would for a nose blunt slide, then land in the lip slide position with your back wheels sliding and front wheels hanging off the ledge
• 3Keep your back foot on the tail throughout the slide, positioned above or just behind the front trucks and no further back, since foot placement drives the pop-out
• 4Once you are ready to exit, load weight onto the tail and pop lightly while leveling the board out to travel a clean 90 degrees
• 5Clear both back wheels fully onto the ground at 90 degrees and pointed straight to keep your speed through the landing
• 6Treat getting cleanly out of the lip slide as the hardest part, since it demands the same wheel-clearing motion you will need to pop out of a nose blunt
• 7The better your frontside lip slides get, the more directly that improvement carries over into consistent frontside nose blunt slides
