What this video teaches
Raymond Molinar breaks down the kickflip noseslide, but the core ledge mechanics he describes apply directly to the regular noseslide. He approaches the ledge parallel (not at an angle) so the flip happens with the board already aligned to land straight on the nose, and he keeps his weight slightly back during the slide to avoid sticking or leaning over the front.
Key tips
- Come parallel to the ledge: approaching at an angle causes over-rotation and missing the nose lock-in
- Keep your balance centered with a slight bias toward the back foot during the slide to avoid sticking or falling forward
- To pop out, yank the board and press the nose while turning your shoulders square: if you don't turn your shoulders, the board falls off or lands primo
- Front foot sits just below the bolts, back foot in the pocket corner of the tail for a solid pop
