Sign in to add this trick to your list.
Shown for a regular-footed rider. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.
How it works
The bluntslide's front-truck mirror: the front wheels ride on top of the obstacle with the nose wedged against the edge below them, deck pitched steeply tail-high, entered by rotating a backside quarter-turn while driving the body up and over the front axle. The rider is effectively doing a nollie-loaded handstand of a trick - weight fully forward over a wedge they entered blind-side-back - which is why back nosebluntslides down handrails remain a benchmark of technical rail skating. The release is a nollie snap off the wedged nose that levels the board for the drop to flat.
Step by step
- Approach with the obstacle on your heel side at speed, square stance.
- Ollie above the edge and quarter-turn backside while shifting hard over the nose.
- Land the front wheels on top with the nose jammed against the edge below, tail towering behind.
- Stack chest and hips directly over the front axle; the back foot rides the steep deck lightly.
- Slide the wheels-and-nose wedge, holding constant forward pressure.
- Snap a nollie off the nose to release, level out over the landing side, and roll away.
Body mechanics
| Front foot | Carries nearly everything - presses the nose wedge into the edge and pops the nollie exit. |
|---|---|
| Back foot | Rides high on the pitched deck, steadying the tail's skyward angle. |
| Shoulders | Quarter-turned with the board, chest committed out over the front truck. |
| Arms | Both forward-and-wide, framing the balance over the nose. |
| Gaze | Just past the front wheels at the top surface, flicking to the end for the release. |
