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

A noseblunt slide entered turning frontside onto a toe-side obstacle: front wheels on top, nose wedged against the edge, tail steep behind, with the rider's back to the obstacle and all weight committed over the front axle. It combines every hard element in the slide canon - blind lock-in, full forward commitment, and a nollie-pop release from a wound-up position - placing it near the top of the difficulty scale for ledge, rail, and coping tricks alike. On vert, the frontside noseblunt slide along coping is an elite lip trick for the same reasons.

Step by step

  1. Roll at the obstacle on your toe side with generous speed.
  2. Ollie above the edge, quarter-turn frontside, and drive your mass up over the nose.
  3. Wedge the nose against the edge with the front wheels on top, back turned to the obstacle.
  4. Balance the steep deck through the front leg, core braced, tail high behind you.
  5. Slide by feel, tracking the end with peripheral vision over your leading shoulder.
  6. Nollie-snap the release, un-turn the quarter rotation, level out, and land rolling forward.

Body mechanics

Front footThe entire platform: loads the nose wedge and fires the exit nollie.
Back footFeather-light high on the deck, managing the tail's angle behind the blind side.
ShouldersQuarter-wound frontside with the chest driven over the front truck.
ArmsLeading arm low toward the landing, trailing arm high above the tail for pitch trim.
GazePeripheral on the obstacle's end over the leading shoulder; direct gaze returns to the landing at release.
