Sign in to add this trick to your list.
Shown for a regular-footed rider riding nollie. 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 blunt stall's harder mirror: the rider rotates 180 above the lip so the front wheels land on top of the coping with the nose pressed against it, body now facing back into the ramp over a near-vertical board. Entry is essentially a backside 180 to a nose-first vertical lock, and the exit - popping off the nose and riding away forward down the wall - asks for commitment while looking straight down the transition, which is why it reads as a statement trick on any ramp.
Step by step
- Approach the coping straight on with speed, as for a disaster.
- Float a backside 180 above the lip, guiding the front wheels down on top of the coping.
- Press the nose into the coping face so the board stands near-vertical, your chest facing the ramp.
- Balance the noseblunt lock with weight through the front wheels and nose.
- Pop off the nose (a nollie-style snap), lift the wheels back over the coping, and re-enter forward, absorbing deeply.
Body mechanics
| Front foot | On the nose, pressing it into the coping and delivering the nollie pop out. |
|---|---|
| Back foot | High on the deck, steadying the vertical board and lifting through the exit. |
| Shoulders | Rotate the full 180 before the lock so they face down the ramp throughout the stall. |
| Arms | Spread wide - the lock is brief and every correction runs through them. |
| Gaze | Spot the coping through the 180, then look down the transition the whole stall; that is where you are going. |
