A trick i heard from form Dan corrigan: under rotate for nose slides and over rotate for tailslides. It's something that has been working for me. I used to get stuck and immediately rotate to fakie. Also I noticed that I get the most stable nose slides when I miss my crooks (both frontside and backside). I am still learning though. What I also noticed is that I slide better if i let my toes hang off a bit. If the heel hangs of and it grabs you're going to have a bad time.
I think you missed a very important part. When doing a FS Noseslide to regular , your shoulders stay parallel to the ledge. For a BS Noseslide, they are in a 90 degree angle. Too bad, it's not visible in this video. For a FS Noseslide to fakie, your shoulder will need to be in the 90 degree angle to and overturn for the fakie out.
Find this waaay harder than backside noseslides, the feeling of sliding backwards is still taking time for me to get used to. Update* I've kind of got them these days, but I do often stick on these. I find leaning back helps achieve a longer slide with less risk of sticking to the ledge.
For me personally I aim for the corner of the nose and it automatically slides and locks in while it slides. I always get stuck trying to get the whole nose on the ledge so I aim for corner of the nose where your toes will end up at. Idk might just be me but it really gets me to slide and hold it when I aim for the corner of the nose
Man your so active ! Love it and thx for tips i suck at back nose but was praticing front this afternoon ! For the next i would ask for heelflips variations such as vheel or front heel / fakie front ...
Dude THANK you for posting so much lately. I really learn a lot from your videos, I always recommend your channel to everyone I meet because you are by far the best person I've seen that can break down tricks to the tinyest detail and really helps me learn things quickly. I got back into skateboarding last January after 16 years off and my progression had been really fast thanks to you. Please keep them coming. 🛹🙏
Was wicked scared of this trick, but got them consistently in like a half hour. I can front board which is like the same motion with the shoulders but for the nose slide I barely ollied got in and cruised it. Hyped on this new trick
Great video dude…was doing FS Noseslides today and landing them but I gotta get to the point where I’m really standing on the nose on the ledge for long slides. Just discovering you, and I’m already gonna steal your ledge/box design haha
Favorite slide trick. Any tips on variations? Been trying to get a 270 out or get out of them with that 90 degree hard way out twist(opposite of fakie) but can't seem to find the right balance of shoulder, hip or maybe feet place to guide them properly. Please help
Before I even watch the video, I can't backside or frontside noseslide to save my life. I want to learn this one first because they look so much steezier than backside. I have front and back tails fairly consistantly so I have to figure out how to sack up and put all my weight on the nose.
Make sure you ollie almost parallel to the ledge and then rotate in the air, instead of popping your ollie at an angle towards the ledge. Getting good at this allows you to almost adjust in the air making the distance to the ledge not as much of a factor. It also makes it easier to slide since you are going more parallel and not just jamming your board into the ledge.
I find I have to setup with my front foot basically all the way off of the board on the heelside otherwise my foot comes off as slide my ollie. Do you know how to keep your foot centred when turning?
Try them switch if you haven't already. Personally I found them easier and learnt them switch first, afterwards I managed to apply the same techniques I learned in switch to my regular stance to learn them regs
i found that the larger the board or even "longer" nose/tail shapes that have that 1" flat spot right above the bolts aka the "RUN" makes these tricks insanely easier...even 8.6, 8.8, 9.25 etc shaped boards become pretty easy to do esp when the rear of that setup is a bit heavier the pop outs are that much more natrual with a shaped/chopped/tapered nose. IMO if you master upping your speed as a skater...and REALLY dial in your FS boardslides like WHOLE flatbars and popping before you GET to ledges/flatbars...then this trick is that much easier to grasp/handle. Its a lot like a FS boardslide just 60-70% more effort/required from your front foot/leg/hip once you lock in...you need that board control/balance to pop out or go out fakie....still its exactly like a FS board as far as speed/balance/pop out and shoulder/hip balance. Either way the trick is pretty simple once you get it down...but you feel so gangster doing them and LONG ones...esp when you land clean looking backwards/at the ground.
My frontside boardslides have pretty much always been better and more comfortable than backside. But not for noseslides. They're both some of the coolest slides in skating despite not being super advanced and technical
So you didnt talk about how your body should be when you are sliding ? Because I can do BS Noseslide well but for FS Noseslide the board just keep slipping away when I'm sliding
One of the first grind/slide tricks I got, got it fs before bs, always been easier for me to grind fs except for crookeds. I got a kickflip fs noseslide but can't get it back, so I would love a trick tip on it.
The thing that was holding me back from becoming more consistent at this trick is to have your weight a bit heelside before popping. I accidentally figured that out on my own the other day. I went looking for a tip on this trick to see if other people did that. This guy does it! That subtle change definitely helps me stay on top of the noseslide instead of slipping out. Watch the heelside pressure, causing him to curve away a bit from the ledge and ride parallel to it at the 2:00 mark.
