I will explain how to do a nose pivot on a skateboard.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • skateboard
  • some kind of transition, quarter pipe, mini ramp, etc.
  • balance
  • a brain
  1. Step 1

    Start by rolling towards the ramp/obstacle with a moderate amount of speed, enough for your momentum to carry you to the top of the ramp.

  2. Step 2

    Set up your feet like you would for a nose stall: front foot on the nose, back foot over the back trucks.

  3. Step 3

    Once you come to the coping shift your weight forward over your front truck and rotate on it until you are above, and parallel to the coping.

  4. Step 4

    Balance in this nose manual/nose grind position for about 1 second.

  5. Step 5

    Now begin to start shifting your weight back into the transition. Continue pivoting on your nose and you'll need to do a quick nose manual when coming back in to avoid your back trucks hanging up on the coping.

  6. Step 6

    Roll away and then go make out with a girl.
    Also, keep in mind that blind kids can do this trick.

Tips & Warnings
  • It helps to first learn the trick on smaller, more mellow obstacles, then work your way up to bigger and steeper things.
  • warnings? lets see.. you could wreck and slam your head or succeed and have fun!
