"MATT VANSTEENIS: Hi. My name is Matt Vansteenis on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to learn how to snowboard the terrain park here at beautiful Mt. Brighton in Brighton, Michigan. All right, in this clip, we're going to run over the nose press. Which is a really fun trick, my favorite, in fact. So, you want to approach the speed--approach the rail with a good amount of speed, not too fast 'cause you'll just kinda overshoot it and it won't look so good and not too slow 'cause you'll come off too early or just stop on it. So, you're going to ride up to it, just like with the 50-50 and the 5-0, but this time you're going to put all your weight up on the nose. So, just like we talked on the flat ground. So, get comfortable on a flat ground first doing your nose presses. So the same thing, you're going to ollie up, but once you get to--once your board gets flat over the top of the rail you're going to shift your weight forward. Put the nose down, and just keep looking to where you want to go. If you turn your shoulders you're going to come off early or you're going to fall and catch your edge. So, keep your shoulders straight, nice and pressed out, you want to keep that tail right off the box the entire way. And this one's a little bit different when you come off the end, so, when you get to the end of the rail, instead of just kinda riding off you'll tap your tail, it won't look so good. You going to want to pop off the nose, then level back out and then land. So just remember, when you're on your nose press, you're nice and pressed up like this, when you get to the end you just kinda give yourself a little pop off the nose and then ride away clean."
