Skateboarding Tricks: Frontside Noseslide Foot Placement

Video Transcript

"Some of the foot placement that you'll need to do an ollie front side nose slide on a ledge will be--basically you need to be ready to ollie onto your nose, and that's the most important part of the whole trick. So what you're going to do, is you're going to set your feet up in anticipation of bringing weight from here onto your nose. The back foot is going to rest somewhere in front of the back trux, once you're into it. So what you do is you set up in a position close to your nose, and with your body ready to jump onto the front, and place all of your weight directly onto the nose to hold it during the slide. Once you've mastered this position, a really good way to learn how to front side nose slide is simply by changing the bangle that you approach every time. At first you'll want to roll directly into the ledge, to ollie into the nose position, and then roll away. And then as you get better at that, you'll want to start running more parallel to the ledge, and able to ollie directly into it. This will cause you to be able to slide a little more directly, as opposed to rolling up and getting in it as a stall, and coming off. And the better you get at that, the better you'll be able to hold the position for the front side nose slide"
