"Some of the tricks that you're going to have to learn, before learning how to front side nose slide, is you're going to have to learn how to ollie into a nose stall. Now this is just basically ollying into a still position, and then rolling away. And that's going to help you learn how to front side nose slide. One helpful hint for learning how to front side nose slide well, is getting used to being in the position, and popping out. When you pop out of a front side nose slide, it's going to require you to kind of jerk your motion and send your board back into the straight rolling position. So what you can do is practice on a ledge until you get the feeling down, before you actually start sliding it an traveling fast. So what you can do is actually put the board on the ledge, and you can put your foot on and practice the weight, and how it's going to feel. And then you can practice popping out, because it's hard to see where you're going, so you're going to have to get as comfortable with this position as possible. So I'm going to test it out. I'm going to pop out 180. This way I have an idea how it's going to feel before I have to commit to sliding into it."
