Skateboarding Tricks: Backslide Noseslides

Video Transcript

"One of the tricks you may want to learn before learning how to front side nose slide, is to learn the regular straight back side nose slide. The name is deceiving because it's a front side ollie into a back side nose slide, but that's the name nonetheless. So, what you're going to want to do is find a good-sized ledge to learn this on. This will teach you how to ollie onto your nose, and hold the sliding position. It'll teach you how to nose slide in a way that--in a direction that you could see. Because the front side nose slide is a little tricky because you can't see where you're going. But the regular back side nose slide is going way of getting ready for that, because you can absolutely see the direction that you're rolling in. So you to find a good-sized ledge for yourself first, one that you can ollie into. You're going to ollie into a back side nose slide position, it's called back side because the ledge is behind you. So ollie into your nose slide position, slide, and then when you get to the end or your speed runs out, you pop out cleanly. Some of the tricks you'll need to learn before trying even the back side nose slide is being able to ollie onto the nose tap position on the ledge. If you can't even ollie into the nose tap position, that means the ledge is too high for you, and you need to find something maybe a little bit smaller. So that's one way, one trick you need, before learning the front side nose slide, is the back side nose slide."
