Video Transcript

"Some of the common mistakes you may experience while learning how to do a frontside noseblunt slide, have to do with two things. One, is getting into it, and locking into it, and having the right foot position to get out. So when you get into the noseblunt slide position, you want to make sure that you are over the edge. This is really the only way you're going to get the momentum, or get the pop, to get you off the ledge, and able to roll away. A lot of people may get into a noseblunt slide like this, and there's no way to get out, because you can't build a leverage from this position. So what you're going to want to do, is make sure that you're hanging over the edge, and able to get out of the trick. One way you can do this, also, is start by sliding away from it, and slowly making your way in, and then able to come out of the trick. The other problem that people have, is getting out of the trick, and clearing the ledge, of the two back wheels, and able to roll away. This is the hardest part, because you have to be able to pop the trick vertically, and travel ninety degrees at the same time. So what you're going to want to do is, straighten your front leg as you pop out, so that you're able to get the verticalness that is needed of the nollie, and drag your back foot up the tail, and at the same time travel ninety degrees and point it straight forward, so that you can land and roll away with speed. And these are just a few of the common mistakes, about learning frontside noseblunt slides."
