Front Noseblunt Slides

I learned them on a suuper buttery marble ledge.. a crunched up cement ledge will NOT help you as far as learning. i put my front foot near the neck with my heel hanging off and my back foot near the brake with my toes hanging off. while im doing it i put pressure on my bars to keep the deck leaning and popping out i put pressure on my front foot and hop and swing my body back straight.. going faster also helps

that was a noseblunt. Lips are like boardslides.

If you really really look it was a backlip, it was just super on the front of the deck. I saw a photo of the trick somewhere and it confirmed it was a lipslide.

first make sure you're doing it on an angle-iron coping ledge (and make sure the metal extends far enough that your deck fits) or a really sharply angled ledge or any kind of buttery plastic type ledge.

i do them heelless better than with heels. i put my front foot with my toes pointed toward/really close to the headtube like a hang five, and my back foot kinda just like normal. go at a good speed toward the ledge, jump and just aim to land on the corner of the ledge between the space between the deck and your wheel, and turn your wheel so its pointed forward. don't forget to tweak the deck out.

oh and practice a lot

I haven't really done them much but its seriously the exact same concept. just be sure to tweak it and have your feet in the right position.

the best way to learn them is to try and get them from the beginning of the ledge. just go straight on and try to get em, instead of like hopping up into them from the side. s'how i learned them.

unnnhhhhh, he's so close though, I'm sure some french kid has already done a back noseblunt down a handrail
 
jump into it, not on to it. Jump up into the side of the ledge at a comfortable angle/speed and just jam the space into the edge of the ledge. Turn your bars facing forward, use heels, and just keep holding it until the end. Once I got them on my skateparks ledge, learning them to fakie came sooo easy.
 
Think of it like a skateboard, gotta pop it and aim the front ends towards the coping. I just focus on just my front foot and put all my pressure on that and just aim it for the wittle space between the fork and wheel. Just slightly turn your bars and boom youll prolly be in it by then...Best decks for noseblunts are Frenchid, Thresholds, districts and addicts. Not sure about protos or reventons, never really rode em

this.. try like to like hop JUST high enough to get onto the ledge.. if you hop higher than the ledge then youre gonna slam down on it and get locked up. thsi trick is a combo of foot position/ balance/ angle/ cooter control ;)
