Trick Tip: Noseslides to Fakie
I personally like this trick because it’s like doing a boardslide to fakie. It’s a more relaxed trick. You basically just let go with your front hand and fall off instead of trying to force it. So here goes:
Frame 1
Edge at the rail a little bit different than a regular backside boardslide. Start a little bit further away. You want to ollie like you would to a boardslide to fakie—light light ollie and let go with your front hand as you are olling.to lock into a good solid noseslide.
Frame 2
For this trick, locking into the noseslide is a bit easier. When you let go with your front hand both fins lock into the rail.
Frame 3
Now put 90 percent of your weight on your front foot and 10 percent on your back. Your backfoot is guiding this trick around.
Frame 4
Start thinking about going to fakie by starting to stand up and pull on your back hand.
Frame 5
Push down a little bit with your front foot and pull with your back hand to pop you to fakie.
Frame 6
Spot your landing and make sure you are getting ready to land on your heels. When you pull your arm forward it will pull your body around with it.
Frame 7
Keep your weight on you heels and get ready to ride it out.
Frame 8
Bend your knees to hold on to the landing and stay on top of you board.
Frame 9
Get ready to ride away clean.
Closing thoughs: Just make sure that you don’t edge too much because then you won’t lock into a noseslide, but if you don’t edge enough you wont get into the noseslide at all. Remember 90/10 weight balance to keep your tail up and you’ll be good to go!
