Does anyone else despise when noseblunts aren't approached from the side of the ledge but straight on?
The recent DC video features a switch back noseblunt on the NYC pyramid ledges. Sick trick, but the guy was so 'headon' with the ledge that he basically approached it frontside.
Other notable offenders:
Henry Sanchez - Free your Mind(?) kickflip noseblunt at pier 7
Daewon - His old deca days where he stacked 420 picnic tables together
Anyone who does noseblunt 270's

Y'all are real stuck on downplaying that switch back noseblunt huh?

One of those tricks that the proper way to do it is so hard that it usually gets a pass.
I say it doesn't really count, and if somebody did the same trick/same spot but coming from the side I would consider it much more difficult in most cases.
Edit:
Realizing that a regular BS Noseblunt from the side is the hardest of all combinations of BS noseblunts. Nollie in would be easier, and I would debate that kickflip in is actually easier than an ollie since you can fling it and pray.
A perfectly executed ollie into a BS Noseblunt is a thing of beauty.
-
Well the most important part of this discussion is - can YOU do noseblunts, and do you do them from the side only? If not, then you probably shouldn't criticize people who can do them.
What matters is if the nose is locked over the edge of the ledge. Booger slides suck. I've done nosebluntslides using both methods of entry and yeah, it feels cooler popping from the side, but on a short obstacle that results in a nosblunt bonk whereas going over the end gets you the whole slide.
-
jawn counted like a motherfucker, in my humble opinion. While were on it, the swbsts shuv at shakespeare was also beast.
-
I consider straight on as "cheating" but I don't hate on them if they're locked in proper. If they bugger slide them, that's a different story. Same concept for a lipslide straight on. It's kind of like a boardslide but it's technically a lipslide. The whole point of the trick is to pop and get over the ledge/ rail.
-
I think you mean bastardized noselides.
They don't typically bother me, especially if they're switch and backside on the Pyramid Ledges.

I could when I still did more than push the streets, and only from the side. I've always felt like straight-on was a little-kid tactic. I'm mostly surprised when people have far more skill than I ever did use the technique.
I agree with the other poster that bugger-slides are far worse.
-
I understand the urge and need to differentiate the straight-on bs nosebluntslide from those started in front of the ledge, especially in terms of difficulty. However, the straight-on can be a good looking trick if it isn't done all boogery.
Case in point, and you will all be shocked I used him as my reference, Fred Gall's trick tip from 411VM 9.

This is a "it depends" thing for me for backside noseblunts but not frontside.
Straight on nosegrinds on the other hand are just nose manual edgers.

So if you're at a spot that has some dope benches but they're only 4 feet long and you want to noseblunt them - you're telling me you would somehow pop in and out before the end? I feel like most people calling over the end not legit can't actually do nosebluntslides.

I'm in the camp that it's okay either way as long as you aren't trying to fake one that came from straight on as one that came from the side.
That said, to date, that Nestor Judkins clip is really the only time I've ever seen a back noseblunt popped out in the middle of a ledge, which is pretty crazy.

at least the wheels are sliding on top of the obstacle. it's better when than when people do those ollie over noseslides and call them bluntslides.

Unless it's boogered I don't really mind the straight on blunts. No clue how anyone let that Jordan Mourning one pass though. Even with the terrible video quality you can tell without it even being slowed down.

Magazine captions are to blame. If it were my way, I'd call them "Ollie over noseblunts"

I'll take a straight on with proper lock and good slide over one from the side but slid and locked worse any day.
Proper ones on the side still the best of course.

The last trick here is a frontside noseslide because he kinda came over the back to get in but he did pop out as if it were a backside noseblunt.

I agree and you can’t argue the lock on the sbnb on pyramid ledges. I’ve only ever done them anywhere near ok straight on and from the side I end up booger sliding and only landing to value.
-
All due respect, but what are you smoking my friend?! No matter how they do it, it's still a noseblunt slide. You try hanging out on a session and telling someone to their face that they just did a frontside noseslide and get back to me, lol.
Also, on the one you noted - you gotta be shitting me to say that about that trick at that spot, really. Fucking gnarly and locked.

Yes, as I stated in the TK thread weeks ago.
Same applies for nosegrinds, etc...
There are exceptions though, say skating a skinny ledge straight on to a raised portion of said ledge.

Daewon's last 3 tricks in round 2 are flips into straight on noseblunts

If you've messed around with enough tricks, you would find out that some "harder" tricks are not actually harder, they're just putting two things together, not necessarily making it harder.
Sometimes kickflip back tails are easier than back tails, in the same way a kickflip BSNBS could be easier. Doing an ollie going fast, twisting your board into a noseblunt position, all while keeping the board on your feet is hard. Doing half a backside flip and smashing your foot onto the nose IF it gets over the ledge takes less finesse in my opinion, not that both aren't hard in the first place.

Can you kickflip backside noseblunt?

I would debate that kickflip in is actually easier than an ollie since you can fling it and pray.

First, if you're taking me literally, that's your problem.
Also, if you don't have a bag of tricks that lead you can logically put together to make new tricks then none of this applies.
I'm assuming if you can kickflip and back tail, you could mentally put those together to figure out a kickflip back tail.
If somebody can't do a crooked grind, I don't want to hear their opinions on how to do back noseblunts.
I try to speak generally, so I don't come off as arrogant, but for those asking, yes I've spent the time trying these tricks and for 20 years been trying to figure out the nuances of how to do them consistently.
If you don't get how a kickflip back lip and a back lip are two different motions and executions of getting into the trick then I'm sorry I cannot convey that feeling to you.
Catching a kickflip and putting it in a trick is much different than just an ollie, especially when that ollie is very hard to keep on your feet while doing the motion to get into a BSNB.
The fact is that all of the people in question doing shady noseblunts clearly have the skate ability to do them from the side, it's just more difficult.

In my 20 years of skating, I've never heard of anyone claiming that kickflipping into a slide/grind trick was easier than ollieing into it.

I know what he's trying to say, but I think it would be more accurate to say 'if you do A LOT of kickflip noseblunts/backtails, you may become more consistent on the flip in version...'. At the end of the day, flinging a kickflip into position takes more skill than just ollieing into position, as there's another factor added - flipping the board... so it doesn't make sense that flipping in would be easier. But - when I was doing kickflip back tails regularly I did get to the point where I felt like I would do better slides on the flip in version... so I can see where he's coming from.

As someone who can do both of them i feel you are focusing too much on getting into the trick when the hardest part is boning your board after the rotation so you can get the proper lock in which is much easier without a kickflip.

I don't disagree with the basic premise, I have a few ledge tricks that I find it easier (or about the same difficulty) to kickflip into. I do, however, disagree with the claim that a kickflip backside noseblunt (or nollie backside noseblunt) is easier than a regular backside noseblunt because you flip into it, especially from a random poster on Slap who still hasn't responded with a "yes" or "no" when asked if he can kickflip backside noseblunt.
With that being said, fuck it, if you can do kickflip backside noseblunts, I'll take you at your word that they're easier than regular backside noseblunts.

To be fair, one of my friends learned how to kickflip back 50 before learning back 5050s. He would say that the kickflip made it easier for him to get into the back 50. That's just an one-off example, but it's interesting.
Whoever said that Dennis Busenitz's back noseblunt at 3rd & Army was a front noseslide is wilding.

I feel this thread was created more so to hate on the noseblunt jahmir did rather than to debate on whether a head on noseblunt slide head on is proper or not. Guarantee most of your favorite skaters has done one head on at one point or another, you just dont like jahmir, which is totally ok, but stop pretending like yall think a head on noseblunt isnt proper. Its a fucking back nose blunt shit is hard as fuck regardless

Billy Marks goes on record in an old Thrasher interview that he finds it easier to flip onto rails for whatever reason.

This is the thing that bothers me. This thread was made to put down jahmir and his trick. All of everyone’s favorites have straight on noseblunt slid at one point. This was made to call out a trick and someone they didn’t like with “justification” and that’s lame. As fuck.
-
there is absolutely nothing wrong with going straight on for a noseblunt.
I also agree with kickflipping into things being easier sometimes. when I was really good at kickflips they were easier to aim onto a ledge then ollieing for certain tricks
-
gnarliness of the spot or just beautiful execution can excuse straight on bluntslides imo. i also think it just looks better sometimes depending on the spot and on film. same with bastardized backlips that are actually frontboards. call it what you want, the slide itself is pretty much the same once locked in and gnarly enough by itself(in the case of bs noseblunts).

As long as it's properly dipped, I'm totally down for the straight on nosebluntslide. Coming from the side just gets extra points. The switch bs nosebluntslide Jahmir did was amazing.

there was a few year period where griffin gass could only kickflip into back noseblunts, he couldn't do them without flipping in. must be nice
i've done a couple of them (poorly) and they sure as hell were way harder than just ollieing into it. only way i could see them being easier is if you have insane control of your kickflips, which i don't
-
depends on the spot but straight on is not legit in 2020
-
I think it depends on the spot (I can't bsnbs tho).
I remember there was a Jake Johnson ssbsnbs thread a year or two ago, and the ledge was a in a way that you could only it do it going straight. The other time I'd say it's okay is if the ledge is insanely high.

i can't do any variation of blunt at all, so i don't know what the fuck i'm doing weighing in. that said...
i've gotten into kickflip back lip on flatbar a few times, but never just the straight ollie version
they were totally hit and hope and if i had ridden away from one, it would've just been luck
but, based on that, i get what the guy is saying
there' something about turning the board alleyoop that feels like it takes more control to keep your feet attached than not

i've never done a regular ollie backside tailslide in my life on anything other than a curb but i am able to do a kickflip back tail on a ledge. i'm not good at them but i've done a couple. i also know a skater that has learned back noseblunts from the side by kickflipping into them. he was able to ollie into them straight on before that and he is now able to do both ollie in and kickflip in from the side, but he says the kickflip in was first and i believe him 100%
-

I'm pretty crust at the moment, but I'll definitely try to get one next time I skate a decent ledge and have an opportunity to film myself like an idiot.
I also didn't say kickflipping in is easier or that you should learn that first, I was saying how it's just different footwork. If you can do both tricks already, you might find flipping in easier.
I think a few people understand where I'm coming from although I'm sure I'm not conveying my point well. The kickflip back 5050 post is relevant, Griffin Gass post is relevant...
When the board leaves your feet, you don't have to control it for those few milliseconds, which in some tricks is where the mistakes happen.
BSNB (if regular) you ollie to the left over the rail/ledge, then spin the opposite direction, then point your nose down, then push the slide... that's a lot of opposing motions to keep the board glued to your feet.
KFBSNB is basically an allyoop backside flip over the rail/ledge, catch half way, smash nose down.

Does anyone else despise when noseblunts aren't approached from the side of the ledge but straight on?
The recent DC video features a switch back noseblunt on the NYC pyramid ledges. Sick trick, but the guy was so 'headon' with the ledge that he basically approached it frontside.
Other notable offenders:
Henry Sanchez - Free your Mind(?) kickflip noseblunt at pier 7
Daewon - His old deca days where he stacked 420 picnic tables together
Anyone who does noseblunt 270's
Y'all are real stuck on downplaying that switch back noseblunt huh?
there's nothing to downplay. the edge he slid on was in front of him, so it was a switch front noseslide.
if anything calling it a switch back noseblunt is downplaying the difficulty of a switch back noseblunt.
Definitions of frontside and backside do not change based on how gnarly the spot or skater or bust factor is.
if you want to deserve the accolade of doing a switch back noseblunt, approach the edge backside and nobody can give you shit for it.

there's nothing to downplay. the edge he slid on was in front of him, so it was a switch front noseslide.
if anything calling it a switch back noseblunt is downplaying the difficulty of a switch back noseblunt.
Definitions of frontside and backside do not change based on how gnarly the spot or skater or bust factor is.

Haha, go call that trick a switch frontside noseslide anywhere beyond the boards and see how people respond.

doesn't matter how they respond. doesn't change the fact that it was frontside.

So at this point we’re gonna have to say 90% of the best noseblunts frontside or backside done on ledges didn’t count? Daewon’s whole table and roof gap era were just noseslides? Amazing.

Potassium helps counter the effects of sodium and may help lower your blood pressure. Exercise helps as well, if you want i can send over some braille tutorials to get you (back?) on that board!

Seems like you don't lol. Approaching from behind the ledge doesn't make the trick frontside. If you wanna be pedantic, the ledge is now to the left side of you (if you're regular and trick looks like a back noseblunt), not in front as it would be for a frontside 5050.
Since this situation isn't strictly defined in trick nomenclature, people colloquially refer to the trick in the same way as they would if it was approached from the side and there are absolutely zero problems. The trick in question is definitely a switch back noseblunt, whether you think he did it properly or not is a bit more up for debate but even then I think its definitely fine. I bet half the people bitching about it here haven't even noseblunted ledges before.

Calling nosebluntslides noseslides because you don't like that the person didn't come from the side is essentially why I always remind myself that a good number of posters on here pretending to have expert skate knowledge are actually clueless kids from buttfuck nowhere mashing away at a keyboard because they suck at actual skateboarding.
But also - dude approached the ledge backside, even though he went over the end. You can't even cheat and come at it frontside unless you come from the other side of the planters, lol. Look at the angle of his approach in relation to the ledge - backside.

yea it’s a noseblunt but since when do ppl have to be able to do something to have an opinion on it?
i’m sure somewhere a brain dead dude can straihht on back noseblunt and calls it a front nose. doesn’t make it right
-
We got dudes still downplaying a somewhat lengthy switch back noseblunt on a narrow out ledge, and others saying it's easier to kickflip into back noseblunts. Slap, you've outdone yourself.
KF back noseblunt is easy, murrell, just ask me, nick p

If you go straight on a ledge and do a damn nose slide it’s still a nose slide. A noseblunt is on top and a nose slide is on the side.

this gotta turn into a "post yourself skating" thread at this point to weed out the dorks with opinions haha this was the perfect way to put it and even brought the receipts.

if you care about skateboarding you know that going over the top on a nosebluntslide is not exactly kosher. call it a nosebluntslide sure whatever, but if you go over the top when could have gone from the side, it's unfortunate.
for the record i've done fs nosebluntslides on ledges, from the side, over the top, popped out, off the edge etc. never landed a bsnbs on a ledge. i've gotten into them coming sideways, slid them, never landed. moby dick shit.

That's^ one of my favorite Transworld parts. It was so refreshing at the time, too.
The stupid reasoning for calling it a noseslide becomes extra weird when you think about over the end to other tricks like backside nosegrinds or 5-0's, or even over the end to back tail - by that poster's reasoning that would be a front blunt.

Was thinking the same thing... does the positioning of the wheels on either the side or top of the ledge mean nothing? What about gapping to back lip on a flat gap? Or bs lip out of manual? Those are front boards? Or when you skate on top of a ledge up onto one right on top of it? Back tailing that is front blunt? Shits dumb

All due respect, but what are you smoking my friend?! No matter how they do it, it's still a noseblunt slide. You try hanging out on a session and telling someone to their face that they just did a frontside noseslide and get back to me, lol.

There cool but during the clip i'm always like " it woulda been cooler if"
I've got nose blunts down and i've never even tried coming straight on.
-
I feel if Both wheels make contact at the same time it's fine.
I prefer over the ledge always. It's so much easier to pop out if you go dead on.
I cannot do front nbs dead on tho. I must attack from the side. I'd over turn and get my truck on. That's how I fucked up my tailbone when I was like 17.
Like 10 years later I had to have the sinus removed
-
The whole name debate here is... odd? A blunt / noseblunt is when you slide with your wheels on Top of the ledge with your nose/tail hanging over the edge. That’s it.
This particular one was dope (if not as sick as the one in Heckler’s profile) because even though he approached it from straight on he pushed it in properly so that the nose hung properly over the edge. The only ones that don’t count as far as I’m concerned are when you slide on the wheels in the middle of the ledge. Chris Cole did an atrocious one somewhere a while back.

Bobby dekeyzer does a proper pop in from the middle and out in the middle in his quasi & cons parts.
I am of the opinion coming straight on is ok, as long as it’s locked in/slides correctly. But if you can come from the side especially backside and more so SSBS, that’s G as fuck and adds points.

i don't know where I'd find a pic online but there was a feature in transworld around late 98 or 99 of Daewon at a DVS(?) demo, where he does a fs nbslide to fakie across a picnic table but it's so far overturned it just looks like a fs180 sw manual nosedrag.

Can you kickflip backside noseblunt or not? ^
In my 20 years of skating, I've never heard of anyone claiming that kickflipping into a slide/grind trick was easier than ollieing into it.
Go read the Billy Marks Thrasher interview from the mid 2000's. He says exactly that.

While its not necessarily always easier, especially not after you get the hang of ollieing in, there's definitely some truth to it especially for some backside tricks. My first back 5050 was after I could already kickflip back 5050, and my first back tail was after my first kickflip back tail.

backside tricks straight on are weird... it really makes the trick a lot easier.
I mean i could do straight on backside 5050s way before I could do "real" backside 5050s. it takes a hell of a lot more board and shoulder control to get into a "real" backside trick.
-
Straight on for a rail is weird
Straight on switch 5050 is weird
Straight on frontside ledge 5050 is weird
I prefer a straight on noseblunt that pops out in the middle of a ledge
Thing is all tricks can be done differently and that’s the beauty of ledge skating. It’s an art. Of course some stuff is easier but sometimes the easier way looks better sometimes vice versa.
I bet good money nobody that posts on here can we back noseblunt any way.
-
One of those tricks that the proper way to do it is so hard that it usually gets a pass.
I say it doesn't really count, and if somebody did the same trick/same spot but coming from the side I would consider it much more difficult in most cases.
A perfectly executed ollie into a BS Noseblunt is a thing of beauty.

Ive done a back noseblunt on a tiny flat bar at ed benedict in portland and i guess mine was an ollie over to front nose because my wheels didnt really slide and the board was flat not vertical. Also i guess a straight in fs crook is really a back over crook...lol sarcasm...
-
I consider straight on as "cheating" but I don't hate on them if they're locked in proper. If they bugger slide them, that's a different story. Same concept for a lipslide straight on. It's kind of like a boardslide but it's technically a lipslide. The whole point of the trick is to pop and get over the ledge/ rail.
I think straight on is good for learning in the beginning but it does sometimes become a bad habit.

Daewon - His old deca days where he stacked 420 picnic tables together
Anyone who does noseblunt 270's
Y'all are real stuck on downplaying that switch back noseblunt huh?
there's nothing to downplay. the edge he slid on was in front of him, so it was a switch front noseslide.
if anything calling it a switch back noseblunt is downplaying the difficulty of a switch back noseblunt.
Definitions of frontside and backside do not change based on how gnarly the spot or skater or bust factor is.
if you want to deserve the accolade of doing a switch back noseblunt, approach the edge backside and nobody can give you shit for it.
lol it a switch front nose hahahaha ok dude whatever you say
Is there some major difference im missing between this and Jordan Mournings nose booger slide, besides the better angle
um yes

if you care about skateboarding you know that going over the top on a nosebluntslide is not exactly kosher. call it a nosebluntslide sure whatever, but if you go over the top when could have gone from the side, it's unfortunate.
for the record i've done fs nosebluntslides on ledges, from the side, over the top, popped out, off the edge etc. never landed a bsnbs on a ledge. i've gotten into them coming sideways, slid them, never landed. moby dick shit.
Thank you for this. Some of the comments are salty but we've all seen how much sicker a properly done nose blunt from guys like Nestor Judkins is than the cheap ones where you go straight on like a 6 year old trying to learn how to grind a ledge at the local skatepark. Cheating on a nose blunt is the exact same as board sliding a flat rail going head on and calling it a lip slide. Cheating nose blunts aren't the worst thing ever but they're clearly lesser than compared to a real nose blunt. They're bargain bin nose blunts. For some reason a bs nose grind on a ledge doesn't bother me. I think it's weird but it doesn't bother me probably because getting into a proper bs nose grind is like 5% harder than coming from the side.

I would like to be added to list of offenders. I can do it from side on rails, but ledges are always over the top.

It's the most illegal trick and it's a shame how many pros get away with it.

Straight-on nosebluntslides are acceptable on ledges, but a nosebluntslide from the side, popped out before the end of the ledge is something totally different.
What I hate is when people don't lock into the BSNBS straight away, when they sort of land into a nosewheelie then quickly pivot their way into the BSNBS. I see that loads on ledges and it's been bugging me since the Trilogy days.

I've never done a noseblunt slide on a ledge from the side, always straight on. I can't figure it out in my mind. I learned lipslides straight on as well, but I eventually learned them on the side of the ledge.

Philly steps should not count. Because of the lower stairs.
Also shod observes ledge laws.
I would like to hear him speak on the matter

Man I was fuckin fucked up this morning. Still am rn. I can't even eat let alone type.
But it's shitty out and I cant skate it of rn. So I'm going to type all day.
I learned nbs on a tall curb with no ends. I could immediately get into them and slide too.
I personally feel like going straight at it it's harder. With all tricks but back 5oh
Look at DGK. Those guys are going from the bench up over the corner of the ledge and popping out.
Ivdid pay a full months SSI to see a (half) cab over the edge bs nbs to forward at JFK.
(270 but because it's to forward I'd call it half cab)
Or see fakie front nbs over the edge switch back to forward.
I know it sounds fuckin ugggz but close your eyes think again and tell me that you don't wanna see it.
I got a million untested ideas for the over the jfk ledges. I loved that spot. There's another old one like that at the courthouse too.
Y'all seen it for sure.
I wish I worked for DGK

I learned noseblunts from the side but then started doing it straight on because i could do higher ledges but now its so much harder from the side I definitely think its a bad habit that should be avoided
-
Half cab blunts def easier dead on.

backside tricks straight on are weird... it really makes the trick a lot easier.
I mean i could do straight on backside 5050s way before I could do "real" backside 5050s. it takes a hell of a lot more board and shoulder control to get into a "real" backside trick.
I hear you, straight on back side trick that aren’t the nose always terrified me though. I hung up once learning and said fuck it and waited years to learn regular back 5050, tho part of that was only having a flat bar and for whatever reason backside grinds on flatbars don’t compute.
My friends always thought it was weird I could skate round rails easily as long as it’s frontside but any backside trick on a flat bar was my kryptonite. Y’all have that problem?

I'm terrible at flatbars/rails, but I'm the opposite. Back 50 wayyy before front 50.
I've got like 4 rail tricks total tho so......
