Some of the common mistakes you'll experience while learning how to front side nose slide
and pop out on the ledge, will be, usually you'll end up sticking a little too much.
Every spot is different, every ledge is different, and every board amount of paint that you have
or wax that's on it is always going to be a variable to keep in mind. So basically you're
going to want to just figure out what that ledge is capable of doing, and what you're
capable of doing, before really ending up committing to the trick. So sometimes it's
not always your fault that you're sticking a little too much. But some people also have
trouble, during a front side nose slide, they find that when you get into the front side
nose slide position, they end up falling out of fakey. What you have to do is you have
to twist your upper body to anticipate the turn, the inevitable turn at the end of the
front side nose slide, that you're going to do to bring it back to end up rolling away
straight. So, one tip I have for you is while you're--just before you ollie into the front
side nose slide position, you're going to want to build up steam with your upper body,
so that you're ready to turn back out. It seems complicated, but the more you do the
motion, the more it'll be evident to you what you have to do. Now, when you get to the end
of the front side nose slide, a lot of people will pop out, and sometimes will end up having
the board pop out a little too much. This just means that you need to try to keep your
feet stuck to the board as you try to pop out. And this'll help you learn how to do
better front side nose slides.
