Nice one Dan. They are hard to learn. The best three tips I got for these is 1 - move both your feet as far back on the board as you dare. This all helps you to get your back truck over the coping, lift your front foot towards your chest and keep your weight over your back foot. 2 - grab your nose to help you stay compact. 3 - if you are compact, you will have the leeway to pop out (versus getting stuck up there with straight legs!🫣) They are scary though. Good luck dude!
@@GnarlyCheese i'm gonna try that grab the nose thing today if it's not too hot to go out later. i've been meaning to learn & practice blunt slides & stalls lately but forget every time i go out. i think if i can grab the nose to make it easier, i'll actually remember to try them next time because i think part of why i keep putting them off is my mind subconsciously equates them to being a rather "hard" trick when they're probably easier than i realize.
Bend your knees as much as you can as you approach the coping, turn your arms and shoulders to look back down the ramp and simultaneously poke your front leg out over the deck. Then pull your front leg back towards your chest and unwind your lower body as you roll back down. Like a crossed up king fu kick over the deck. Keep your ass and hips in the transition. If you can get the front leg poke and the upper body twist in one motion, you will nail it!
@@WhatisReal11 that was actually my intent, to drop into rock. But I still find myself surprised when I lock in and kind of forget what to do I guess 😂
Dude that was a great video. Loved the verbal banter throughout.
@@StevesSkateXplosion Thanks! I can't afford music licensing so I just ramble 😂
@@GnarlyCheese honestly I much prefer the sounds of skating and the talking over music.

@@BlackMarketHoney thanks, will try
@@Sure2Skate I find having my front foot over the front truck or even a little further helps me a lot
I'm with you my dude, I can lock into blunt, but haven't figured out how to get back out yet, haha. Keep fighting the good fight. You earn my sub.
@@shawnhagerich2559 appreciate that 🤘🏼next time I'm going to work on grabbing the nose to pop back in
I would suggest learning blunt to rock or board, before puling all the way back in....
