STEP BY STEP
NOSE GRIND
LIPSLIDE-TO-
REVERT OFF
EXTENSION
By Chris Livingston
Learn fast frontside lipslide reverts
and nose grinds before you com-
bine them and dump it off the
extension. Stay light-footed and
lean into the ramp.
1. Carve up the wall at a good angle with moderate speed.
Roll into a nose grind and turn toward a lipslide.
2. Swat the coping like a nose bonk to get it off the extension.
Pop it promptly to keep your momentum. Be ready to land like a
regular lipslide or you will crash.
3.
Slap it to rail and slide.
4. Revert it as fast as you can.
5. Pump down the wall and try another trick.

TAIL GRAB
NOSE GRIND
By Dave Warne
First off, don't let this trick intimidate you, it is much easier
than it looks.
1. Approach the lip at moderate speed.
2. Pop off the coping as if you were doing a regular ollie.
3. Keep your weight light on
your front foot until you hit
peak height.
4. Grab the tail now. As
you look down at your
touchdown point, shift
your weight to the nose.
5. Pull up on tail as you
hit the coping and ease it
back into the ramp. The
secret is not to grab too
early, but wait a bit and
grab late. Now try it for
distance, it's hella fun.
