In this video I’m breaking down the front nose technique by studying how Ishod does it, then I literally tested what I’m seeing on my own setup. The big idea is simple: I don’t try to “learn nosegrinds” in one jump—I steal a proven blueprint from the best ledge skaters and build baby steps I can actually repeat. I used Paul Rodriguez’ nosegrind as the base reference because P-Rod is one of the best ledge skaters of all time, and his approach gives you super clear checkpoints to copy. I go over what I’m focusing on when I’m trying to lock in the front nose: how I’m approaching the obstacle, what I’m trying to feel when the nose connects, and how I’m keeping it controlled instead of just praying I slide. If you’ve been stuck on nosegrinds or your front noses feel sketchy, this is the exact “copy what works” method I’m using—study a pro, simplify the movement, then drill it until it’s yours. I’m also skating the Keen Ramps 6’ flatbar in the session, which is perfect for repeating attempts and actually tracking progress.
