NOSE MANUAL ON A SKATEBOARD
One of my favorite tricks is the nose manuals.
This is a great trick that offers endless combinations. This trick isn’t the easiest, but it is easy to master once you have learned how to do manual. These tricks require you to be able to balance well and control your skateboard. This trick requires you to be able ollie and manually comfortably.
A nose manual faces the following challenges:
- Balance
- Steering
- Speed
Set up this trick
Begin skating and then move into position. Front foot on the curve of your nose, rear foot on the bolt at the rear. Your knees should be bent slightly. Keep your torso straight and lift your tail by transferring your weight onto your front foot.
Lift your arms up to the sides. Adjust the position of your hips and torso as needed. Push down with your back foot to maintain your balance and to stabilize your board.
Finalize by landing the board on the ground and transferring your weight onto it.
It takes a lot of practice to become a good nose manual, so don’t stop practicing!
Balance a Nose Manual
It’s best to practice rolling nose manuals on flat ground before you attempt it. Stand on your skateboard, and balance on your front wheels.
After you are able to balance a nose manual while standing still for a few seconds, then you can learn how to roll. Begin slowly and then move forward to lift the back wheels off of the ground. It’s that simple!
Balance Improvement
Here are some tips to help you balance your bank account.
- Begin by standing still, holding on to something and balancing on the nose. This can be done on grass or carpet. This will allow you to feel the pressure that your feet are under.
- To hold your board in place, stick the front wheels of the board into a crack in concrete. This trick can be repeated without grabbing anything.
Take control of your skateboard
The back trucks are used for most of the normal skateboarding. The front trucks are more responsive than the back trucks, and require more practice.
Even though you are able to do nose manuals on flat ground, it can be difficult to ollie into nose manuals correctly. It is all about being able and willing to do the work. Before you start, you should be able to easily ollie the manual pad or box.
This trick can be landed by using momentum
You can use momentum to move the back wheels towards the end of the nose manual. When you are attempting to remove the skate obstacle, it is a good idea to bonk your nose.

Nose Manual Tips
Stance
This trick has a similar stance to the Ollie, but your lead foot is closer to the front bolts.
Your front foot should point slightly towards the nose when you land on the manual pad. Your back foot should rest over the bolts. Your front leg will bear most of your weight and pressure, while your back leg will hold the skateboard steady.
Fear
This trick can be both frustrating and intimating. You won’t likely want to lean forward too much so that your back wheels touch.
Continue to try until you reach the tipping point. Do not be afraid to fall forward. It’s not failure, it’s learning. It’s the way you learn. You will get better if you keep trying.
Practice
