nosegrind

Front truck grind

A nosegrind is a skateboarding trick where the rider grinds along an edge or rail with only the front truck of the board making contact, the tail lifted.

The skater must balance over the nose while sliding, requiring precise weight distribution.

It's considered more difficult than a standard grind because the natural stance favors the back truck.
