noseslide

Board tip slides

A noseslide is a skateboarding trick where the rider slides along an edge or rail with the front (nose) of the board while the body remains perpendicular to the obstacle.

The skater approaches, ollies onto the surface, and balances on the nose portion of the deck: He locked into a clean noseslide down the handrail.

Compare tailslide, which uses the rear of the board.
