How to Do a Frontside Bluntslide on a Skateboard
Skateboarding is an extremely competitive sport in which people are always looking to perform far better than anyone else around them. One of the ways for people to do this is by going on to perform a lot of tricks on their skateboards.
One of the harder tricks to perform, involve grinding on objects, while skating over them. The frontside bluntslide/tailslide is one of the moves that people love to perform simply because of its complex nature, and how good it looks once you pull it off successfully.

Now before you go ahead and try to pull off the frontside bluntslide, you need to get comfortable with doing ollies. After you have perfected your ollies, start to practice doing 180 degree turns while you Ollie. This is going to be a little harder to do, but with the right amount of practice, you should be able to do it properly.

Apply pressure on the ball of your rear foot and push down on the other end of the board once you are done sliding. Keep the nose of the board in an upwards position, until the tail is ready to come off. Once this happens, just perform a slight jump Ollie and land back on the flat ground below you.
