Heres a little tip: the secret to noseblocks, nosepicks, whatever...

[Will_B]

do them in the fresh piles of wet gloppy snow left from the snow guns. your tips dig in juuuuust right, allowing you to tip-stand with ease. pop, lock, and ride away with a little happy glint in your eyes.

try it!!

 

[hollygrove]

pffffft, snow guns.

I hate skiing at places that blow snow.

 

[Shadows]

what?

 

[Scolson]

If you lived in Wisconsin you wouldn't be skiing then.....

 

[TheButterHashira]

Most of the country is that way.

That sounds like a good idea, I want to try those this season.

 

[DrStrangelove]

yah but i hate when visibility is low and you dont see those fuckers...it's like hitting a patch of concrete, it just puts the brakes on ya

 

[strongmark]

pshhh them shits are SO last season

 

[Will_B]

^pssh, you mean them shits are so EVERY season!

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

Or just on an adjacent slope on a run seems to work pretty well.

 

[hollygrove]

Well luckily I don't then

 

[Jwalk]

do you mean like a nose butter or whats a noseblock

 

[3rdgearpinned]

get some

 

[Alex_thedroog]

I have gone a handful of times this year. and my first was my best so far

now I am working on hand drags.

 

[Will_B]

no, not a nose butter. its like a tip stand, sans pole-planting, with a tail grab. garret russel does em alot, blake nyman did a trick tip video for it also. noseblock is a snowboard term.

 

[rudeboy_87]

well arent you just a spoiled little shit...

Bad idea, Willy Wesson broke his ski like that last weekend. He ski kept digging in and flexing backwards and one time SNAP! there goes a ski.

 

[jonkreation]

So I've been rockin these this season, but I'm lookin for a little tip from my fellow NSers so I can make em a lil more consistent.

When you're doin noseblocks are you kinda jumping initially and then digging the tips in or are you going with a weight shifting, skis bending gradually approach?

 

[steevner]

just get super low then rock up into it. no jumping.

 

[blindside]

lol blake's trick tip for nosepicks is probably one of the worst tutorials I've ever seen. He just says get on your tips and balance. Wow, thanks blake!

 

[inactive]

mmmhmmmm

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

or you just learn to noseblock

 

[~~JEFF~~]
