Nose Press Style...

[pat_0101]

I've seen them done a few different ways and juct curious what everyone thinks looks better. The DNA ad on page 36 of the December freeskier (sorry, no pic, i haven't learned how to do that yet...) John spriggs is doing one, and he is basically standing up and only leaning forward a little bit. I'm comparing this to a poster i have of Tanner doing one and he is bent completely over at the hips like he's trying to touch his toes...

Any thoughts? Personally i prefer Spriggs'.

 

[gillahouse10]

WORD, Both are dope.

 

[00000000]

frank raymond...thats how you do a nose press

 

[robbieA]

john spriggs is also like 6'4" so it doesnt take as much leaning to balance himself

 

[eheath]

Or you could do them however you want?

 

[scientist]

wit all do respect its all relative. becasue hes taller hes heavier, so He would have to do the exact same thing to keep himself balanced.

 

[sandybov.ill]

john spriggs only does it for liek the last 1/4th of the rail

 

[camp_champ]

Yo, I can get the nose press down, but I can't smoothly come off the end of the rail how do you come off clean

 

[wh@t]

when your leading ski reachs the end, rotate 90 deg. and pull your knees into your stomach as you turn. stomp it and straighten up.

 

[roussillon]

that's exact. and his skis are longer and a lot of other facts make the nose press the same difficulty from a person to another... I guess

 

[B.L.A.K.E]

spriggs is 6'4 atleast, i stood next to the guy he is HUGE.

 

[Grimace.]

tailpress are better anyways

 

[Trashpuppet]

both are sick some people try to get to styled and it doesnt work for em.. just do it how ever u makes u look good

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

The best nosepress picture I've ever seen is the one of Eric Pollard in Axis like 5 years ago.

 

[hoodratz47]

rainbow in japan^ yeah.. that was like Oh fuck!

 

[DynastarriderGP]

i dig the spriggs nose press

 

[chairdawg]

tanner hall does gorilla steeze too so i think that might be what hes going for

 

[SlickRick.]

that dna add.... a boarder saw it at my school at starting laughing about how lame it was and that we cant take a boarder trick cause it will look like shit. another kid saw hoot brown's nose press, and was like "man i really dont give skiing anough credit with style"

[kingarthurs]

idk if you have seen him before, but he is super skinny. i doubt he ways alot

 

[*rkp*]

shameless self-promotion...........

 

[*rkp*]

ahh w/e w/e.......in my photo section..

 

[mind_Riot39]

i like the one that pollard does in his self edit

 

[CJHski]

nose presses are ill any way they are done

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

spriggs was way farther out too. t$'s = lame

 

[313ridah]

fo reels. sept hen dat shytes don won, den it luks strat up fucked.

 

[laxlax5]

The sweetest nose press ive seen was in push/pull. I believe it is only in pull and eric pollard. It is sort of a bonk press on a box but it is amazing.

 

[Ryanvdonk]

im pissed i can't find it, but there used to be this sick pic of pollard doing a huge nose press at northstar, it was on line's site last year and in some of their adds i think. also, back in the day mike nick had a filthy nose press on the top of this concrete wall thing that was also a line add.

 

[Uncle_Remus]

 

[jp_draves]

haha i like this one

 

[Mills]

Eric Pollard is the only skier i've seen do an actual true Nose PRESS. All those pics are real sick though

 

[iskindiana]

^that one isnt fair or cool becuase itsa specific setup for that trick. and hes only on there for like a second or two... he couldnt do that on anything bigger (sorry to ruin your day, kid who has wet dreams about pollard)

 

[Anti-Hero]

Far right....

pollard is kickass

 

[Anti-Hero]

whatever, copy and paste link, you wont be dissapointed..

 

[A@ron]

any rail that tanner does looks steezy

 

[dom_uk]

 

[dom_uk]

damn!anyway that pic is rediculous

 

[supportillmitch]

i think the pic of the guy with the orange hat and white coat is by far the best. i definately prefer the subtle lean, rather than the exagerated lean where you you can practically touch your tips.

 

[IHOP]

Spriggs looks different because he pulls his heels back and Slides onto his nose like 3/4 of the way through the rail. Its definitely sick, he just has a different idea/style of nose slide.

 

[almostaskier]

 

[snarky]

yeah i think either the subtle lean just a little in front of the bindings or pollards straight press

 

[steezeninja]

Word. That one is sick!

 

[fouldsys]

that is fucking sick

 

[poofartpee]

nosepresses are sick either way

 

[bundy]

either way is sik just it looks liek nosepresses are more dope

 

[Alex_thedroog]

nose presses and nollies are the funnest things to do on skis

other then hand drags.

 

[Hctiws_iks]

pollard always

back in axis on that little rainbow rail in japan

 

[Ceru]

what the.....

at first i thought it was a different language

pollards self edit one is the greatest nose press evaaa. theres another sick one in the top rated

 

[Ceru]

 

[parkerhouse]

i'm sorry that is the gayest looking grind ever, his style is so forced. But done right nosepresses are my

 

[parkerhouse]

whoops favorite trick
