A blunt nose slide is a variation of the Wheelie but with an interesting twist. A blunt nose slide is a Wheelie done on the front and side of your snowboard. Doing the same trick on the rear of your snowboard is a switch-stance blunt nose slide. The two key elements to this trick are the wheelie and the slide. You must be very proficient at both before trying them together. A slide is fairly easy to get the hang of and mostly likely is how you first learnt to stop on your snowboard. As you are.
