It is a slide where you bear down on your front foot, which is the nose of the board, and lift your rear foot.
How do it
The nosepress is a slide in which you bear down on your front leg and lift your rear leg (hence the name).
1.
Begin your approach.
2.
Perform an ollie, jump up as if doing a 50-50, but shift your body weight onto your front foot and land on it. Your rear foot must not touch the railing on entry, and the board should be strictly parallel to the rail — otherwise your execution will not be considered clean.
3.
Keep your eyes on the end of the rail. Rotate your shoulders in the direction of movement and lower them down, leaning on the handle (in your front hand) to balance your raised rear leg.
4.
Your front leg should be slightly bent, and rear leg completely straight.
5.
When riding off slightly bend your front leg and push off with it, executing a nollie.
