By PatrickGB at 2009-10-02 03:32

Introduction

Okay the Backside Blunt looks alot harder then it is and can look ery good if done right like most tricks. There are 2 types of Backside Blunts the proper way of actually backside 180 into the ramp which looks better but is much much harder, or the improper way when you land 90 and then pivot or revert the rest. This is the improper way.

What You Need to Know

Tricks You Should Know: 

Basic ramp tricks for being used to the ramp. Very hard to learn this trick without having the basics down.

Other Skills: 

Backside Rock and Roll's- To be able to pivot into the ramp
Blunt to 5-0 pivot- This is what the trick is but notinstead of landing in 5-0 you will be landing in the ramp

What You May Find Useful: 

Pumping.

Doing The Trick

Positioning: 

Same as a rock to fakie except have you back foot more on the tail then the picture above.

Motion: 

Step 1-Getting into Blunt

If you don't know how to do this I'll try to explain.

You want to roll to the ramp you are trying this on with more speed then a rock to fakie but less speed then airing out of it, get enough speed to roll out of it.

Lean back and lift up your front truck and when you back wheels hit the coping try to slam your tail up by pushing it foward. Lean a little bit over to stay in the blunt but not to far otherwise you will get out of it.

Step 2- Popping it back in

Practise going into rock first so you will get jist of popping it in the ramp. You can do that by pushing on your back foot, It isn't the same as ollieing because you don't pop you push down and lean back.

Step 3 - Landing

Okay don't wind up your shoulders until you get into blunt. Once your in blunt shift your weight from foward to back when your are going to pop it back it in the ramp. Make sure your shoulders arn't to winded up to much as you only need to go 90 degress then pivot.

You have popped it back in and are floating into the ramp and spinning very slightly. When you land make sure you land in manual and be leaning more heelside so you don't fall foward. As soon as you land in manual pivot the rest with your shoulders first then your board and just put the front truck down do not slam them just do it lightly

Pump when you get towards the end to make it look good.

Troubleshooting

People only stack getting into blunts when they arn't going fast enough or they don't push it up far enough. You are going to fall on this trick but It doesnn't matter.
