The nosegrind is an advanced skateboarding trick that requires balance and speed. This is not a trick for amatuers to attempt, as a decent knowledge of basic skateboard skills is required.

To nosegrind the front of the skateboard, called the front truck, grind across the curb or rail. A skateboarder begins by building speed, as a high speed is required to successfully perform this trick. The skateboarder must set his back foot on the tail and the front foot directly behind the front wheels, commonly called the ollie position. The skateboarder then must leap into the air, bringing the board up without holding onto the board. This trick is referred to as an ollie.

However, unlike the ollie, to complete a nosegrind the board must land only on the front truck and grind across until the end of the curb or rail. Speed is very important in order to have momentum to move the board across without stopping.

The nosegrind is a recent version of the New Deal, a vert trick created by Neil Blender.
