The BS Noseslide is a lot easier than the FS Noseslide and thus the better choice to start with. But only because it’s easy it doesn’t mean it’s less attractive!
For a Backside Noseslide you should already have Backside Boardslides on lock as well as FS 180 Ollies. The BS Noseslide is a nice basic trick that works on nearly every grindable surface or obstacle.

1. Approach the ledge almost parallel while you put your feet in an Ollie position and ollie up towards the ledge.
2. To get your nose on the ledge you have to do half a FS 180 Ollie, so a Frontside 90 degree Ollie.
Aim with your nose onto the ledge and shift all your weight on it once you have locked in. It’s important to lock your nose at exactly 90 degrees otherwise you might get stuck.
3. Make sure your weight is balanced, so you don’t stick and fall forward or slip out and fall back.
4. At the end of the ledge, push your board with the nose forward back into a straight rolling position.
You can also try to pop out off the side of the ledge by popping your nose a bit and by slightly twisting the board with your shoulders and your back foot.
5. To get comfortable, it can help to practice going straight into the ledge, doing an Ollie, and landing in the nose slide position without sliding.
