Nose press tap out

Origin regression!The basics in the basics that you should remember before practicing flashy techniques
by Kenichi Takizawa (Kenichi Takizawa: Rider introduction movie

Do you think that the image of Gratley is [flying and spinning]?
There are basic ways to use the body to fly and turn.

That is [press]

This [press] is an action of sliding while bending the board,
Simply put, it's a trick to slip while standing on one leg.

In the case of Gratley, you will always stand on one leg when you bend the board.
The board does not bend when jumping with both feet.

By practicing this one-legged state [press]
You can learn how to use the body axis that is common to all techniques.

For those who have never practiced the press
Please go back to the basics and practice again ♪

XNUMX. The pelvis is protruding in the direction of travel from the forefoot
The posture that the center of gravity is firmly on the forefoot
It will be the position of this pelvis.
If the center of gravity is on the forefoot, you can make an axis.

XNUMX. Stretch your hind legs firmly
By extending the hind legs, the center of gravity shifts to the front legs.
By bending the knees of the front legs and extending the knees of the hind legs
It will be a sharp nose press.

First, the position of the head and hips!
When pressing the nose, it is important that the head and hips are directly above the nose!
It is an image of going to sit firmly on the nose.
Second, the upper body turns to the side!
If the upper body opens in the direction of travel, the board will not be stable and will not be able to slide straight.The upper body is right next to you!Only the line of sight is the direction of travel!
Third, the position of the forearm!
Make sure your forearm is in the direction of travel!At this time, it is easier to keep the axis if you bend your elbows and make it stick out forward!
The last important thing is to "relax" and lightly tap the tail from Norry ♪
With the above three points, you are also a fashionable nose press tap master ♪

Junji Yamamoto (Junji Yamamoto: Rider introduction movie
"How to charm" is important for the press.
No matter how much the board floats, the coolness of the bad posture will be halved.
So, in the case of this nose press, I think it's better to be aware of squeezing the upper and lower body firmly (reverse movement).And it is ◎ to do as lightly as possible
Let's improve the perfection of the technique and make it look good!

How to balance with nose press
1 Make your shoulders parallel
Because it becomes a forefoot load
Be especially aware of raising your front shoulders.
The second line of sight is in the direction of travel
If you look down, you can easily lose your balance, so take the courage to look in the direction of travel.
3 Load the knee of the forefoot inward
Put your weight inward from the knees of your forefoot to keep your center of gravity in front of you.

Nose press looks easy and difficult, so let's start by practicing with these three points in mind from a stationary state!

Daiki Yoshitake (Daiki Yoshitake: Rider introduction movie
If you think about the angle of the slope in the same way as Norie, you need to put more weight on the nose and valley side than you think.
What I am aware of in the manual and press is not to put on the forefoot and then gradually put the weight on the forefoot.
The moment you get on the car, you have to fix the posture of the upper body, which is the position of the center of gravity.
After that, I can't keep it, so the moment I touch the forefoot when I ollie, I momentarily solidify the center of gravity and upper body and step on the forefoot.

Kazuki Tanaka (Paul Kazuki Tanaka: Rider introduction movie
Let's practice what we explained when we were Norry.
Since there are many derivative tricks in the nose press, it is a recommended trick because the repertoire will naturally increase if the completeness of the nose press single shot is increased.
Step on the nose press foot to make a nory, but adjust it so that it is parallel in the air after takeoff.
And landing on both feet, first make sure that you can land on both feet perfectly.There is no tap in the video.
When you can land on both feet perfectly, tap it.If the timing and power are matched, it will be a trick like a movie.
As a feeling, it is good to take off and make the boards parallel, and then go to trample the tail vigorously.It's a good idea to pull your nory legs with accents to your body.
Also, since you will step on the tail when tapping, you will take off again in reaction.Also here, make sure that the boards are parallel and land on both feet.

Yohei Muroi (Yohei Muroi: Rider introduction movie
When you enter with an ollie, bring the center of gravity directly above your forefoot.
At this time, the knee of the forefoot is bent and twisted inward,
Be conscious of stretching your hind legs!
Balance can be achieved by making the arms parallel.
Raise your elbows to lock your arm's wobbling and it will stabilize!

Hideki Kishinami (Hideki Kishinami: Rider introduction movie
1 Lightly ollie and create an opportunity to ride on the nose
2 Place the center of gravity firmly on the feet of your forefoot
3 Keep your shoulders horizontal and balance
* If either shoulder is lowered or the head is lowered, the balance cannot be maintained and the board cannot be placed well!
* Keep your head within the range of the board without sticking it out from the nose.

Rei Takahashi (Rei Takahashi: Rider introduction movie
Press axis balance adjustment
I think it will be easier to balance if you imagine that the chest position is on the vertical line with respect to the axis of the foot on the nose side that is being pressed.
In addition, it is easier to balance by squeezing the knees of the shaft legs inward.
Also be aware of keeping your shoulders horizontal when pressing.
I think it will be even easier to grasp the balance.

Hyodo Ryu (Ryu Hyodo: Rider introduction movie
The point of the nose press is the position of the waist rather than stepping on it with your feet. (Image of sticking out the waist in the direction of travel)
Keep your eyes on the front, and keep the line connecting your shoulders parallel to the ground so that your front shoulders don't go down!
I'm stepping on the side of the boots on the little finger side with the image of leaning against them!

Ryota Tanaka (Ryota Tanaka: Rider introduction movie
Part XNUMX First, nose press
Part XNUMX Do not lower your eyes
XNUMX. Buttocks, hips and head on the nose side legs.Please put the center of gravity on it.Normally, you will have a position in the center of the board, but when you do a nose press, dare to bring the center of gravity on the foot on the nose side so that you can raise the tail.
Even if you are not wearing a snowboard, I would like you to stand in front of the mirror and put the center of gravity on the foot on the nose side, or put the center of gravity on the foot on the tail side to expand the image.

XNUMX. Do not lower your eyes.
If you lower your eyes too much, your feet on the nose side will weigh more and more than the nose, making it easier for you to fall.
While looking in the direction of travel, please be careful not to drop your eyes too much.
Also, I think it's easier to spread your arms to make it easier to balance!

If you remember the nose press tap-out, I hope you will try it on items such as boxes!
