What is a "nose press"?
A nose press is a trick found in snowboarding and skiing in which the rider shifts their weight onto the nose of the board or skis, which is the front part of the equipment, while keeping the tail slightly lifted. It can usually be performed on flat areas or while going over a feature such as a rail or box. By applying downward pressure on the nose of the board, the rider manages to keep control and maintain balance while looking sleek. This trick requires perfect timing and balance to perform properly and often adds an edge to a rider's run.
Examples
