54- I haven't done a blunt nose grab in about a month.
55- When trying switch blunt nose grab, I think I dislocated a rib.
56- I still think it's a great trick to warm up to blunts.
57- But now I have some fear about it.
54+ I did my first blunt to fakie 3 months ago today.
55+ Since then I've done them on larger ramps and also I've done a few switch blunts.
56+ However, my confidence is currently shaken.

60- A week and a half ago I hung up several times while trying switch blunts.
61- I thought it was fine because my ramps are small, but one hang-up felt different—I think I experienced whiplash.
62- For 2 or 3 days afterward I felt the side effects.
63- I need to get my confidence back up, and also I want to focus on eliminating the hang ups.
63+ My plan to get back into blunts is to take a step back, and get more comfortable with blunt nose grabs.
64+ Once I feel comfortable with those, I'll start working on the ollie version of the trick again.
65+ This approach is partly inspired by < a href ="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh0YaEjs3oo "> SquareState Skate</ a > .

66- Whether I ever do another blunt to fakie or not , I'm still proud that I landed some .
68+ Regardless of the injuries , I'm still proud that I landed this trick .
6769 When I started skateboarding back in 2022, I never imagined that I'd do a blunt to fakie.
6870 Heck, I never imagined I'd do most of the tricks that I've learned so far.
