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.

I still think it's a great trick to warm up to blunts.

But now I have some fear about it.

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.

A week and a half ago I hung up several times while trying switch blunts.

I thought it was fine because my ramps are small, but one hang-up felt different&mdash;I think I experienced whiplash.

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.

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.

This approach is partly inspired by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh0YaEjs3oo">SquareState Skate</a>.

Whether I ever do another blunt to fakie or not, I'm still proud that I landed some.

Regardless of the injuries, I'm still proud that I landed this trick.

When I started skateboarding back in 2022, I never imagined that I'd do a blunt to fakie.

Heck, I never imagined I'd do most of the tricks that I've learned so far.
