How To Frontside Blunt 270 With Snowboarder Dylan Thompson: The Trick ep. 4

Dylan Thompson checks in with Preston Strout to teach you the Front blunt 270s out! Dylan explains the basics from a mellow approach to really locking in over your back foot. Once on the rail, make sure to keep turning your head as you slide to pop the 270 with ease. Get these down and then make sure to film a few with your crew!

Watched this trick tip this morning, and just learnt it on our back yard jib 3rd try. Thank you mr thompson.

Still haven't learned this, but I will before the year's over and submit a vid. I've got front board pretzel on lock, and my favorite techy trick is cab 270 off the toes to back lip. Can't believe I still can't do blunt to full's....

[olson]

Technically yes, but since many snowboard tricks stem from skating, we visualize having trucks when naming the tricks. The front and back foot act as the spot where the truck would be. So, if most of your weight is on your back foot after throwing the front 3/4 of the board over the rail, we call it blunt.

The trick to the trick, like Dylon said, is to get your head and shoulders around and look at the landing while you are still on the rail, and not pop off until you are at the very end.  Be patient.  If you are at the end of the feature, and you are still looking uphill, it is very difficult to snap the 270 around.  If you have your head and shoulders already downhill, the 270 is a cinch.

What is it called when you do a backside boardslide but do a frontside 270 off?

[TheMidwestboarder]

Dude are u joking the have bungees for street snowboarding! There are snowboard movies of just street snowboarding like holy smokes...

[olichapman]

its essentially a frontboardslide 270 out except its called a blunt as its not hit central to the board :)

[roadrunnerblink]

could've gone either way, unlucky mate.

Backside board revert 270, at least that is what I think.

[adolfH]

[matthewgullidge]

im not a snowboarder, im a skateboarder. isnt this just a front board??

[Daniel-ozdm]

A good blunt needs it to be right on the tail or at least the tail half of your foot, a few of these look like board slides

[alfredoking]

you could call it a back board pretzel out

[olichapman]
