Then nudge yoke foward. If the landing is super



Why would you have to "nudge" the yoke forward unless you're carrying too
much airspeed? In a proper Cessna 152 landing, you're pulling the yoke
back as you bleed off airspeed in order to ease the nosewheel down. There's
no forward nudging. The nose is going to come down eventually no matter
what.

Previously you wrote:

At the moment before touch-down push the yoke easy forward and I do a 3
point landing


That puts undue stress on the nosewheel, especially in a soft-terrain
environment. Published procedure is to hold the nosewheel off for as long
as possible (which is done by pulling back on the yoke) and ease it to the
ground as gently as possible.
