50/50 stall

Here's the old school/freestyle trick the 50/50 stall. Just look at the above picture, that's what it looks like. 1) First, get in a tail stall position [the tail should be pushed down against the ground, the nose should be at about a 45 degree angle] 2) Put your front foot under the board, but keep the tail against the ground. 3) Now comes the tricky part. Pull your front foot up and toward you, so that it flips towards you. 4) Catch the board with your back hand and use it to balance while you quickly place your front foot on the wheels and trucks. 5) Balance for a while, then use the hand holding the nose to flip the board, so you can land back down on the griptape. I know that didn't make hardly any sense to you, but basically just try to get in that position that the picture ^up there^ shows. Good luck!
