50-50 Grind

1. First you have to know how to do shifty ollies to do a 50-50 grind.

2. Look for a ledge to ollie up on to (start with ledges then move on to rails)

3. Get speed and come up next to the ledge.

4. When your next to the ledge ollie up onto it, but do not land totally on the ledge. Land with half of your trucks on the ledge and half off.

5. Try to balance your weight out, and bend your knees to get lots of balance.

6. Stay as balanced as you can while you grind across the ledge.

7. As you see the edge of the ledge do a manual a little bit before the end to get your front truck in the air.

8. When your get to the edge of the ledge keep your front truck in the air and just let your board and yourself go to the ground.

9. During the drop off of the edge try to stay above your board.

10. When you land try to land over your trucks and then ride away.

11. Hint - Try to just 50-50 stall on curbs and pop them off, then try to grind.
