How to 50-50 Grind on a Skateboard
The 50-50 is most likely the first grind you ought to learn, it is when both of your trucks are grinding on a ledge or rail. Initial off, find yourself a small ledge or curb and wax it with some candles. To make certain it is going to grind wonderful and smooth push your trucks along it and keep rewaxing until it turns to a wonderful silverish colour.
Stage 1. Approach the ledge at an nearly parallel angle, a large mistake that some skaters make is that they go at it at too major of an angle, which makes it harder to lock in and grind.
Action 2. As you get for the curb pop an ollie and bring your feet towards the curb.
Move 3. Slam onto the ledge with both trucks and make certain you have your knees bent and are prepared to grind… meaning shoulders square towards the board with your weight balanced between the front and the back of your board.
Phase 4. As you grind along the ledge commence to get ready to pop out by placing your back foot on the tail.
Stage 5. Slowly begin to lean back and apply pressure to your tail, as if you were doing a manual.
Action 6. Your board should fall nicely off the ledge and now it’s just a matter of finding your balance once you hit the ground and riding away.
Step 7: Once you’ve done one, do another hundred of them since this trick is key for future grinds.
