How To 50-50

[Grammar Nazi]

Today i will show you how to 50-50 grind on a skateboard.

First of all, this is what a 50-50 grind looks like:

What you need:

-skateboard
-helmet
-rail or ledge
-any other desired pads

Procedure:

Step 1 -

You need to find a nice place to perform this grind. I suggest a ledge, but rails work also.

A ledge like this is PERFECT:

Step 2 -

Start about 20 feet away from the ledge. Push yourself towards it at a comfortable speed. Not too fast, not too slow.

Step 3 -

When riding towards the ledge/rail, put your feet in the ollie position.

Step 4 -

When you are at the ledge/rail, perform an ollie exactly how you normally would. Make sure you will land it on the edge of the rail. Bend your knees as you land on the ledge/rail.

Step 5 -

Keep your weight balanced as you grind your way down the ledge.

Step 6 -

When you have reached the end of the rail/ledge, give your board a slight pop on the back end. This will get you off the rail/ledge safely.

Now you know how to 50-50 grind.
