Boardslide/50-50 grind

[skatinkrazy]

I have a kink rail at home. (I am goig to get some sort of wooden ledge soon). So i was practicing my grinds. I always go for the 50-50 grind but it ends up being a boardslide. Are boardslides supposed to be easier? Becasue that is the one that seems easier for me. Or am I doing it wrong?

yeah Boardslides are generally Easier then a 50-50 Grind on a rail, MAbe its the mental thing, but I really dont know why, they just seem safer I guess? so your mind makes you jerk into a boardslide?

Yeah i have a rail. But hwen I get a halet (sp) from my dads factory (a small wooden kind of platform if you don't know what it is) I'm sure the 50-50 will be much easier. But yes I go for the 50-50 and it turns into a boardslide but i land the boardslide.

Will it still be harder to 50-50 on a halet? Or iwl that become easier then the boardslide?

dont worry bro, i learned to boardslide WAYYY before i could 5050, after you get one or two fifties they'll be easier tahn boardslides, well, down stuff anyways, thats how it is for me, might be different for you, good luck man! keep shreddin!

The Problem might be that you going up to the rail and trying to grind it back-on. Usually to learn the rail has to be infront of you.
