50-50 on ledges/ curbs

[BlindSk8er]

i cant figure out how to get onto the ledge coming from an angle?? can sum 1 help a brotha out?

[Flipkid]

ollie, push your feet toward the edge, lock in, slide.

[PhisicalHazard]

You want to roll along side it, ollie well above the ledge, and kind of alley-oop onto it. Practive rolling and olliing up, and landing a foot or so fs of were you ollied. This will help.

[Nollie]

get good axle stalls, this helped me. and when youre hitting it at an angle just kind of aim for the curb and push yourself onto it

[Craig Himself]

dont learn anything standing still always move, its alot bludy easyer

if ur gona practise ollies moving for the first time, dont go really fast, take it easy, and dont try to go mega big, just try to land ollies well, then make them larger wen u hav the dialed.

as for 50-50, i find it alot easier coming at the ledge facing it, so it kinda keeps in line.

[iamflameboy]

for the 50-50 remember to keep your body paralellel to the curb and come at it from a 35 degree angle.. it helps you 'glide' over the curb and it also the momentum keeps you moving forwards so you wont lose speed when grinding

[BlindSk8er]

i have it now, THANX ALL!

[surrey_skater]

no problem

[iamflameboy]

now you have it down try and make it longer,faster and more stylish...;)... anyways good job man

[enjoyskater]

[shaggyskater]
