What are you trying to 50-50 on? Rail Curb? box?

[elementy]

a circle rail

[BakerStencil]

Approach it Parralel Ollie onto the rail just try to land both trucks at once, then keep your balance center your weiht and once you get to the end of the rail, just drop off or Ollie off either or.

when i was learning i found it easier to come at an angle but being that its a rail you probably wanna do what the above guy said.

[sk8boy]

i think tail and nose slides are fun to do on curbs

[sk8boy]

plus why dont u start off with a flat rail if theres any by u

[Thrice]

even better, start on a curb

[sk8boy]

that too

[KickTheFlip]

round rails are harder to 50-50, try and find a flat bar. There are no other easier grinds then 50-50 but try crooks, just try different grings. some might come easier then others. You could also learn more slides, like front boards or lern new variations to boardslides like boardslide to fakie

or LipSlide

[Thrice]

no way, lipslides as a beginner trick, i think lipslides are hard as hell

[BakerStencil]

I dunno if you can do Front Boards Lips aren't much harder, I seriously hate Front Boardslides, they scare me to death.

i thought lipslides and boardslides were the same thing whats the difference

[frontside]

yep. wax up a curb and put 1 foot on the tail and 1 on the nose then go parralel to it and just pivot 90 and press on the nose

[oldscoolelement]

i always thought a boardslide is when the board is on top of the rail, and lipslide if when its boarding at an anlge, like on coping

[elementy]

a boardslide is when u ollie up and turn ure board 90 degrees either b/s or f/s. A lipslide is when u come at f/s or b/s but turn it into the oppisite. Like if u were gonna do a f/s where u face backwards on a boardslide u would face forward because u ollie and turn the oppiseite way.:eek:

Kids, boardslides are when the front trucks go over the rail first, and lipslides are when the rear trucks go over the rail first.
