Expertise
I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience
Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.

Skateboarding - 50-50 Grind


Expert: Max - 7/21/2006

Question
ok, i can ollie a far amount of height, but i really wanted to learn how to 50-50. Every time i try to do one (usually i do it on a curb) its hard to get the back wheel on an i mess up. The curb is greased plenty. Can you tell me how to 50-50?

Answer
Good idea to start on curbs. What I say is you should find an unwaxed curb that borders some grass, so if the fear factor is decreased. Practice ollieing up and landing on both trucks, then turning off. I can't exactly tell you how to lock in, it should come natural at some point if you keep practicing at it. Get really comfortable with your ollies and pop it, and put your feet on the curb, kind of guiding the board in mid-air to land on it. Practice, practice, practice. Good luck.
