Skate Trick Tips: Grinds and Slides

The 5-0

Author: Ryan Trafford
Date: May 11th 2003
Steps: 4


1)Get your feet in the ollie position, approach the curb at a moderate speed. You can approach the curb side on, or at an angle - whatever you find works best when trying this trick.

2)Ollie so that you are just above the curb, apply pressure with your back foot to the tail so that when you land, you are landing on your back truck with the front of the board raised off the ground like a manual.

3)Make sure the tail connects with the curb to allow you to grind more easily. Lean back so that the front of the board will not go down, keep most of your weight on the back foot so that the back truck is firmly locked in place on the curb.

4)When you decide that you want to come off the 5-0 or have run out of momentum the simplest way to get out of it is to just pivot on your back truck - turn away from the curb and roll away.
