Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Ryder Mackey, and I'm here today with Expert Village, and I'm going to talk to you about the 50 50 grind. As you can see there is a curb right behind me, and that's one of the main obstacles you would use for this trick. And you want to approach the curb at a comfortable speed, not too fast, not too slow, just where you feel comfortable. You want to approach it with you knees bent on your skateboard, and in ollie position. You want to prepare to ollie, up onto the curb. And your going to approach at a 45 degree angle, and as your ollieing onto the curb, you want to turn your shoulders just a little bit, so that you can straighten out your angle to match the curb. And when you land onto the curb you want to, your trucks to be as far over it as possible, so your just barely, so that most of your truck is on it. And as your grinding, you just want to keep your balance, maybe keep your arms out to keep you balance, grind as long as possible. And then put your, shift your weight just a little bit to your back tail, so that your front end will come up, and then just kick flip off the curb."
