50-50 to Front Board

1. Find a nice flat down box or rail to get started. Make sure that your knees are nice and bent to ensure better balance.

2. Depending on how much pop the jump onto the rail gives, ollie enough to get onto the rail, bending your knees to keep it stylish. For the first 50-50 part, make sure that the base of your board stays flat, and don’t get on any edges. Keeping your eyes on the end of the rail will ensure that you get there with enough speed to transfer into a front board.

3. For the front board, pop just enough to adjust your weight toward your front foot, and lean forward.

4. Make sure to keep your weight over your front foot and look toward the end. Make sure you stay confident, because you are about to land this super-styley maneuver.

6. Remember to keep your knees bent, spot your landing, and ride away. Now you’re the coolest kid on the block for landing this sweet 50-50 to front board!
