1. Ride up parallel to the ledge with the ledge behind you. Your feet are in the ollie position with your front foot in the middle of the bolts of the front truck.

2. Bend down right before you want to pop and look at the ledge while doing so. This will make your shoulders turn slightly towards the ledge before popping.

3. Right after you pop, all your weight should shift towards the nose, enabling you to hold your whole body on only the nose while on the ledge. Try to keep your upper body looking into the direction you are riding while only the lower body turns 90 degrees towards the ledge.

4. If your foot is placed on the middle of the nose, you should now be sliding on the ledge. Sliding comes easier the more you only turn your lower body into the noseslide while keeping your upper body facing your forward riding direction.

5. When approaching the end of the ledge, give your board a little push with the front foot into your riding direction. This should make it slide out and off the ledge back to your riding direction.

6. When landing, bend your knees and aim to have your feet over the trucks of the board to ride away smoothly.

1. Ride up parallel to the ledge with the ledge in front of you. Your feet are in the ollie position with your front foot in the middle of the bolts of the front truck.

2. Bend down right before you want to pop off and look at the ledge while doing so. This will make your shoulders turn slightly towards the ledge before popping.

3. Right after you pop, all your weight should shift towards the nose, enabling you to hold your whole body on only the nose on the ledge. Try to keep your upper body facing the direction you are riding while only the lower body turns the whole 90 degrees towards the ledge.

4. If your foot is placed on the middle of the nose, you should now be sliding backwards on the ledge. During the backwards slide, you want to keep light pressure on your toes to keep the slide moving across the ledge. Your upper body should be turned almost parallel to the edge of the ledge.

5. When approaching the end of the ledge, give your board a little push with the front foot into your riding direction. If you´ve only turned your lower body/legs, the board should turn almost automatically back into the riding direction.

6. When landing, bend your knees and aim to have your feet over the trucks of the board to ride away smoothly.

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the ledge with the ledge in front of you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the ledge you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop slightly higher than the ledge. Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel to both your board as well as the edge of the ledge. Land with both trucks on the ledge at the same time, having your body centered over the board.

3. While grinding, keep your weight right over the edge of the ledge. At the same time, your back foot should shift slightly towards the tail preparing you to come out of the grind.

4. When reaching the end of the ledge, your weight should shift to your back foot to slightly lift the front truck off the ledge to drop off the end.

5. When landing, keep your weight above the board and bend slightly your knees.

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the ledge with the ledge behind you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the ledge you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop slightly higher than the ledge. Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel to both your board as well as the edge of the ledge. Land with both trucks on the ledge at the same time, having your body centered over the board.

3. While grinding, keep your weight right over the edge of the ledge. At the same time, your back foot should shift slightly towards the tail preparing you to come out of the grind.

4. When reaching the end of the ledge, your weight should shift to your back foot to slightly lift the front truck off the ledge to drop off the end.

5. When landing, bend your knees and keep your weight above the board. 

1. Ride up parallel to the rail with the rail behind you. Your feet are in the ollie position with your front foot slightly below the front truck.

2. Bend down right before you want to pop off and look at the rail while doing so. This will make your shoulders turn slightly towards the rail before popping.

3. When you ollie and aim for the contact of the center of your deck with the rail, make sure your board has made a 90 degree fs ollie. Your shoulders should follow simultaneously which sends you into a boardslide.

4. In the beginning, you might want to start at only the very end of the rail so you don’t have to focus so much on balancing the slide. The longer you aim to slide, balance will come into play, but you should naturally get a feeling for that quite quickly. Try not to turn your shoulders all the way 90 degrees as it can help you to get out of the boardslide easier at the end of the rail.

5. When approaching the end of the rail, turn your board back 90 degrees to ride away forward. The less you turn your shoulders beforehand, the easier it will be to land off the end of the rail. If coming out to fakie comes more naturally, it's a sign you’re turning your shoulders too much.

6. When landing, bend at your knees and aim to have your feet over the trucks of the board to ride away smoothly.

1. Ride up parallel to the rail with the rail in front of you. Your feet are in an ollie position with your front foot slightly below the front truck.

2. Bend down right before you want to pop off and look at the rail while doing so. However, try to keep your shoulders parallel with the rail.

3. When you ollie and aim for the contact of the center of your deck with the rail, make sure your board has made a 90 degree bs ollie. In contrast to a regular boardslide, pretty much only your lower body turns 90 degrees over the rail, whereas your upper body keeps looking into the forward direction. Your eyes and head should stay looking forward towards the end of the rail.

4. When approaching the end of the rail, rotate your lower body back 90 degrees to ride away forward. Try to picture throughout the trick that all the movement mainly happens in your lower body, which will make coming out easier.

5. When landing, your feet and board should basically just follow your upper body to turn back to a forward position. Bend at the knees and ride away smoothly.

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the rail with the rail in front of you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the rail you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop higher than the rail, keeping your upper body facing the direction you are moving. When the board has reached the height of the rail, you will guide the board with a frontside 180 motion, bringing the rear truck over the opposite side of the rail. This rotation is done primarily with your lower body.

3. Try to hit the rail with the middle of your board. The combination of the lower legs turning the board into a 90 degree angle to the rail and your upper body looking towards the end of the rail should help you keep the right balance while sliding.

4. As the end of the rail approaches, turn your board back 90 degrees into the forward riding direction. The less you have turned the upper body when hitting the rail, the easier it will be to guide the board into the forward riding direction when you get to the end.

5. When landing, bend at your knees but be aware, your upper body might not be completely back in the forward facing direction of your board. Keep your head and eyes facing forward and it should help you land clean.

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the ledge with the ledge in front of you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the ledge you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop slightly higher than the ledge. Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel to both your board as well as the edge of the ledge. When at the highest point of the Ollie, center your weight over the back truck/tail of the board. Land with only the back truck on the ledge.

3. While grinding, keep your weight on the back truck/tail. Technically, a Frontside 5-0 grind is similar to doing a manual. However, you’ll want to lean back slightly farther than a manual and keep pressure on the back truck to “push through” the grind. The grind will have resistance on the truck and the pressure on the truck will help keep it grinding across the ledge.

4. When reaching the end of  the ledge, you can practically just keep going since you are already in the drop-out position. Still, you can add a little bit of pop out to make the trick look cleaner.

5. When landing, shift your weight back completely above the board to prevent falling backwards and bend your knees. 

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the ledge with the ledge behind you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the ledge you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop slightly higher than the ledge. Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel to both your board as well as the edge of the ledge. When at the highest point of the ollie, center your weight over the back truck/tail. Land with the back truck on the ledge and your upper body still parallel to the edge of the ledge.

3. While grinding, keep your weight on the back truck and on the tail only. Technically, a Backside 5-0 grind is similar to a manual. However, this trick can have a tendency for the outside wheel to “ride up” onto the ledge while grinding. Therefore, you’ll want to keep the grind centered on your truck during the trick.

4. When reaching the end of the ledge, you can practically just keep going since you are already in the drop-out position. Still, you can add a little bit of pop to make the trick look cleaner.

5. When landing, shift your weight back completely above the board to prevent falling backwards and bend your knees.

1. Approach the rail riding parallel with the rail behind you. Be aware you have to be able to ollie as high as the rail.

2. Bend at your knees and pop, keeping your body and shoulders in a parallel line with the board.

3. Let the front truck go over the rail mid air and extend out your front leg in preparation for the front truck to hang over the opposite side of the rail. Lean your body weight over your back foot/back truck and lock the back truck onto the rail with your weight over the heel side of the board.

4. Keep your weight leaning back over your back truck and keep your front leg extended out, guiding the nose of the board next to the rail as you grind.

5. When you reach the end of the rail, continue keeping your weight over your back foot/truck and guide the nose of the board off the end of the rail. Keep your body parallel to the board and let the back truck drop off the rail.

6. When landing, center your weight back over the middle of the board and bend your knees to ride away.

1. Approach the rail riding almost parallel with the rail in front of you. Note that you must be able to ollie as high as the rail you intend to grind.

2. Bend at your knees and pop, keeping your body and shoulders parallel with the board and rail.

3. As soon as your back truck is over the rail, aim to land with it locked in on the heel side of your back truck. At the same time, you will extend your front leg and angle the front truck off the inside of the rail.

4. As you grind, keep nearly all your weight over your back truck and heel. You’ll want to go through the grind with your weight slightly towards the back to help the board “push” through the grind.

5. When you reach the end of the rail, continue keeping your weight over your back foot/truck and guide the nose of the board off the end of the rail. Keep your body parallel to the board and let the back truck drop off the rail.

6. When landing, center your weight back over the middle of the board and bend your knees to ride away.

1. Ride up at a slight angle to the rail with the rail behind you and your feet in an ollie position. It’s not actually mandatory to be able to ollie as high as the rail with a crooked grind. Instead, you just need to be able to get the front truck over the rail when popping.

2. Bend at your knees and pop, keeping your body and shoulders parallel with the board.

3. When your front truck is above the rail, guide it onto the rail in an angled (crooked) position. Aim to lock the truck onto the rail with the rail touching the inside of the heel side wheel of your board.

4. During the grind, aim to keep your body weight slightly over your back foot with your front foot extended outwards to “push” the board slightly infront of you through the grind.

5. If you are locked in well, you should be able to grind with a reasonable amount of control. When you reach the end of the rail, give the board a slight push forward like you do a nollie. Do NOT try to get the board straight again before the front truck has left the rail and is in the air.

6. When landing, aim to center your body back directly over the top of the board. Bend your knees and ride away.

1. Approach the rail riding almost parallel with the rail in front of you. Note that you must be able to ollie as high as the rail you intend to grind.

2. Bend down and pop, keeping your board, body, and shoulders parallel to the rail. You’ll aim to center your board and body right on top of the rail. The more parallel you approach the rail, the more your ollie also has to make a sideways movement mid air to get centered on top of the rail. The more angled you ride up, you’ll have to do this less, but it’s harder to position both trucks evenly over the rail.

3. Aim to land with both trucks on the rail at the same time. Always keep your body weight right over the trucks of your board. Lock in your trucks with the help of the inside part of your wheels. Try to lock on your trucks with the rail touching the toe side wheel of your front truck and the heel side wheel of your back truck. This is called “cross locking” and it enables you to balance easier for longer 50-50 grinds.

4. As you reach the end of the rail, lift up your front truck and simply drop off the rail. Keep the board parallel to the ground all the time, bend your knees and ride away in the forward direction.

1. Ride up at a slight angle to the rail with the rail behind you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the rail you’re skating.

2. Bend at your knees and pop as high of an ollie as possible. Once the board is higher than the rail, you’ll keep your upper body in a forward position and quickly turn your lower body in a backside 180 motion, turning the board 90 degrees with the back truck over the opposite side of the rail.

3. Aim to land on the rail with the middle of your board. Your lower body should be torqued with your legs holding the slide like a frontside boardslide, but your upper body should still be facing forward and looking towards the end of the rail.

4. As you approach the end of the rail, turn your lower body back to the forward riding position as you drop off the rail. If your upper body is already facing this direction, it will be easier to land balanced over the board.

5. Bend your knees as you land and ride away with your balance over the center of your board.

1. Approach the rail riding almost parallel with the rail in front of you. Note that you must be able to ollie as high as the rail you intend to grind.

2. Bend at your knees and pop, keeping your body and shoulders parallel with the board and rail.

3. As soon as your back truck is over the rail, aim to land with it locked in on the toe side of your back truck. At the same time, you will extend your front truck (and foot) over the opposing side of the rail.

4. Keep all your weight over your back truck but use your front leg to guide and dip down the front truck over the opposing side of the rail. Your shoulders should be parallel with the rail itself.

5. When you reach the end of the rail, continue keeping your weight over your back foot/truck and guide the nose of the board off the end of the rail. Keep your body parallel to the board and let the back truck drop off the rail.

6. When landing, center your weight back over the middle of the board and bend your knees.

1. Ride up switch and parallel to the rail with the rail behind you. Your feet are in the switch ollie position with your front foot slightly below the front truck.

2. Bend down right before you want to pop off and look at the rail while doing so. This will make your shoulders turn slightly towards the rail before popping.

3. When you switch ollie and aim for the contact of the center of your deck with the rail, make sure your board has made a 90 degree switch fs ollie. Your shoulders should follow simultaneously which sends you into a boardslide.

4. In the beginning, you might want to start at only the very end of the rail so you don’t have to focus so much on balancing the slide. The longer you aim to slide, balance will come into play, but you should naturally get a feeling for that quite quickly. Try not to turn your shoulders all the way 90 degrees as it can help you to get out of the boardslide easier at the end of the rail.

5. When approaching the end of the rail, turn your board back 90 degrees to ride away forward. The less you turn your shoulders beforehand, the easier it will be to land off the end of the rail.

6. When landing, bend at your knees and aim to have your feet over the trucks of the board to ride away smoothly.

1. Ride up at a slight angle to the rail with the rail in front of you and your feet in a nollie position. It’s not actually mandatory to be able to nollie as high as the rail with a nollie lipslide. Instead, you just need to be able to get the back truck over the rail when popping.

2. Bend at your knees and pop a nollie. In the air, start a slight 90 degree turn to direct the back truck over the rail. Your upper body will follow, try to keep your body weight centered over the board and aim to land with the rail in the center of your board.

3. Hold the slide like a standard boardslide or lipslide with your body facing forward.

4. As you approach the end of the rail, start turning your lower body to prepare to return to a forward riding position as you fall off the end of the rail.

5. When landing, bend at your knees and keep your head and eyes facing a forward direction to smoothly ride away.

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the ledge with the ledge in front of you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the ledge you’re skating. If you want to grind the whole ledge from end-to-end, ride directly at the end corner of the ledge.

2. Bend down and pop. Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel to both your board as well as the edge of the ledge. Shift your body weight towards the nose at the peak of your ollie.

3. Land with only your front truck on the ledge, making sure to keep your board and body all parallel with the edge of the ledge. When in the grind, this trick is similar to a nose manual, but with added resistance on the truck during the grind. Therefore, you’ll need to adapt to the resistance of the grind and sort of “push through” the grind by keeping forward momentum throughout the trick. 

4. When reaching the end of the ledge, you’ll nudge the board forward just as the front truck is about to drop off the ledge. This should “pop” the board out off the ledge just enough that the back truck or tail of your board doesn’t hit the ledge as you drop off it.

5. When landing, shift your weight back completely above the board to prevent falling backwards or forwards and bend your knees.

1. Ride up parallel or at a slight angle to the ledge with the ledge behind you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie higher than the ledge you’re skating. If you want to grind the whole ledge from end-to-end, ride directly at the end corner of the ledge.

2. Bend down and pop. Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel to both your board as well as the edge of the ledge. Shift your body weight towards the nose at the peak of your ollie.

3. Land with only your front truck on the ledge, making sure to keep your board and body all parallel with the edge of the ledge. When in the grind, this trick is similar to a nose manual, but with added resistance on the truck during the grind. Therefore, you’ll need to adapt to the resistance of the grind and sort of “push through” the grind by keeping forward momentum throughout the trick. 

4. When reaching the end of the ledge, you’ll nudge the board forward just as the front truck is about to drop off the ledge. This should “pop” the board out off the ledge just enough that the back truck or tail of your board doesn’t hit the ledge as you drop off it.

5. When landing, shift your weight back completely above the board to prevent falling backwards or forwards and bend your knees. 

1. Ride up parallel to the ledge with the ledge in front of you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie a little bit higher than the ledge you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop. As you reach the highest point of the ollie, your body and board should all turn 90 degrees frontside. Land with the tail of the board on the ledge and all your weight over the tail. Your front foot lightly guides the board during the slide.

3. To slide the trick, you’ll want slight pressure on your heel to keep the board sliding forward. Try to keep the board exactly 90 degrees from the ledge. If your front wheel starts catching the ledge too much, it will slow you down and cause you to fall out of the slide.

4. As you start reaching the end of  the ledge, simply start moving your shoulders parallel to the edge of the ledge again. As you drop out of the slide, your turned upper body will naturally center the board in a forward riding position again. Still, you can add a little bit of pop out to make the trick look cleaner.

5. When landing, shift your weight back above the board to prevent falling backwards or forwards and bend your knees. 

1. Ride up parallel to the ledge with the ledge behind you. Your feet should be in an ollie position in preparation to pop an ollie a little bit higher than the ledge you’re skating.

2. Bend down and pop. As you reach the highest point of the Ollie, only your legs/lower body should turn 90 degrees backside. Keep your upper body and shoulders parallel to the ledge and look into the forward moving direction.

3. Land with the tail down onto the ledge. The whole weight of your body is now on the tail with your front foot lightly guiding the board. To slide the trick, you’ll want to keep slight pressure on your toes to “push’ the trick through the slide.

4. When reaching the end of  the ledge, you can just release the twisting of your body you´ve created when getting in. If your shoulders are still parallel to the ledge and you look into the forward moving direction, your lower body/board should naturally follow into the moving direction. Still, you can add a little bit of pop out to make the trick look cleaner.

5. When landing, shift your weight back above the board to prevent falling backwards or forwards and bend your knees.
