HOW TO 50 50 ON A SCOOTER

Unknown · on YouTube

The lowdown

Both pegs lock onto a ledge or rail and you slide straight along it. The grind that every other grind is built on top of.

Fun fact

Get comfy on 50-50s and feebles, smiths and crooked grinds all suddenly start to make sense.

Tips

Hop on with your weight centred over the deck and ride it out dead flat. A little wax lets you slide much further.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

Hopping straight at the ledge. Roll in almost parallel, only a little angled, so you land along the edge not across it.
One peg landing before the other. Aim to set both pegs down together or the scooter twists off.
Leaning away from the ledge. Keep your weight over the middle of the deck for the whole slide.
Panicking and bailing early. Trust the slide and ride it to the end before you hop off.

Difficulty 2 of 5

Why it's Easy: Your first grind. The hop is the same, but the landing is now a narrow edge and your speed carries you along it. The pegs make it forgiving next to the balance grinds after it.
