also what do you reckon i should attempt

i was trying to bs boardslides and fs but i could get my back foot on the tail
and i couldnt get 50-50s
i know its all about practice and all

yes that is my brothers in his stylish attire

looks good

i'm having trouble 50-50ing i can get the front on but i have trouble getting the back on so im trying just ollying onto the box but i always clip it with the back trucks
help with shiftying or ollieing would be appreciated

Just practice 50-50s till you can get em'. There isn't really any other easier thing to do on a box, in my opinion.
You just want to come up on the side of it, and when you ollie, use your back foot to push the back truck onto the box.
Maybe just practice ollieing forward to get used to it.

ok thanks mcmega

Try to ollie straight into the 50-50 instead of sideways onto it. I found it much much easier when I first learned.


Also if you didnt screw them together you could take out them bottom two pallats to make it easier to get on to.

yeah thats what i did
i'm just skating the top 2
and yeah i'm just trying to ollie onto it straight i just keep hooking it on the back
and when i don't i dont put my back foot on
commitment thing

That coping is weird as...




50-50s are all about practice

yeah is is my dad got it
yeah im getting better though

nice man. GIVE IT TO ME NOW! :P

nice man. GIVE IT TO ME NOW! :P

it took me like 10 minutes to make
4 palettes free from super markets 1 angle iron screwed down
BAMB
if you lived in aus i could just give you one

Before trying to 50-50, practice ollieing onto the box itself.

When I first started to learn 50-50 I couldn't ollie on to them, which made me mad. Untill my friend suggested try pop shuviting on to them. I did and I landed my first 50-50. You could try that if your good at pop shuvits.

^what does it feel like to have a sig that single handedly ruined my childhood
thanks the the advice though : D

can you ollie onto the box and ride across it? just think of the 50 50 as an ollie onto the box, except your on the edge instead of the middle. and you basically dont even have to worry about balancing a 50 50 of a box, its pretty much just standing on it, especially a box thats not too high.

ok ive gotten alot better(yes ive landed one now)but i either go into a boardslide like my front truck goes over the coping or a do like a willy grind and dont get the back truck on

Lol If your talking about the midget flip, that kid is just really short.
He started break dancing, and he asked us to flip him. So we did and he landed. I just took the pictures :P

If your talking about barney, I just thought it was funny in a weird way.

HELP WITH BOARDSLIDES PLEASE

{bh)OMG!!!!!!!! i hate u
Merging doublepost
:icon_pelvi figured out how to exit the page

Dude your grindbox is alright, but i would suggest getting a good angle iron for it.

check out the grind box from ccs

Its nice im trying to 50-50 but its hard because i have a roundish rail and the board will slip off easily so i cant get it

I got rick rolled :(

a dew dew dew dew dew
lol fell for it

yeah wheres my boardslide help
GAIS!!!

That's a cool box. It looks like you can build one almost for free. I've seen all those parts laying around the trash behind Costco.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f315/Spuknick/dansdone.gif
ok theres me doing it

thats a nice gif
might sig it
infact i will

boardslide help as well please

Dude come on... if your going to build a grindbox you might as well build one at least 10 inches off the ground. Yours is like 3 inches tall. Theres no way you'll be able to boardslide it.

He just learned how to 50-50. I doubt hes popping 10 inch ollies consistant and smooth.

could use it as a manny pad? but yea that box is hella low

he's sporting that madagascar shirt.

no i have more palletes to make it higher but that makes it like 10 inches tall but its way to big for me to 50-50 it like that
im just learning
when i try boardslides i make it higher

How you exit the rick roll'd page!?!? 0_0......ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

haha.....seriously...how you exit it!!??.....but nice grindbox by the way. I'm gonna make one too! =D

It looks pretty good, but the holes would bother me. =/
I got a solid angle iron.
Anyhow, 50-50s are definitely the first. Then you could try either nosegrinds of 50-50s, or nose slides. (Be prepared for nose slides, you'll probably end up in a FS Boardslide and fall quite a good number of times.)

^ive tried noseslides and i just want to go onto nosegrind in the grind department i can nosestall thats pretty easy

and im just gonna keep slowly coming from an angle untl im nosesliding bois
and the holes you dont notice there too small

nice.. now make that thing 5x longer ...

^Why that would be stupid

^Why that would be stupid

not as stupid as your gif's

^whats wrong with my gifs trebor???
i've been skating for like 3 months and i post my best attempt at a trick andyou just say its stupid

it would be unethical to make the box 5x longer because a) i wouldnt be able to grind it b)where would i keep it and c)it would be a hassle to move around

Yeah, I have to agree with what is being said about the gif.
The box in the gif is as high as the skateboard itself. A decent box is about 8-10 inches high.
So yeah, it should be higher.
If you've been skating for only a short while, you really shouldn't post gifs or vids of what you can do, since what people are learning is not really that amazing to us. What I enjoy watching in gifs and vids are something I can't do, or something that looks amazing, or a trick to it's full potential, not in its learning stage. Just my 2 cents.
Don't take this the wrong way though =P

i wont, thanks for criticism
i agree it needs to be taller and i have palettes to put beneath but im just trying to focus on getting the technique right and then moving higher higher

For the boardslide, DO NOT learn those on ledges. find a rail, whether you make one or use one at your local skatepark.

just learn a frontside 180 and do one as you head toward the rail. you'll land in a boardslide.
OR just do a 90 degree kickturn if the rail is low enough XD
and make sure you never lean back or forward, stay over your board at all times.

And for the landing, start turning as you reach the end of the rail

thanks man ill head to the skatepark and try learn them
when you try them on a box your wheels on the front trucks slide and make the back come out

they look really bad on box but i can still do them

No prob,
But dont learn them on a box until you have mastered them of a rail.
the boardslide should become your generic grind.
When I learn higher rails of when I do handrails my first grind is always a boardslide

ive tried noseslides on my box aswell theres easier on box than boardslide

why dont you learn the technique on a real sized box? it will be easier than starting on a super tiny box like that,

it is great

it is great
trying to get his post count up

how is it easier starting out bigger

trying to get his post count up

how is it easier starting out bigger

because then you dont get hassled for skating broom handle sized "boxes"

do you really need two giant gif's of the same thing?

fine ill take them away and when i get an awesome gif ill post it only then


happy trebor??

very^^^^^


it already seems like the day is brighter.

looks kind of nasty & as you'll need a lot of wax man! gd luck
