This time on the Shred school, we're
learning the 5-0 grind. Let's get started.
Welcome back to Rad Rat Video, the channel
you can learn something new about
skateboarding three times a week. Every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we talk
about something in the skateboarding
world, from culture to tricks to anything
in between. Today we are learning the
five-o grind. So before you start on the
five-o, there are a couple of tricks you
should be able to do. You should be able
to do 50-50s, which are pretty simple.
And you should also be able to hold a
manual on flat for a little while. I
don't think you need to be able to ollie
into a manual on an obstacle. That's a
little bit tougher. You need to be able
to get the full distance, and you have to
land perfectly straight and on stuff.
Stuff that you don't have to worry about
with the five-o. So I think 5-0s
are actually easier. The next thing you
have to do is pick a good spot.
So I did these on a couple of different
spots to show you some variation. Low is
better for this one, because with the
five-o, you have to ollie way above the
obstacle and then put the tail down. So
you actually have to be able to clear
the obstacle really easily. So start with
something pretty low, pretty comfortable.
Something that's gonna grind really
easily. For things like nose grinds and
crooked grinds, it actually helps to be a
little higher. With this one it helps to
be lower. So just pick something really
easy, really comfortable, and then let's
get started. Your foot position is gonna
depend on the obstacle and your skill
level with Ollies and things like that.
But a good base to start with is
something like this. You want to have a
really stable foot position. You want to
be able to cover as much of the tail as
possible because you want to land back
on the tail in that five-o. If you're
like this and you're gonna pop it as
hard as you can, you're gonna have to
find the tail in the air. If you pop more
from a stable foot position, it'll be
easier to land that way.
So again, if you're gonna do it on
something a lot higher, you're gonna need
to be able to pop it harder. But try to
just keep a more stable foot position
for your back foot. Front foot: you know,
anywhere that helps, but you're gonna
want to land pretty far up to help with
the balance. So keep that in mind.
Now, if you want some practice before you
get into this trick, you want to feel a
little bit more comfortable, what I do
sometimes is this. So you sit next to the
curb or the obstacle you're going to do,
and you ollie up and put the tail down
on it. This is gonna help a little bit.
It'll help you feel more comfortable
with the motion. It doesn't feel that much
like a five-o, because with the actual
trick, you do have the approach angle
that helps you get up onto it. It helps you
clear it a little bit. This way, you ollie
kind of straight, and then push the tail
over. I do think it helps just to feel a
little bit more comfortable. Feel more
confident in being able to get that
height and everything that you need, but
you can skip that step if you want to
just jump right into it. So with the
approach for this one, what I will
typically do is: do as little of an angle
as possible. Approach with a very very mild
angle, because you want to keep as much
of your speed going forward as possible. If
you approach at a really sharp angle, you
hit the obstacle, then that slows you
down. So that's not really gonna do you a
lot of good. Also for this one, I like to
land in the middle. I don't like to grind
off the end, and that might just be the
way that I learned how to skate. I had
all these boxes I had built, and then put
them in my driveway. Instead of pulling
them out, I would just leave them in the
grass, so I would have to roll up, grind,
and then land back off of it. And that's
still the way that I do grinds, but I
like it that way better because you have
a little more control. You're not really
forced to land when the thing ends, you
can land when you start to lose your
balance or when you start to lose your
speed. You have more control that way. So
for me, it helps to approach at a very
mild angle, then ollie up onto it and push
it ahead slightly. So that's the way I do
it. So you roll up. When you start to get
close, pop a lot harder than you think
you'll have to, if... like on these
bleachers right here. You almost have to
ollie like you're gonna 50-50 the
next step up, from a height perspective.
You have to go way up, way up above it,
and then put that tail down. As you can
see, the tail kind of stays low the whole
way, but I am actually ollieing, leveling it
out, and then pushing it down. It doesn't
really look that way, but if I didn't ,the
board would just kind of keep going up
and up and up, and I would kind of be, you
know, straight up in the air and hit the
side of the curb or the ledge or
whatever. So you have to do a real ollie.
You can't drag your tail down while
you're trying to get up. You have to
ollie up, and then put the tail down on
it. One thing that helps for me, and I
think this makes a really big difference,
is if you try to push the tail ahead of
you instead of moving your weight
backward. If you ollie up and then lean
back, you're more likely to slip out. But
if you ollie, and then push the board in
to... like, push the tail to be in the
middle of your body, that will help you
land a little bit more solid. So get
plenty of height, and try to push the
tail in the middle of you, and that
should really help you get into that
balance, and get you locked into it. So a
big question at this point is: do you
drag the tail or not? And that's
completely up to you.
Some of the ones you'll see me do, I do
drag it, sometimes I don't. I think a
perfect five-o would be: the tail like
this, close to dragging, because I don't
want mine to look like a manual. If
you're halfway between, and you're kind
of grinding like this, I don't think it
really looks as good. If you have your
weight 100% on the tail, I think that
looks more like a five-o grind rather
than a manual, but some people don't like
to look at that either. So completely a
style choice. Both are legitimate. It's
not like, you know, if you did an ollie
manual and dragged the tail, and it
wouldn't count. 5-0s can be either way.
It doesn't matter. You can also do it at a
little bit of an angle too, and grind that
way. It's all completely fine.
So do what feels comfortable for you.
Just get up there, try to do the trick a
few times and see what feels right.
That's going to be in your hands. So
grind for a little bit, and then there's
a couple different ways to land, but the
way I do it is: I start to push the board
ahead, it starts to turn a little bit
like this, and then when it gets to the
right point, I just pull it off. And
that's really all there is to it.
I just, like... The truck is kind of locked in,
and I pull it right off. It feels just
like dropping off a curb,
if you were to do it kind of a kind of
at an angle. You just lift up, you hop a
little bit, and you just pull the board
right off. It's a really easy way to go.
With the five-o, it's almost halfway done
for you. You don't have to lift the nose
up or anything, you're already up. You
just kind of hop off. That one's pretty
easy,
assuming you're locked in right. So one
of the problems with this curb that I
skated. It's a double-sided curb, but the
other side had all that grass on it and
stuff, and I couldn't get completely
above the curb. So I'm trying to grind
half of the curb, and so I'm grinding
like the middle of my truck, and the
board is at a big angle. You know, it's
kind of tipped like this while I'm doing
the grind. And so, when I try to land it,
sometimes the board just tip over. And
that's kind of a problem with the spot. I
probably shouldn't been trying to skate
there, but the problem was, the park where
the other bench was that I later did was
so full, I couldn't possibly skate there
at the moment. What you want though, is to
be locked in as close to the wheel as
you can, which is how it is with the
bench. So if you're locked in like that,
the board is pretty much flat. You're
tipped a little bit, but you're mostly
flat, and it just feels like you're
dropping off. If you're on the edge like
that, and you're tipped away over, that
makes it a bit harder. So that just has
to do with the spot, though. The other way
to land is to just ride off the end, and
I don't really do these this way, but
that's just riding right off. That's
pretty simple.
That might be the easier way for you,
depending on what you're comfortable
with. So that is the five-o grind. Here
are some that I filmed before. I tried to
do a couple different spots. Hopefully
this gives you a good impression of how
it should feel, and what you should do.
Just go out there and get comfortable
with it.
Practice some 50-50s first, and then go
out there and just go for it. And then,
after you learn the five-oh, here are
some more tricks you might want to learn
next. And don't forget to subscribe so
