50-50

The most basic of all grinds.
1) Learn to ollie and get comfortable with ollieing while moving at a high rate of speed
2) Go out and scour town to find a suitable ledge or rail, or manufacture your own
3) Psych yourself up for the big maneuver your about to perform
4) Go fast and approach the object however you want to. Some people prefer to hit it angled and some come directly at it in line with the direction they will 50-50
5) Keep your eyes zeroed on where you want to grind
6) Ollie and lock your trucks onto the object
7) Stand up straight, center your body weight and maintain balance
8) Spot your landing, give a nice easy ollie off and stick it
9) Ride away clean and then take a victory lap
As you get better gradually step up the grind height and length.
