How To Backside 5-0 Grind On A Mini Ramp

In this video I give a very detailed tutorial on how to backside 5-0 grind on a mini ramp teaching you the best techniques and common mistakes you can avoid. If you have any questions about any trick I respond to all comments so feel free to ask!
One of the most common mistakes I see with 5-0 grinds is the way people lock in. If you lock in to a 5 0 with your whole truck on the coping it makes most variations more difficult, makes it more likely to hand up on the top of the transition and makes for less consistency.

Dude it really shows that you're really in this for the love of skating. Most skate channels seem more about getting subscriptions than actually teaching kids and getting ppl pumped on skating. Thx for doing what you do man

[@ChadCaruso]

Thank you I really appreciate that

[@stephenschultz9901]

Watched this. Got stoked. Nailed it first try. Totally opened up a fakie pivot, too! 🤘

[@x_x2232]

fakie pivot?

[@JJones_1]

🙌

[@geoffahman6406]

You sir are an extremely talented skater and have the knack for tutorials. My search is over. You are responsible for my rapid progression of late when I was beginning to think nothing was ever going to click. Turns out practicing something the wrong way for years is not an effective way to improve. Finally someone breaking it down and explaining the little details. I’m fairly new to your channel so I can’t wait to watch and learn more. You deserve so many more views and subscribers. Keep up the good work, man.

[@ChadCaruso]

So psyched to hear that Geoff, thanks for taking the time to comment and Welcome!

[@reeceparriah4772]

It’s funny I learned switch 5-0 before regular backside 5-0

[@Laurap01]

Came back here to say that this helped me tremendously. Before watching this, I was approaching this trick like a 50-50 and was finding it really hard to find my balance, now I can do it every try. Thank you!

[@thegaminggoblin1197]

I was trying to kick turn at high speeds on a spine, and I accidentally did this trick. I tried it again and now I can do this trick constantly. I can't even 50 50 on a spine yet😂

[@loudmickid5242]

This dude is like the best mini ramp skater

[@roert_hlrit]

Your videos are the best! Not just how to do the trick, but how to LEARN the trick. You do a really great job of breaking down the mechanics. Keep up the great work!

[@jay999tv]

Thank you for all the trick tips help me a lot 🤘🏻🙏🏻

[@cheater281]

Going to try this today. Great channel! Many thanks!!

[@hackhackdelete3267]

Thanks for the tips. I´ve been struggling with bs 5-0s forever, but i think now with a little practise i should manage to finally get this. Go skate everyday!

[@TrueRockDude]

Thank you so much for this!! I’m just now skating transition again after 2 years. I took a huge fall on back in high school. Long story short I’m relearning how to skate. Your videos have been so useful

[@knightofbrokenglass9237]

favorite skater

[@susansk8sorrell123]

You make it look so easy... i know i can do it now with this vid! Thx!

[@XSProgression]

Just got long 50-50s on lock. Excited to nail this one next!

[@guybartlett9587]

That looks so fun!

[@ShiningSta18486]

Yours and RadRats are my two favorite skate channels hands down

[@MrPopestar]

Nice one Chad. I'll be having a go at this tomorrow!

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks! Let me know how it goes

[@MiniLegend123]

Will definitely help me clean up my 5-0's

[@kadenling9474]

Thx buddy

[@bibo8641]

thx u

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

I feel like you and I are the only ones Skating in the Blistering Cold Weather lol I just shoveled a Foot and a Half of Snow and Ice off the park to get a skate in 🤟😏 ... Where are the real Slaters at? Lol not helping me Shovel, that's for sure lol 🤔 Hard life as a East Coast Canadian Skater. Appreciate you Chad

[@criticalthrash]

thanks dude

[@ChadCaruso]

No problem Steve

[@dubble_g]

Tbh u are rhe online one on yt that actually explains mini ramp skating good so that people can learn these tricks i really want to thank you For example with Bs 5-0 i was only able to do slash grinds and on yt all the tutorials just say lean back to get into a real grind and some other bullshit.... But u said that you should press on the heel and BAAM now i can do long 5-0 grinds easy af

[@ChadCaruso]

Yes! Love hearing that, glad these videos can be helpful

[@maxwhiteley8492]

*most fun*

[@squidz33]

I can do these did one at the beginning of the session and then tried it again and kms but I don't no y the board just didn't come with me on going down someone help like this trick a lot but really threw my confidence off today

[@adynannetts1740]

I ride my trucks fairly loose. Is there a problem with wheel bite when only locking in one wheel?

[@bowyerbones]

thanks for all the trick tip videos, they really help me a lot. i've recently tried learning backside 5-0s but i've been locking in with my whole truck on the coping, is it really that bad or does it make you more likely to lock up when coming back in? in the future could you maybe do a video on front side disasters where you actually kinda ollie up and over the coping and come down? i can somewhat powerslide into them but getting above the coping with both wheels is intimidating lol.

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks for the comment Trevor, there really is no wrong way to do it but for me it makes it more likely to hang up and also makes tricks like 5-0 grind to fakie way harder to learn. I’ll definitely be doing a Frontside disaster video in the near future

[@bowyerbones]

i'm definitely going to try locking in the other way now, i didn't think about it being easier to come in fakie that way. thanks again, i'll keep my eye out for your next videos!

[@dubble_g]

For frontside disasters what helped me to. Not just slide into them is when i started to do fs 180s/fs ollies on a quater pipe and go higher and higher and its basicially and fs air but u just land on top of the ramp. Which is easier than a real fs air

[@tusuna556]

Hey I ride my scooter at tanner skate park too if I see you there could I give a piece of fan art that made?

[@ChadCaruso]

Definitely! Can’t wait!

[@tresfordays9644]

I honestly find long 5-0’s easier on bigger mini ramps, I skate the 3ft and I have trouble 5-0ing on it cause I have a tendency for my weight to go to far on top, vs on the 7ft I never have that issue

[@AH-jj8sd]

Chad “Variations” Caruso

[@elistegman8384]

I leant this before a 50-50 grind. Because I thought a 50-50 was scarier then a 5-0

[@susansk8sorrell123]

Do a day in the life!

[@BOZOskate72]

SHOW NICE

[@kadenling9474]

Can u do more vlogs

[@darrinsiberia]

Im gunna have a mini ramp session where I literally try a new trick every run.

[@ilaytsirulnik4427]

Wait but when u grind the tail touching the copying or u manual?

[@Music8649]

What if you get wheel bite when you lock in stoping your grind?

[@ChadCaruso]

Even if you get wheel bite you should still grind from your momentum and because your truck is on the coping (metal on metal). If for some reason it sticks though you can wax where your wheel hits your board.

[@kolabboy]

What’s the best way of getting from a backside slash to a stall or grind. Do I simply need more speed or is it just the pressure on the side of the board the coping and ramp decking is on? Thanks

[@ChadCaruso]

If you can slash and want to start getting on top of the coping the best way to start is by trying axel stalls. You definitely need more speed than you would for a slash, it helps get you on top of the ramp. Also try to approach the coping more straight when trying to learn how to stall on top of the ramp, it tends to be a bit easier. For me it really clicked when I learned to stand up straight and press on my heels. Hope that helped, let me know your progress!

[@victorr_o4]

Chad Caruso just the question I was about to ask ...😂 thanks for that tip Chad

[@matiasbenac5322]

Where does that accent come from? Awesome vid by the way, thanks a lot

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks Matias, the accent is from New York

[@memepristine8058]

@ 2:14 when you drop in, you look like you died or smthn

[@JPLowe]

Heeeeel

[@mattxm1]

Wait so do u even slide your tail or are u just grinding on ur heel I literally cannot tell

[@brentbeesing7991]

So the truck lock in position is opposite a frontside 5-0? Why is the truck lock in position not the same for both?

[@ChadCaruso]

Great observation, i think it’s a lot harder to lock in on one wheel for frontside 5-0s because of weight distribution. Also it’s much harder to put pressure on your toes rather than your heel.

[@AlecTsengSkateboarding]

I find feeble easier than 5050 and 5-0

[@nurynarianazaid5371]

Thank you for the tutorial. It really helped me to learn the trick. I have a link to the video that shows me working on the trick. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Ommn15iq12as0 What trick do you think I should learn next?
