Jamie Foy Shares His Secret To 5-0'ing Round Rails!

[@Rufusdos]

These tried-and-tested subtleties from the pros are often seriously worth listening to.

[@Dontbustthecrust]

Yes!

[@bossmanboss15]

100%

[@FrackaLacka]

Yep there’s a reason they’re so good they know wtf they’re doing

[@bakedbeings]

Pros aren't often great at identifying it or putting it into words (like any of us), I'm glad Jamie is 🙏

[@thomascreech1696]

Its Alex Honnold, and he is fucking gnarly.

[@happy2Cyou]

Super gnarly

[@jessejay9485]

Met Alex Honnold in Squamish, BC Super humble and rad guy to talk to.

It's alan handhold bruh

[@sbjaimz224]

What’s the secret to 5-0ing? Jaime: yeah yeah yeahhhh..!

[@newvocabulary]

Oh, you front crook massive rails? Lemme tell you about my frontside curb slappies. LOL

[@goofy-goon8518]

title: ... jamie: thats how i figured out front crooks. crob: also this free climber.

[@eggjones6039]

I wonder who did that Switch Flip Switch Manny in the back 🤔🤔🤔

[@Unogamingchannel]

should ask Jamie Thomas how he did his 5-0's down hand rails, cause that dude never touched his tail and if he did he went back up and got it proper, I remember tripping out cause he'd pop up and manual it out the whole way down perfect, shit doesn't make sense, he wasn't about that drag ass type of grind, I think even his nose grinds on ledges and hubbas too, his nose never touched.

[@nenemydog]

Jamie thomas did touch on round rails. Just have a look at his misled youth part. he didn't touch on square rails because those give stability. I personally think its nearly impossible to do 5-0s without touching on a round rail because you don't have any kind of stability otherwise. On a ledge you don't need to touch your nose for a nose grind. And in most cases you really don't want the nose to touch because it can get stuck and that's very likely a slam. Rails are a different story because like with the 5-0 you do need to have the nose touch. Like in a crooked grind. Also the Rail is slick enough not to catch.

[@Unogamingchannel]

@@nenemydog watch his dying to live part, his new blood part, hollywood high 12, he does 180 fakie nose grind(switch 5-0) doesn't touch his nose at all, Rincon gaps out to 5-0 the rail doesn't touch his tail, the double set rail with the gap in the middle, gaps to the second rail 5-0's the round rail doesn't touch his tail. round, square, hubba, anything he skates, nose grind, fakie nose grind, 5-0, dude has impeccable balance and doesn't touch his board, he skates fast with tight trucks so he's on and off in seconds, he's not sitting on rails pinching, I admit if he was going through kinks or popping out at the end, or on a really steep rail he touched, you have to sometimes, but a lot of his clips he hops on grinds and drops off without touching at all. even in the opening of his Misled youth part, he front 180 fakie nose grinds down that round rail and it doesn't even look like he touched his nose down. quit being a hater and nit picking shit like "I seen his tail touch on one of those million 5-0's he did" there are plenty of other skaters that can skate 5-0 a rail with out touching down.

[@Unogamingchannel]

@@nenemydog Zero Thrill of it All - Opening 10 seconds, 5-0's a round rail doesn't touch his tail at all. 1997, same video part he tried the Leap of Faith. smh.

[@ThaFreestylers7]

I feel like i learn my tricks the same way, my most recent trick i learned was pop shuv on a ramp

[@buttkissery2k]

Balancing a 5-0 is hard but possible and dragging your heel is like the reg 5-0. I like how he explains it

[@saiiiiiii1]

Back in the days balancing really was the regular 5-0. You dragged your tail it didn't count all the way🤷🏻

[@71degrees]

I have always met many engineer minded people in the skateboard community

[@bmoneybby]

Fo sho. Can confirm.

[@71degrees]

@@bmoneybby it's the secret underbelly of the skateboarding community, but it makes sense because at it's core skateboarding is physics

[@jackstraw5527]

[@BCreative12]

Fs krooks makes sense to put foot over more so it compensates for the slide of foot. I do the same also for front feebs Im learning but the back foot is over more bc the weight has to be on the toe side more. 😂

[@24kNick]

Take a shot or hit Everytime roberts says weird

[@antihero898]

We dragging our feet now boys?

[@therealclintmil]

Damn I went back and watched his my war after listening to this and he really does have his toes off his board on the front crook. Looks so wild.

[@Tony-Jabroni]

1 person rollerblades

[@mindtrapped9934]

They even commented 😂

[@tonycruise]

i learned fs crook like that with my toe hanging out so i can have the lock in already ready on my foot, i just bring it more back so it can drag up and land on the nose/bolts pinched.

[@Skateboardfreakist]

yup me too it works like magic

[@tonycruise]

@@Skateboardfreakist yea i learned that about 2 months ago but i guess jamie does it too. i even learned how to do it switch like that

[@BrettStubbs]

This is consistently the best podcast on the internet.

[@crondigady]

9 Club is great to listen to skaters. Every host absolutely sucks at interviewing. This is a typical example with Foy: None have any idea what is like to 5-0 a high caliber rail. They all know that. Instead of letting Foy talk, they will all talk about their irrelevant, personal antidotes. Slappies, Hannold, etc. They all make it about themselves when they can. It’s brutal.

[@seeemsee]

dragging feet = training wheels

[@newnum2]

You guys barely let him talk. Edit: Heh, my dad worked for Hughes too.

[@mexicanwhiterice]

Alex honnold

[@mexicanwhiterice]

During batb, if everyone could just blow up prod and get him to do a forward flip. Much appreciated.

[@LeFreeze_]

It’s a Jamie thing lol

[@c1dtl39]

Damn you’re right lol! They both love front crooks

[@LilOak]

does it count if your heel is all up on the rail tho?

[@djsubliminalreeve]

basically a tailgrind then?

[@rozikrazimator]

When no one else does them... Yes

[@rodrigog5654]

I guess it would be REALLY hard to not ¨drag¨and control.. I would like to see one that´s not heel touching

[@mattd1659]

I remember an old Transworld trick tip from 15 years ago for 5.0’s - ‘Real G’s don’t drag their tail’

[@ReaperPLUR]

@@mattd1659 Transworld needs to get someone to 5-0 el toro with no drag then 😂

So does everyone see balanced 5-0 sicker than 5-0 where your draggin the tail

[@slimetime4668]

Well of course, more so due to it being much harder...I can always appreciate difficulty

Everyone. Harder is always gnarlier.

Foy does such a great job of explaining his trick hacks, and his are hammers. I dig this kid! He gets it, he’s a G! Sooo many dudes don’t get it these days, they skate well but awkward at life. Ya know what I’m talkin about? (Congrats you might not B a punkbitch!). What!

[@goofy-goon8518]

not a kid, a pure man of madness

[@AlexNiedt]

Too many trick police in the comments who've probably never 5-0'd a rail in their lives. 😂

[@ramrod2205]

The climber they're talking about in this video towards the end his name is Alex Holland

[@WHDRWN]

Heel drag 5.0's aka "tail devils" are the cheat not quite the real trick version. Same as scraping on a nosegrind or a manual. Not the real thing.

[@mikesgarage18]

If You're dragging your heel on the rail doesn't that not count?

[@drewfinn2]

if you can do it better go right ahead and film it on that rail...

[@samkupper]

counts? if you land it and roll away anything counts

[@WHDRWN]

nah, it don't count but it's Foy so no one trying to front on him. Not everyone can be GT proper.
