The line of sight in BS 50-50 in skateboarding and science behind it

[@music4lifesux]

Although I think the line of sight IS super important for learning and improving your back 50-50, I think the main reason backside axle stalls on ledges are easier is because when you come in at a steeper angle you essentially have to do a backside 180, which is much more intuitive than ollying BEHIND yourself to a ledge nearly parallel to your body (which is what you need to do to learn a true back 50). This is a great video and super helpful, just wanted to add my 2 cents.

[@printisdead1983]

This dude deserves waaaaay more subs and views than he has....hes putting in work he doesnt have to ....thank you sir you are amazing

[@samuf5643]

Truth and spot on with the science... will help out a lot of people... including myself...

[@printisdead1983]

@@samuf5643 it seriously will...I've been skating since 1994 and hes put me up on certain lil things I had no idea about

[@fatwongong]

Many Japanese trick tips explicitly talks about the the line of sight which is very seldomly mentioned in the western world. This is precious knowledge.

[@nyyts]

Related to this, investigating line of sight in miniramp or especially vert skating could be incredibly useful. Just recently realized how much this affects f.ex. bs slashes in vert.

[@whythetrick]

True. Thanks for the comment!

[@StuffnThings42]

This is amazing! I can’t wait to try some bs 50-50s now. This line of sight idea makes so much sense. For this trick, if I get locked in, I can usually grind the ledge just fine. But locking in is the hard part. FS 50-50s are the opposite. They’re easy to lock in but harder to maintain, at least for me. Thanks for these videos.

[@printisdead1983]

This channel is great...this dude is helping you understand the science behind ripping to help you rip better...AND YES HIS TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP YOU RIP BETTER

[@b0gzie]

I would love to see BS Smith grind next, specifically some analysis on the weight distribution between the two feet!

[@macs3948]

Same with crookeds

[@printisdead1983]

I've been skating since 1994...and it took me forever to realize this

[@dreamisover9813]

This quality of content is truly amazing! Haven't seen any science of skateboarding presented in such a way before

[@localbitcoin5720]

bro made the best tutorial channel on YT. Just yesterday we discussed this 50-50 moment, about a sight! He doing 50-50 FS easy and struggling with backside, I can't even 50-50, always loosing my back foot position, missing the tail. 200/200 attempt failed.

[@FL0TEX-fb]

Bro I watched this last night. Manifesting on what you said in this video. I have tried so many years on trying to have back 50-50 in the bag. Finally landed it today. Bro. Thank you so much! You made my day homie❤

[@whythetrick]

Great! The video wouldn’t mean anything by itself without your effort.

[@xx_vizion7109]

Yo you’re slept on ! This video made me get bs crooks on ledges and the bump to ledge at my local !

[@reliably.setback]

another very excellent video. thank you man, you're the best how to channel.

[@Raw.foo0]

You should do a manny and shoulder positioning video 👌🏻🙏🏻💪🏼

[@printisdead1983]

That first question... yes that is a big problem with my ripping..

[@alenhanna6118]

Very excited to start trying 5050s with this knowledge thankyou so much sir

[@chrischow7398]

This explains well why I had such a difficult time getting on a curb and staying on a backside slappy. Parallel shoulders and leaning my head in the direction of board :D

[@rubenjoeirinho6763]

Really good, I always tell my friends this thing about the shoulders direction

[@JapoeV1]

Thanks for this insight. I will use this new knowledge on the next session. Keep up the hardwork! You are doing something unique and innovative

[@AdriStouse]

Your videos are gold. Please keep that up. So intresting and helpfull. I also love the unique touch you put in yours videos!!

[@seanski]

i think the extra force involved with turning more helps to push you into the ledge to lock in when you approach the ledge from a wider angle.

[@HaCh3_]

Everythink becomes more clear...Gonna try it tomorrow ! CANT WAIT (I've spent 8 hours during the last 3 days, only 3 went well :') so hope it helps !)

[@jannik9653]

bro you deserve way more attention. your vids are perfect for understanding physics behind a trick and it rlly hepls alot 🙏🏼

Your stuff is great! Gota great way explaining it all! If you take requests, BS 180s plz! Basic trick but I know a lot of people struggle with them! Anyway, thanks for the videos!

[@markohudler9149]

awesome vid! gonna try them bs 50-50s soon, been strugglin with them for so long

[@TheAlvi113]

This was super useful, really appreciate it. I would love to see a video about nose slides and how to hold them. Keep up with the great work :)

[@transferz]

Good breakdown very useful info. It reminds me as a child when they were trying to teach us how to hit better in baseball.

[@whythetrick]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SkateCrisis]

It completely make sense!👍🏼 Thank you!

[@ImArtfulLee]

Thanks! Look interesting. This information is really helpful. I will try it in practice.

[@adj666]

thank you! this is great advice and insight!

[@yNotFPS]

Dude these videos are super helpful, anyway you can break down pressure flips, I feel like the science and differences of the trick than a normal popped trick makes it good to look into, I can’t figure them out yet.

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for the comment. Will work on it…

[@JakeCrawford]

your videos are very insightful mate!

[@claysoggyfries]

You think you could do a video about weight distribution for a heelflip?

[@guscostigan2946]

this is so helpful keep making these videos!!!!!

[@jlima8534]

Great ideas, love models for explanation! Very helpful! Did you create the models? Or is it part of a software?

[@VortexMMA_]

You post great videos man

[@markfriday]

Anybody having the same problems as me not being able to even ollie up backside on to a ledge? I can frontside 50-50 a ledge 3 decks high but backside 50-50s have always been a struggle for me. I think this video has changed my perspective on this trick, I'll try to not block my sight with my shoulders and see if it works!

[@whythetrick]

yey thanks for the comment. good luck on your next session, and let me know how it goes!

[@nycskateparktour]

Approaching the ledge at a 15-20° angle it is important to apply pressure with your backfoot then shifting weight and focus on to your front foot. Subconsciously your body will align it self on to the ledge.

[@enjoierrything]

great video man what about the science of noseslides? frontside and backside, in all four stances!

[@kimbraden881]

it'd be very much appreciated if you could make a science video on axle stall on a mini ramp.. i can skate street ok but man mini ramps are difficult to understand by my small brain. thank you for your hard work!

[@whythetrick]

[@jaredlopez-alamilla3113]

for me approaching 50-50 at bigger angles makes it easier to transform extra linear momentum into angular momentum, thus I grind with more control. If I approach too parallel to the ledge or rail, I somtimes miss calculate my momentum and when I grind I go to fast and lost balance

[@looseygoosey23]

Could you analyze Yuto’s skateboarding

Can you do a vid on pressure flips. Need to understand those physics

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for the comment. I have to re-practice the trick first lol

[@damiandonlon9263]

I have noticed that with a lot of tricks once you figure out where to focus they happen more naturally and that usually accompanies your skill level progression...i am always baffled when i see vids of blind skaters using a walking stick...that shit is amazing

[@michaelsalinas6549]

make a video on the ollie

[@FickleWid]

awesome channel keep it up :)

[@theskateboardfan]

Can you do the physics behind the scoop of 360 pop shovits. Compared to the tre flip and impossible scoop. Thanks.

[@whythetrick]

Will try. Who’s Jim though? lol

[@theskateboardfan]

@@whythetrick 360 pop shovit is an excellent one to do because it takes such a precise way of pop/scoop to create a flat spin.

[@emiliocalise4699]

Thanke you

[@5deadrabbits]

I need a video about heelflips that float behind me. I've tried foot placement and leaning heel side but my board still flips behind me.

[@UrbanOutlawsSk8Co]

The best advice I can give for any grind is to aim for a spot in front of you, not directly next to you. Hijacking is less used than you think

[@loveistheonlything3626]

Sweet.

[@QCSkateEdit]

nice channel !!

[@donaldwhyte3634]

Nice

[@bsszzzz1779]

What about fs 5050, I know they are easier, but I struggle always with them them, when I approach s new obstacle . I can't just aim properly. If I Land, most of the time on nosegrind, then I have time where I can do them then not again but I always struggle to aim with both trucks

[@Starclap92]

So basically rail-feet should be the train of thought?

[@TridentArmyy]

Wow.

[@Haveink]

so where should we look when riding up to it parallel?

[@whythetrick]

in to the right future lol thanks for the comment though. will try to talk about it next time.

[@pattysk4tr]

50-50 entrance angle should be parallel to the obstacle and the ollie that's need to be done forward or to your back

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for the comment. Would you mind adding some scientific point of view?

[@cristobalromerolabra4741]

Your shoulders have alot more to do with your skating and balance than you would think

your ass and hips are the most important imo, i can manual folded like a pretzel squiggling my butt left and right to keep balance
