Skateboarding 5-0 grind and manual help?
I have a curb that i waxed right in front of my house that I can 50-50, but i can't 5-0. Whenever I try my front truck always comes back down to the curb. Do I need to wax the curb more?
Also this happens 98% of the time when I try to ollie to manual. Any tips on what i can do?

yeah the 5.0 grind needs to be performed on smooth buttery surfaces preferably... > for better results.. To much wax though could be scary bro especially because you will need a little speed when going for 5.0's.... If you could 50-50 grind it & its smooth than not much wax is needed... . Maybe the ledge or curb needs to be worked on more .. You its to new maybe.... You need to do it on a ledge that been waxed for & used for a while.. Etc...
5.0 grinds have to do alot with balance...
And you say this happens when you go for manuels right... My guess is that you need to practice on your balancing... You should just manuel randomly when cruising along.. It helps.. Try to keep balance for a long time...
Then when you can keep the manuel for a distance try the ollie to manuel & do the same thing just control it & balance it out... It takes practice but if you continue the routine you will eventually get it... If you could ollie manuel then it will be easier to do 5-0 grinds .. You will see.. Because 5-0 has to do alot with manuel balance... They are similar...
I would say try & master the ollie's to manuel & once you do that you will notice that when you try 5.0's it would be much easier .. I dont know its just natural ...

Yo, what are you talkin' approximately? Are you asking something of the worldwide in case you slot the mildew of ways of existence considering the fact which you're tickin' off some imaginary checklist of stipulations which you think of makes you a skateboarder? it is a few toy sh!t, guy. i think of the respond's sure. pay attention to what you're asserting. You looked around at some thing, took the status quo base of it, then unoriginally did each thing you observed. Get real, toddler. do only your component. in the adventure that your component looks like every physique else's component, in line with hazard that's a accident. yet you're attempting to tutor you're some thing via damn on the form you're doing each thing you may to be like every physique you notice.
