Im fairly good at 50 50 ing on metal rails(those you buy) like even almost knee high. Ive never tried to grind curbs untill reciently, but i cant. I put some wax on the curb and ollie up onto it. Then i just immediately stop. I can do short tail slides about 6 inches to 1 foot but cant 50 50 it. So what do you do. Is there a certain way you have to do it?

is it a painted curb? I find thoes grind really well. If not you got to put a good amount of wax on it. for the 50 50 get some good speed the more the better. come into it at a slight angle too. thats just how i do curbs.
