Board slide Go up
to the rail at a moderate speed then do a 90 so now your deck
is going to land on the rail. Now be ready to slide. Most of this
trick is just learning to keep your balance. Then when you get
to the end of your rails turn your board so you can ride away
smoothly.

50-50 This trick is pretty hard on a circle rail so try
to find a ledge or something to start on. Ok first you have to
be able to Ollie to the side. Now do that and get both your trucks
on the ledge. Slide until the end and do a little manual off so
your back truck hits the ground before the front.
5-0 This trick is
closely related to the 50-50 but you only grind with the truck
the whole time. This is very hard if you don't know how to manual
very well. Do the same as the 50-50 but lean back some so only
your back truck hits. Ride it all the way then land and ride away
knowing you just landed it.
Noses slide Come up to your target at a slight angle then
90 sharply and put all your weight on the nose. Try to balance
but the first few times you probaly wont slide at all. The curb
you do this on has to be waxed pretty well before you try to do
this trick too.
