Has anyone ever seen/done a switch 50-50. I was thinking about it in my physics class today and wondered if it had been done. it seems it would be quite tricky.

if it was a rail you could ride onto, it may be doable... that would be x-treme to the nth degree

I have done those. I was trying blind side sex chainges on the kink at whis, and I screwed it up and landed dead switch on the down part on one foot and slid it to the end... I was pissed cuz I fucked up the switchup, so I went and did it again, and slid the rail switch on one foot again. it was cool, but really scary. so I didn't do it any more. but yea that is a double barreled down kink rail. so it is definitely possible... it is some what sketchy though.

50 50 is the gayest name in skiing.....it means that you are on 2 feet or that 2 trucks are grinding. 50%50%

i've been trying them on the down part of a trap but it usually ends up being a blind one footed crooked, and the down part is only about five feet long so it looks like a missed blind switch-up

yes, we do need to rename the '50-50', thats a board trick. it should be called a makio, it is a direct from rollerblading trick.

i've been doing disaster makios on my hill's pyramid rail. i think i'll try an alley-oop now!!!

no it cant be a one foot on one raised, its gotta be 50% of one ski and 50% of the other on, my freind does 50/50 to rail all the time but hes never done a switch 50/50
