50 50 Slide

This question may well prove to be my downfall, but here goes...

In skate and snowboard, the 50 50 on a rail is a perfectly legit grind. Now why do I never see a skier do them [on boxes]? Are they just not considered cool or what? I find a 50 50 to 180[or more] out is really fun. Indeed, I consider my best jib to be a switch 50-50 to sw 3 out... I've never seen anyone else do this- any reason why?

Personally i'm not impressed AT ALL when boards do them on any rail... When skiiers do them on boxes I feel about the same, but when I see a skier do them on a high up rail (rainbow, higher flat) or whatever, thats defentially alot more BALLSY

whats it called when boarders do a kinda nose or tail butter in their 5050s- i think that looks ill. seriously though, why is a 5050 any different from a normal railslide?

snowboarders 50-50ing anything in the park is lame, unless its a handrail or a C or S, its not even a trick.

not a big fan of 5050s, or switch 5050s, you could always pop into nosepress and tweak it to the side, so it kind of looks like a crook?

For all you skiers that call noseslides nosepresses, that might be confusing.

i realy like a 5050 to normal on flat down rails with a spin off. thats my steeze. 5050s are legit on boxes if you put your steeze into it, with possibly a bit of a press in there.

if you throw 5050's on skis you got balls cuz it's really hard. but sweet only on certain rainbows flat downs wen you change to slide on down and on flat long rails./

on boards its easier but on fuckin skis man...5050 is so hard on rails. cause you need to go one foot. hit a rainbow rail fast, 5050 - launch a shift 180 over the backside. hellyes

a 5050 isn't a grind it is a continuation of riding on snow and it rarely looks good a 1 footed 5050 o skis is okay but only when done properly.

I like doing 5050 to switch 5050 on a flat down box. But yeah, just riding straight across a box is about as hard as riding straight across snow.

I have respect for all people until they do something to lose my respect and unless a border is doing a press 5050 then 5050 are gay on a box for skiers I feel the same way

so what's the diff between a 50-50 and a railslide exactly. I've always thought they were the same things.
50-50 is just straight sideways right?

i think a lot of people have little respect for 50 50s cause sometimes like three year old skiers 50 50 and if a park skier is doing the smae trick as a three year old racer its just embarasing to our sport

ok, so i see why a straightforward 50 50 is lame, but a switch 5050 is distinctively newschool so isn't that legit? like in my park, my favourite jib is a 15 foot kinda up box thing which give you plenty of air at the end. i like to hit it fast, sw 5050 it to sw 3 out. would you not think that looked cool if you saw that?

whatever anyway, i think its fun

5050 a rail is really gay. i don't consider it as doing that rail cuz its so easy

its ok on rainbows or w.e and its fine if you add something, like a one-footer while grabbing the other ski
