me and a friend are having an argument over whether or not there is suck a thing as a 50/50 grind on skis...

would just a normal grind be called a 50/50? like grinding side ways down the rail?


this could be a life or death battle, so please tell me im right and say yes there is such a thing!!

5050 grinds are cool on hand rails that are up tight against a wall so you can wedge your ski in.. kind of tough on the boots though
