Ski slide? Or 50/50?

Skiing took on the whole blunt slide/ tail press from skating, so what about ski slides? A board slide is a 90 on and a rail slide is just grinding on the trucks. So Shouldn't a normal 90 on be a ski slide and going on straight be called a 50/50?

How can someone 50/50 on skis? We aren't like those crazy snowboarders.

okay not to sound like a newb. But I've heard people say 90ing on is 50-50 and I've heard them call it a ski slide. And going on forward I've heard 50-50 and ski slide. So like which the fuck is it.

Ski slide (or nugget) is just going onto a rail strait with one foot off the rail.

Going onto the rail 90 is called a grind.

50-50 is going straight on a rail/box. Sliding sideways is called a ski slide by some people, but honestly that just sounds a little gay.

That's what I always thought then like a group of 5 guys told me I was wrong and when you go sideways its 50-50 because when snowboarders 50-50 their body is sideways or some shit. I always just called that a grind but idk maybe they were fucking with me or they're just really dumb. thanks though haha

you've seriously gotta be one of maybe 1% of skiers who actually calls it grinding. not that it matters... but i almost never hear it (for good reason IMO)

but OP yeah i mean some nerds might call a regular slide a boardslide but that's totally unnecessary. and a 50/50 is straight on to the rail... and if it's one foot people sometimes say one foot 5050

sliding sideways = hitting a rail
one foot off forwards/skis side by side forwards is a 50/50

50-50 is like riding normal i.e. right/left foot forward and then pretzling to 50-50 and/or when both skis are on the box or rail.
whereas ski slide is basically a one footed 5050

its called sliding a rail when you do a normal 90 in, so like what youre saying "ski slide"

any variation of going on straight you can call whatever the fuck you want. i probably usually call it a 50-50 or one footed 50-50 if im sliding with one food on and one balancing on the side
