Hey guys, trying to 50/50 a few tubes we have and i cant seem to lock on to ride it out. Either my feet separate or i slide out and fall on my side.
Any advice?

Try going on and sliding it like normal then pivot to riding 50/50 on it. get comfy doing that then work up to hoping on in 50/50

go 100x faster than you currently are and keep your legs locked up through the whole rail

This sums it up. What also helps is gradually pivoting to 50-50 sooner on the rail, when you can get on and immediately pivot to 5050 and lock you're definitely ready to try jumping on 50-50
