Snowboarding Tricks - Five-O Grinds

Another maneuver that you can try on rails is a Five-O Grind. In this trick, you will make a Wheelie instead of just grinding with the board flat on the rail. Thus, it is necessary to learn how to do a Wheelie on snow first before trying it on rails. In this section, learn how to execute a Five-O Grind.

	STEP 1: Look for a good place to grind. Find a rail that is not too high for you.
	STEP 2: Make a Nose Wheelie when you reach the rail. Do not get too far forward. Doing so will make you lose balance as you do the grind.
	STEP 3: Continue the grind using the nose of the board as pivot point. Maintain your balance and do not elevate the board's tail too much.
	STEP 4: Put the board's tail down as you reach the end of the rail. Getting off the rail on a Nose Wheelie can give you a rough landing.
	STEP 5: Get off the rail, land with both feet, and then ride away.

You can also try doing a Five-O Grind using the tail of your board as your pivot point. It takes some practice and patience in order to get used to doing Wheelies on rails. Make sure to brush up on your Wheelies on snow first to minimize the problems that you may encounter as you perform moves on rails.

its not that easy. before you do this trick you should be very comfortable with 50-50s and boardslides. i think the easiest way to learn this is on a down box. the most important part of this trick is probably the take off. you want to get a good pop off the lip and land on your nose with your weight forward, but your shoulders should still parallel to the box. if you get a good take off, it should be pretty easy to ride it out to the end. you just have to keep your weight forward. a common mistake i have seen with this trick is that when someone lands on the box, they try to twist their back shoulder forward and they will slide out.
