Definition: A 50-50 grind is when a skateboarder grinds with both trucks. When most skaters grind something, they use both trucks, and so are 50-50ing whatever they are grinding on. Learn how to 50-50 grind.
The name 50-50 was first used in skateboarding to describe what is now called a "truckstand". This is where the skateboarder stands on one of his or her trucks and balances on the tail of the skateboard. It was a popular trick back when freestyle skateboarding was more well known, but still shows up with pro skaters like Rodney Mullen.
Notice that a 5-0 is half of a 50-50.
