Answer 2

A 50-50 can be done by approaching the rail, or ledge, or any grind able object by either approaching from the side or head on. You ollie onto whatever your grinding and land on it with both trucks, as you would land an ollie, and proceed to grind. Where you place your feet when landing or shift your bodyweight depends on how fast you are going, what your doing it on, and your skate style and if you plan on doing a trick out of the 50-50, such as a kickflip or ect.
