I've started to go early in the morning to skate parks like when the sun is coming up and even if I'd like to sleep in on my days off, it's worth it. You can take your time to practice and basically have the whole park to yourself.

Hi Ben, this is a great video. I am new to skateboarding (April 18) at 32 and I tried a Axel Stall drop in (as I am a wimp), I hung up and fell flat on my stomach and fractured my ribs. Was out for 6-7 weeks! I will defo try from a much smaller ramp next time but trying to perfect my rock to fakie and nail my first tail stall! Keep up the great work, Tom from York in the UK

When I’m going for a 50-50, dropping in after is just easier in the moment since you don’t have time to think, you just do cause you’ve already reached that goal of 50-50’ing

Same, I remember standing on top of the transition thinking that is scary as hell but when I did the 5050 their is an Adrenaline rush that just makes you have the courage to go back in

Great advice, I nailed one of these for the first time this morning (relearning to skate at 33). I definitely practiced dropping in from the stall position for a bit on the 2-3 ft ramp until I felt comfortable. Hopefully I’ll be able to move up to the 4ft ramps soon 👌

You're awesome Ben! Doing these indepth tutorials is what sets you appart from the others!

Iv been skating for 15 years I’m still working on this. Awesome vid thanks for the help !

I’ve been trying to work on this and wow, you really broke this down to each little component in such a clear and precise way that it really helped. Nice work, thank you!

this is the most informative and detailed video on this trick, thank you!

All of your tutorials are so "thought out" and intentional! Keep up the really great work and thank you. I am just trying to nail this trick right now so I need all the help I can get!

Your videos are the only straight forward instructions on this stuff man thank you for making them.

You are a legend! Thanks for putting so much effort into these videos

Ben, thanks for all the great lesson details 🛹 it makes it so much easier for us to get better fast! especially the finer details and nuances like wheel placement, and how to work up to it / multiple approaches. It's also awesome that you do flat and transition tricks!

Good job! I betcha it helped people get the feel for this basic but elusive move

Please Keep doing this kinda of tutorial they are very helpful and complete 🙌

Great tips, sir. I’d also suggest including reference to foot placement. It’s my experience this move is easier with toes flush to the side of the board and heels of the feet hanging off. That way, it takes minimal effort to one’s heals to get the trucks up.

Bless you Ben!

Last time I tried, my truck hung up on the copping and I just fell forward really hard Thank god I’m okay Since then I tried it a couple times, I can lock both my trucks into 50-50 but I just can’t drop in again cause I’m traumatized from my last experience Will defo try it again with your advice and I wish I saw your video earlier 🙏

Oh man great video, I've been doing the "powerslide up" for years on bigger ramps and I always thought I was weird and it was a bad habit that I needed to kick - because you can't use that technique on ramps with a pool coping that really sticks out. So I tried to force myself to do a clean turn to sort of pivot my way into the axle stall but the higher the ramp the more I slide up because I get scared, just like you explained :-) I still haven't gotten to the bottom of this but I think it has to do with speed as well... if you're going a little too slow then that slide-up helps, if you're going faster a clean turn might do, and if you're really fast you'll sometimes have to angle into the 50-50, just to go somewhere with the excess energy. It's odd, I've been doing this stuff for years but I still haven't figured it all out... I also agreee that it works better on 149s and decks above 8 inches but I never thought about the grind grooves helping you gain stability. One other thing that helped me were wheels with a more square side cut, so you're more confident in locking against the coping. On that note: Can anyone explain to me how to crosslock consistently? I tend to do heel-locked 50-50s which some people find more stylish but they're a bit unstable, too.

this helped me so much ben

Thanks for the shout out

Thanks Ben!!!!

2:02 you can notice since he was talking about the form that he has his feet in a comfortable position and his trucks aren't to close and yet not too far they are in the center which is what is meant when he said about bad placement (just so make it more simple I guess.)

very helpful

that skate park is sick

Great videos as always, what width of deck are you riding here with your 149 indies? If you remember :D

got super comfy when i first learned it. trick is to get the back truck super heel side so it’s easy to get back in

Are those the pivot cups squeaking or your old knees? Just joking man love your vids, some of the best tutorials on KZread

Just started again after longer than 32 years off. Find it easier if I approach the top as though going for a front side 5/0 then quickly sliding into a back side stall. Used to do this years ago and it let me fakie along the copping.

Hey man! Really enjoyed watching this video and your others, thanks for them. I’ve tried the backside before but slid out and fucked myself up and landed on the coping haha. Heard you say you started with the frontside and more comfortable with that. Can you please post a 50/50 frontside?! Would be amazing. Much love keep up the good work 👌🏼

Do you recommend 99 Foumula 4s which I have or should I get 101s or even Bones, the reason I ask this funny question is just for that little slide on the way getting up to it.

How big is ur deck?

Where is this park?

I only have 6” ramps where I live

For me, fs axle stall was a lot easier to learn. While doing the bs it happened really often that my front truck landed way behind the coping or I could not find the right balance at the top, probably because of leaning too much backwards. Obviously, coming back is much easier with the bs because you see where you are going to, but placing the tracks on the coping was a lot harder for me this way, specially when riding fast.

Good tutorial why the skatepark empty tho it’s such a good skatepark

That odd I feel backside stuff is easier then frontside when my back is to the ramp it make me nervous even frontside kick turns I have trouble with. I’m gonna start working on them tomorrow at the skate park when I go. I skated when I was young and was a maniac but I am now 40 and it been rough on my body started about 4 days ago took me 1 run and then the next day I dropped in again. But I’m pulling muscles in my legs cause my body not use to it but having so much fun. Skating through the pain to get my body use to it I have no choice I’m sure after a few week or a month th it will go away. Also not to good at going down the ramp backwards anymore when I get high in the transitions want to learn fakie rock and roll but I guess I should learn the 50/50 stalls again first there easier for me

I think I'm going to have to practice on a bank. Hopefully won't slide around too much. I got some ACE 66s.
