Frontside 5-0 on Transition
Performed by Adam Sullivan-filmed by Dorian Tucker
Don't fool yourself, kids, a frontside 5-0 does not consist of a kickturn on the coping. You have to get up on top of that thing and scrape some metal off your trucks. To do this, or even attempt this, see that you can do a frontside 50-50 so you're comfortable with the feeling of the transition being behind you. When you've gathered your courage, pump towards the tranny going all fast. Start to turn and throw your body weight frontside, to get you momentum going that way, about a foot below the lip. Then, just lock your back truck onto the copes like you would for a 5-0 on a ledge. Once you get comfortable with balancing in that position, you can grind frontside 5-0 for days. Going down escalators is the best (no, not the kind in the mall).
