i'm at the challenge where you have to go from a 5-0 grind to a FS Tail slide

I just can't get it! I understand how grinding works i'm just really having a hard time with it.

No problems getting on with the 5-0 as thats real easy, but switching to the tail is killing me

ive been ableto get to the BS Tail, which is pretty much the most frustrating thing in the world since it doesnt count

should i be trying to just ollie straight off the 5-0 and then doing the stick motion to get the FS tail

i need some tips!!

Before do the grind just swithc your stance from what you're at, then your BS tail will be a FS tail

I just use the left stick to switch grind tricks...works better for me than fiddling with the right stick. When you are in the 5-0, move the left stick left or right (depending on which side of the rail the skater is positioned) and the back truck will slide off the rail while the tail catches the rail to complete the grind.

Oh okay, well what I did was just slide my right analog stick around in the direction I thought I had to go to get to the tail, and he just kinda slid into it. I'm not sure if the ollie thing would work because I think it registers the ollie as a trick in between and that doesn't work. BTW when you get to the Rob and Big challenge be prepared for one of the hardest challenges you've ever done lol, I honestly spent more time on that challenge than I have on any other video game challenge

I still haven't beat it and everytime I would go for the tail it would keep going to a salad. I just did the last video I had left and I unlocked the Thrasher magazine. Anyway, would someone please help us both, this is the last thing I have to do for the Skateboard magazine for now.

i finally got it to work, i ended up just getting in the 5-0 and then sliding the right stick to the appropriate side, you dont get out of the grind, you just go from one to the other, he'll just go from the 5-0 and then slide right onto the tail
