5-0s

I had an ethic lindworm and i could lock backside 5-0s and hold them as long as i wanted, I've now aquired a 22" threshold, whenever I try them now my dropout just slips to the side and I just fall into a boardslide and then slip off the ledge. Any tips?

for some weird reason I can 5-0 on my addict.. I am guessing it is just something with the length of the deck maybe put your feet farther back on the deck? Idk just a thought, might try it out

v2i's are the best for 5-0s.
TSI's seem to be shitty for them by the looks of it to me
ethics suck dick for them
addict is almost impossible

You gotta get better at them then you won't have to lean on your wheel for them. On the Ethic you were able to lock into the inner shelf. Now you can't do that, time to figure it out.

You can do them fine on a Thresh once you get used to it. My mate 5-0'd a cement ledge a decent distance before he cut his deck for pegs and I learnt 5-0s first day on my Thresh.

Im just saying if you can already 5-0 you should get them easy once you get used to your deck, it just sounded like you were trying to blame the deck for you not being able to do a trick.
Just put your feet further back and hop then lean back. Spot where your dropout will land on the ledge and make sure its lined up properly.
