50-50 is riding straight along a box, rail, or slider with the nose pointing in the travel direction and the board flat on the feature.
Approach straight, ease off edge before contact, keep the handle low, and stay centered over both feet. Let the feature carry you instead of edging on it.
Progression note: start on a wide box or tabletop before narrow rails. If weight drifts to an edge, step down in speed or feature size.
