Definition: A 5-0 (Five-Oh) is when the skateboarder grinds with only the back truck. The nose of the skateboard is up in the air a little, making the whole trick look and feel something like a manual.
The 5-O got it's name because it is half of a 50-50 grind (only the back trucks are grinding, instead of both).
"Grinding" is when a skateboarder rides his or her board in such a way where the trucks of the board are making contact with a rail, curb, etc, and not the wheels. A "Slide" is similar, but when the actual board is making the contact, not the wheels or trucks.
