How do it
A drop is a downward leap from any element. Practicing is best done from low ledges, like say a street curb — it's safe and nonthreatening.
1.
Ride at medium speed. At the end of the element, shift your body weight backwards and simultaneously lift your front wheel in such as way as to eventually land on both wheels at the same time, or land smoothly on the rear wheel first.
2.
It's best to land on both wheels, as this will allow you to add tricks to the drop later. Your legs will take the bulk of the impact, so try to use them to cushion the landing. Do not under any circumstance try to land with your arms, it hurts like hell!
