How do it

The most basic element in ramp skating. Should probably be your first step! What it is is simply going into the ramp off of the coping.

1.

Place your tail on the ramp coping, back leg on the tail, with your entire weight on your back leg.

2.

Now place your front leg on the bolts (closer to the nose) and both smoothly AND sharply go down into the quarter, holding your balance.

3.

Steady yourself in the quarter and continue riding.

I’ve been trying to drop in and I’ll smack my board down but then basically wipe out and do the most painful falls ever. HELP?

Jim Bates @jimbates4

I can drop in on a scooter but very time I go to a skatepark the quarter pipes are always too steep for me to try and I get really scared ?

What helped me keep balance is making myself as small as possible. This also sort of prevents you from leaning too far back

Everyone on this forum might seem like dicks, but they're not. It really is just commitment. Just hold someone's hands while you drop in.

I keep getting scared I’m going to fall and break a bone I randomly get sudden waves of courage but when I go up there my arms/legs shake?

Brock Springstead

You just gotta breath in. Then go. Don't lean back. Just trust in your skills and your board and you will do fine.

how do you commit into dropping in?

Juan Pablo Richetta

"Just commit" doesn't help, and I still chicken out. My friend said the drop is fine, but I continue to bail.

I can’t hold the board when it’s hanging off any tips?
