Dropping In On a Skateboard Ramp: Free Online Skateboarding Tricks & Tips

Video Transcript

" Hi! my name is Brandon and I work at BC Surf-n-Sport here in Coral Springs, Florida. You can find us on the web at www.bcsurf.com. Today, I am going to show you how to drop in on a ramp similar to this one right here. Basically, you want to try and find one that is fairly small, it will be a little bit easier for you if you are drop in on at your local skate part, make sure you wear your helmet, because if you fall you could definitely hit your head. So what you want to do is make sure that your board is over the coping, make sure you have one foot on the tail and your trucks are over the coping right here. What you want to do to get ready is pull one foot over the nose of the board, right over the bolts, if you have it too far down, you will you will be leaning too far back and you can slip back on yourself, if you are too far forward once you hit the ground you can flip forward and hurt yourself also. So basically what you want to do is simply have your front feet over the bolts and when you get ready to drop in just make sure you lean your weight forward and lean your shoulders forward also and make sure that they are parallel with the ramp just like you did with the bank ramp earlier, place your weight forward and drop."
