How To Drop In On A Skateboard
So I took a trip to the new local park and decided to try my hand at making a video about dropping in. Dropping in can be super scary and intimidating when you're trying to learn it for your first time but will some confidence and a little prep you should be good. Just remember to always be safe if you don't feel comfortable with what you're doing. Hopefully you can learn this one because it will open up a whole new world of skatepark skating.
I think I may do a few more tutorials that are specific to skateparks coming up soon :)
As always, thank you for watching, and I will see you next time!

Hi ! First of all, I like your videos a lot and they are very helpful. That being said, I'd like to add a few things as I recently learned to drop in. • I think that the key is that the shoulder that is in the front should NEVER be higher than the one that is at the back. That way, you will never slip out. • Another thing that helps is to force your front hand to barely touch your nose when you're going to drop in. That way, you'll lean naturally and you won't even have to think about the previous advice. • Don't think, just go. • And a thing that you didn't mention but that is clearly visible on your video : your front foot MUST be perpendicular to the board. Don't place it like for a kickflip at a 45° angle. If you do that, you will not roll straight !!! Very important, 90° angle. • And because it's 2018. Film yourself while trying, it will help you a lot to correct your mistakes !

hey! thank you for the added tips, i definitely agree with everything you said

@dandowling751 6 лет назад

PosiEric also a way to commit is to have ur friend or even you count down from 5. Helps me commit to everything.

@silvisornatum9979 6 лет назад

The tip number two is what helped me to drop in. Its a great guarantee that you wont fall on your back. Also helps a lot to practice how to push the nose down towards the floor. Peace ✌

@ericlecreateur 6 лет назад

Hulluu FetishWorld True for the practice. Been doing that a loooooooot !

@fannys941 6 лет назад

PosiEric I set my front foot at 45 degrees. If I position it at 90 degrees, I can't keep balanced, and will most likely fall forward, so that is not a rule for everyone :)

Best tip is just go for it. If you think too long, you won't do it. You think too much, you'll mess it up. Commit and you'll get it. It's honestly the easiest thing you can do. Easier than an Ollie. It took me two tries, first try I failed because I got scared, fell and ate shit. I realized it wasn't that bad, it isn't. So just commit and you'll be fine. Skating transition is really, really fun. I recommend just going for it.

1. Foot placement (Don't put your back foot too far back, square on the board. Don't put your front foot on the tail and have it square on the board too.) 2. Practice 3. Shifting weight 4. Confidence (Don't hesitate) 5. Do it in all in one motion These are my tips of helping you to drop in.

I watched a LOT of drop in videos, and this is the one that actually clicked for me. The way he shows his body moving into the ramp while still keeping his board static, then shifting the board down to match his body thats already in the ramp, is what did it for me. PERFECT angle and video to teach dropping in. Thank you for this video, this is absolutely the best one on youtube.
