How To Drop In On A Skateboard

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 !

"Looking cool is no excuse for brain damage." That needs to be on a shirt. Or a sticker.

“In order to not die when you’re dropping in”

Dropped in today, fell down on my side and couldn't breathe anymore for a few seconds. Top notch experience!
Well tomorrow's another day :-)

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.

Bruh I literally looked up how to drop on a ramp and he's skating where I skate.

Just learned to drop in on a mini ramp today! Tip: When you choose to actually drop in, you have to commit 100%. Your hurting yourself if you don’t!

Sucks that the only ramps at my local skatepark are 2 meters high... Guess I'll just keep practicing my ollies

1 time I dropped from a big drop and I dind't know what I was doing back then and right before I dropped this grandma gave me her helmet so I used it to drop and I fell so hard on my head so I'm still thankfull for that 😂😂

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 know how to drop in, i just need a skatepark...

[flemes]

Me: *feeling a bit more comfortable dropping in since I'm watching a tutorial*
VL skate: here's what you should do so you won't DIE

[carti.]

Bruh I feel like I’m already on the halfpipe...

Facing my death 💀

[juancena]

I dropped in 3 times





CAme bAck a day later and got scared shitless

[donnieb]

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.

people would say to their parents “ no i don’t wanna wear a helmet, people will think im a beginner. “ like come on. doesn’t matter, “ looking cool “ isn’t better then falling on your face.
