Let's rotate your screen clockwise to align end of ramp on horizontal and you'll see clearly all mistakes. You just do a Hippy jump, and board hit coping and get up uncontollable. When you riding on ramp, centrifugal force is much strong then gravity force. And you can describe riding on a ramp surface like on a flat, but vertical line is always direct to center of the ramp radius.
Hello, Just an idea: Try to lean forward more and have the weight on the heel (for the front foot). Even if the board was sticking to your feet, you would still be leaning backwards too much to land safely (as of right now). I had a similar issue on a different ramp with coping. It turned out I had too little weight on my front foot. Maybe you have the same problem. Greetings

More weight on the front foot? Interesting, because I thought the problem was that I had too much weight on the front foot. But won't this mean that I will "ride into the coping" when the front wheels hit the coping? When should I lift my front foot to avoid hitting the coping? I watched the video frame by frame and noticed that when the front wheels bonk off the coping, the nose starts moving upward, but quickly hits my front foot and then starts leveling out / going down. Do I need to lift the front foot more / earlier to avoid this?
Makes a lot of sense what you're saying, that's why I thought the exact same way. Two of my friends were having no trubble with jumping a ramp, I did. One of them told me to stop "bailing". I then realized that my reduced pressure on the front foot right after the wheels hit the coping somehow lead to my issues (your logic sounds just like the one I was using). I was probably too careful, relieved tension to early and had too little pressure on the board at the time the wheels hit the coping. I can't check if I'm right at this point in time (I'm injured), but as I remember, my issues immediately resolved as soon as I put more pressure on the front foot. My theory is that the board than has more inertia to clear the coping (because the friction between the griptape and your sole is increased), instead of slipping away under your foot. Who knows, maybe the wheels need to slam into the coping to pop up and gain inertia towards your foot? The Board might be lighter that it seems... The other thing: I feel like the pressure/ tension of the calve might pop the board away from your front foot. That's why I think pressuring the heel of the front foot might help you. again: I can't check if what I'm saying is correct at this point, because of my injury, but that's what helped me (at least as I remember). So what you might try: 1. lean forward more 2. more pressure on the front foot 3. more pressure on the heel instead of the toes

@rarvinmobin670 I re-watched my video and during the split screen part I noticed that I'm leaning much more forward on the low ramp. It looks more like I'm trying to "clear" a bump rather than ride up a ramp and do a jump. So maybe the bigger ramp also should be treated more like a "bump"? When I re-watch the video I also notice that I lean a lot backwards on the big ramp and probably also pump up / rise up way too much on the big ramp. I guess "keeping pressure on the front foot" will make the whole motion more like "normal riding" rather than "doing a jump"? I will experiment with this in my next session 😀 But what do you mean with step 3 - more pressure on the heel? Is it to avoid getting up on the ball of the front foot, like a "ballerina"? Is the idea that more pressure on the heel will help keep the board flat?
What I mean by the pressure on heel: the calve is a very explosive muscle. If you pressure like a "ballerina", you might accidentally push the board away with that explosiveness. The moment you've already cleared the coping, your calve might still pressure the board as if it had to support your entire body. That pressure is way to much for your board to stay on your foot though, and it's pushed away. By leaning on the heel, you might prevent that... Please let me know if it worked!

To get over coping you need work on bending knee much harder.
