    It's just about that first drop. After you understand that it's your head playing with you, you'll never fail again.

      First time I got it, it just clicked, and I was immediately hooked! It's such a head game. Shoutout to the two random older skaters who spent their time teaching me and my friends how to do it correctly. I started on a huge mini. It was basically a real halfpipe, but without the vert. The first time I tried it with no instruction, I bodied HARD in front of a crowd. So glad those guys saw me and spent time teaching us how it's done. I might've never kept skating transition otherwise. There was no TH-cam or Braille back then! If you didn't have someone to teach you, it was rough. Took me years and THOUSANDS of attempts just to learn to ollie and kickflip as a kid before I'd ever been to a park.

      Exact same story for me man with my 11yr old but without the attempt to drop in yet. Twisted my ankle baaad in the first month but still been at it for about 6 months. Learning to bail properly at 45 yrs old and 100kg has been enlightening... And painful 😆

  • @Krunschy
    @Krunschy ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I feel Derek so much, my few drop in attempts must've looked just as dangerous. It's just so crazy how quickly this goes from safe to bodied, when you allow for a slither of doubt, making you instinctively pull your weight back.

    Just wanna say, I watched this earlier today and it's EXACTLY how I felt all my teen years skating. I've still never skated vert and this video made me make a trip to get my board and practice dropping in the afternoon. Dropping the shoulder was the tip I've waited 20years to hear and work!!!

    • @chrisvagabond

  • @casachezdoom2588
    @casachezdoom2588 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Overcoming fear is not easy, but hesitation is the worst thing. I learned the hard way when I hesitated doing a 360 on snowboard on an icy surface... I slammed badly, got a concussion (wasn't wearing a helmet then, bad move).
    The sooner you get it "over with" (the sooner you do the thing that scares you), the better. What's the worst that can happen? You slam? Put on some gear and do it. You bail? Do it again, right away. The old addage "getting back on the horse" exists for a reason, because if you don't it'll be worse. YOU CAN DO IT! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Aaron said it, it's all in the mind. There is no spoon.

    Love it! The first time I ever dropped in, it was on a pretty tall and steep mini, maybe even a full halfpipe but without the vert. I wasn't as scared as I SHOULD have been! I bodied so hard in front of a crowd. Shoutout to the two older skaters at the park who noticed and spent their time, on multiple days, teaching me and my friends to drop in correctly. Not to mention more than a few other tricks and tips. Without them, I might've never attempted it again or gone on to start skating transition.

    I’ve been trying to overcome the fear of turning into a back disaster over the coping, and this video reminds me of how similar all of these fears are. But of course nothing is as scary as your first drop in. Eventually you realize that you just have to take your chances with the first throw. And then boom, your body knows what’s going on and it just starts to work.

    Derek going through wvery basic trick would actually be a really really natural way to show off common issues and correct them and would also help comfort level and people learning the tricks feel less foolish for not getting it right away. Sounded like a random idea thrown out there but could really actually be really beneficial and something I've never seen anyone else do. A tutorial where someone's actually learning along side you. Dope.
