Advice from people who have dropped in to those who haven't is always going to be some form of "just do it!" Once you have dropped in, you'll understand why. The barrier to anyone who is at all competent on their board is 99.999% in your head. As soon as you do it, the feeling is like "Oh, that was a really silly thing to get stuck on." EVEN KNOWING THIS, I have yet to drop in on pool coping into a pool. Brains are weird.
I tried dropping into a mini ramp when I was 10 and it scarred me for years. Fast forward 23 years and I'm skating again, skated a mini ramp for the first time since 2001 last week, rocked to fakie two days ago. This week, I will drop in. Thank you for breaking this down technically, its a massive help.
Observing the drop-ins at the start I feel helped me a lot to get the idea, but it's pleasant to see that there are some psychological concepts covered that make it easier as well. Having protectors on the hands and elbows sometimes helps me to commit more as well. Good video.

This is what I’ve been working up to the last few park sessions. Rolling up and down mellow banks, and then trying steeper banks. Next was rolling in to mellow transition and then slightly steeper transitions (no coping, just a roll in style). Finally I was able to roll up and out of a 3.5’ transition, but just couldn’t roll in on it. It felt too steep for my skill level. I think a few more sessions of practice to get more comfortable will be good. Once I can do that 3.5’ roll in and get it down, I’ll be good for real drop ins in the 4’ bowl
While saying “lean forward and just commit” finishes within 5 seconds, I thought there was a better way to inspire and motivate people. Thank you for the comment!
Do I have a tipee or a patreon ? I love Ur work and it looks like I put a lot of effort and scientific ressources into it. I'd love to support financially this unique and helpful work that I do ❤️❤️❤️ Keep killing it !🔥🔥
@@midnighttoker8663I feel ya here. More safety equipment, a different board setup better suited to vert, and practice sliding down the feature so you know how to bail when something goes wrong are fantastic for keeping you safer. The thing that worked for me is a drill from Braille skateboarding, you just have to know how to pump. 1. Stand in the middle of the half pipe or bowl. 2. Push yourself to one side and ride up it a little bit. 3. Using your ability to pump, gain speed to roll to the other side. 4. Try to roll higher on this side. You can use a visual aid if you need to, like chalk or washable marker. 5. Taking as long as you need to, try to reach just below the coping. You've conquered the speed, board control, and height parts of the feature. Congratulations! Now just drop in and do it, or roll up over the coping. Be patient with yourself. As long as you're seeing improvement, you'll get there. If any fear proves too difficult to shake on your own just skating, you will need to do some research on overcoming fears.
I can roll down from a bank if I'm coming from a flat spot but I still can't drop in or roll up it and coming down switched. Hope I can learn from this and eventually learn how to do it someday 🤞
are you planning to make this AI tool available for public in the future? I would love an AI coach like this to watch my trying my tricks and giving me feedback
Bro's just publishing the forefront of skateboarding science as free game. Much love

Same here brother! Let’s do it this week!!!!!

A detailed breakdown of pumping would be great!

Your videos are really great, thank you! :)

That sounds like a great training plan!
If I had your videos when I was still skating, I would be probably better and less broken ^^
Very simple, logic and interesting videos :)
Man all the research u do is a phd lv. Tks for sharing it.

@@whythetrick btw that noseblunt was SICK!!!
can you do a video on "how to ollie while moving" you literally taught me how to ollie now im just stuck doing it while moving.

I can drop in mini ramp up to 4 fit fine but anything beyond that I can't, so scary 😓😓
try using pads, helmet and wider board
@@jaredlopez-alamilla3113 I wear pads and helmet but I'm scared of the near vertical top part of the transition... Think I will slip out

I could teach you immediately but its hard to put in words. Do you have a small quarterpipe?

I will never forget the moment when I made my first drop in a quarter in 1997. Overcoming the fear was a struggle that felt like it lasted for days.
