[warwick24]

I've just done my own dropping in on vert video - search YouTube for How to Drop in on a Vert Ramp Without Killing Yourself

[warwick24]

It may seem odd him not wearing pads dropping in and telling you to wear them, but there's a reason for it: if you're a long-term vert skater, dropping in is just what you do at the start of every run. It's something you'll have done tens of thousands of times, to the point where there's zero risk of not making it and coming off. Whereas if you're learning it for the first time, the risk is very high indeed. But when Colin does tricks he finds hard, he wears helmet and pads

[TVP469]

dropping in okey, butt what do u do once ur on the other side?

[lewis2461]

I can ollie

[coopercrue]

Theres your face AHHHHHHH

[MegLemon14]

Best part wa the last 10 seconds. Thumbs up if you agree

[Brovourer]

Here's your face— AHH!

'Twas helpful, ty.

[widomz]

First time i tried this, i faceplantet the rap.. Been too scared to try again.. I dont skate that often, and im a beginner =P Still prefer bmx <3 dont hate on me, my choice :P

[NightSpeedRockstar]

@widomz have two of your friends down at the ramp just waiting to catch you so you know you cant get hurt. when i first dropped in it was on a 4ft and it was still scary lol

[widomz]

@NightSpeedRockstar yea, it freaking hurts like hell =x

[ZerFrozenJared]

@widomz

You only prefer bmx (at least from what i can tell form your comment) because its easier to go off ramps and harder to fall with. It's not really your preference form sheer enjoyment. You just don't like to fall. Me and you are in the same boat. I have learned to suck it up and go. Join us. DARKSIIIIIDE

[SexBOBom98]

thums up if ur a goofy rider

[skateboardscience]

Lol. I think I'll stick to rollercoasters.!! We have a half pipe in the local Skatepark, and tend to shy away from it. Maybe I will try a smaller ramp with less vert.

[skateboardscience]

Great video, but that level in skateboarding is only for the real pros.

[pinkyjr98]

Omg! I dropped in today and I didn't lean forward enough and slipped back, brused my rist, did the splits, hit my head and burned my ass on the street); screw this!

[skateXedit]

on the first i thought like, oke im going to drop in on a vert but when he told me i will see my own face I was so scared that I never want to drop in into a vert in my LIVE!! THANKS COLIN McKAY!

[GuilhermeRC1000]

Throught the video he wears no protection, and in the last 2 seconds he suddenly got protection and advertise the important use of it.

[rickyspirals]

what happens if you hold the nose while dropping in?

[fakeras123]

great now i can drop in i need one vert ramp and a couple balls

[Tixler]

he is so right about not leaning to far forward. found that out today.

[tumuchtym]

thnx a bunch!

[90158160]

damn! i'll never drop this!! I know i will scar to die

[petemk1966]

oh my g- lets save the lemmings,

str8'n your legs just before the bottom and then do a kickturn-dont pump your legs- ok!! now lets try and get some speed up next time, and reach for the magazines.

[petemk1966]

oh my g- lets save the lemmings

[Blind6891]

its really not that bad, but you will probably get an inch of air as your dropping in on the vert part of the halfpipe

[triviumfr3ak]

[RadioactivebunnyZ]

[RavinTheTechDecker]

Pls Help Me, how do you go down the ramp the second time. like, after u have goe down the ramp and ur at the top of the half pipe prepared to do down backwards.

[EthernalSkateFilms]

Canada represent!

[kbawesome101]

[TheMrRubik]

[numnutth]

i used to play as this guy all the time in X Games on PS2 back in the day

[MrLA7X]

wouldn't try it first on a 14 ft ramp :L

[swaggass20]

I'm so afraid to drop in

[milkus2000]

and don't forget to wear your pads!!

[chickenz0wn1]

when i drop into a pretty high vert, like 6ft (which is high for me.) i dont get enough speed to get to the top of the ramp on the other side any suggestions?

[bubbachilly5]

@chickenz0wn1 Pump

[thefreesyler09]

I love how he added the were ur pads after it was clear he never does.

haha

[hardcorepunk1987]

I don't wear a helmet too. you have to know this for yourself. ;)

[palmtree4sk8r]

he doesnt wear a helmet da hole vid and at the end he goes... oh ya dont forget to wear pads....

[screamergenius]

0:07 now we know y he gets so much action

[IAmTheOutCrowd]

oh god..... thank god he got a haircut

[memphis990]

*drops in unprotected* "oh yeah and don't forget to wear your pads" :L

[HEKTOR1X]

Hears Ur face, "Aaaaaah!!!" lmao! True

[The5533]

now u tell us to wear our pads?

[1MrHoneyBadger]

Oh yeah and this is your face: AAAGH!!

[adrik15044]

thank you for theachin me m first dropin of a vertramp

[timmtums]

its not really hard to drop in i learned at 10

[jackpye]

thats asome u dont care about falling off is all u have to do is dont fink about it

[KyogresWrath]

is dropping vert different to dropping a quarter thats like 9 foot with no vert?

[Morrison123ful]

Thanx for the advice m8 i can do it now it was always a failyure for me lol

[katyyxp11]

It may seem scary to drop in but its not. You want to put your front foot on the front bolts or below it, then lean forward and put as much pressure as you can on your front foot and drop in. Don't lean back or else you will fall.

(thumbs up if this helped you)

[Starchat1]

@katyyxp11

Drop in is very easy. I just wanted to watch how anothers do it. :D

[djon1112]

@katyyxp11

so pretty much the same as dropping like a average size bowl or something?

[numnutth]

i used to love playing as this guy on my X games ps2 game when i was a little kid.

[2WIRE311]

how many times will i fall before mastering it?

[Haloboy1223]

@2WIRE311 everyones different. i fell a shit load of times on the 3 foot ramp. but then i tried it on the 5 foot drop in when i got more comfortable. i learned after 3 tries on the 5 foot. when u can start to drop in dont get cocky and try a high drop in like the 8 foot. i did it and bailed so bad. that was almost a year ago and my knees still hurt

[citrussk8team]

@Haloboy1223 my first was a six foot the park didnt have any smaller took me 1 try mostly cause i was skating a lil and had enough balance

[Haloboy1223]

@citrussk8team nice. when i first tried dropping in which was a long ass time ago it was my first time at the skate park and my friend pressured me into dropping in and stuff. but i can do it easily now.

[nikolagamer222]

he looks like dustin dollin

[WW4MM]

HAHAHAHA

[yotad03yo]

If ur that scared put a pillow under ur butt and man up!!!!

[axedecapitation]

i skate tranny alot, and still my heart skips a beat when i skate vert.

[tj0524]

im scared to drop in because my first try was at a packed skatepark and i took so long just standing on the coping that i managed to gather the attention of everyone in the park so when i ate shit guess who got laughed at by everyone skating even the punkass kids who were like a good 3 years younger than me

[FrescoDaMan]

i like how he says don't forget to wear you gear after he already did three or four times without 'em

[Isk8hard12345]

im scared to drop in i tried once and i just got scared and like fell straight in i basically air walked off

[loxton93]

Oh yeah just done the vid but remember to wear your pads haha

[mel2thegibson]

i have no problem dropping in. on vert ramps though they're like straight down! im scared to do it dammit!

[techdeck4life100]

@mel2thegibson i know threr scary i skate too i dont fuking just techdeck if you dont belive me than go suck ur moms dick and stabe a a knife in your penis that goes to evereon

[Donman796]

I think it's at rye airfield in New Hampshire.

[mrshaunography]

omg wer is tht the ramps look soooo freekin smooth and polished dude u gotta tell me

[TacosGod]

DAMN thats high

[TehCupcakeBandito]

Ah he's goofy footed like me :D

[jadejailbreak]

@ tehcupcakebandito. me 2. im so scared to drop in. im afraid of heights

[hellboyspit]

lol and heres your face AAHHHH

[catastrovision]

i used to do this, but i didnt skate for a long time now i cant do it anymore!!!! OMFG!!!!!

[SkaterChick797]

Oh yeah, and here's your face-AHHH!!!!

[toeindustries]

droping in is so freken easy

[proSk8boarderboy]

not for ur first time though

[jimmylimmo]

Like he said start small and work your way up. That's what I did. 1.Practice pumping and kickturns on every size transition available to get used to the feeling. Once you're doing kick turns just under the coping you got it. Visualize your kick turn as you turn 180, you're virtually dropping in as you go go down the ramp.2. Drop in on something your comfortable with 100 times, then move up to something bigger. You will be so sick of the smaller one you'll naturally drop in w/o hesitation.

[TheAC44]

and heres ur face aaah! i wonder if colins up in vancouver watchin the olympics, he himself being a local and all

[sheroMaggot95]

And heres you face AAHHHGFHHH

[Roflcopterlolwtf]

"hey remember to wear your pads guys". At the end of the vid, nice one. Gonna try a 10 ft with 1 ft of vert tomorrow.

[coronah]

i remember going to a skate park and i saw a fat man trying to drop in a halfpipe and slipped backwards and ate hard shit

[X32006]

@coronah hahaha lol i just learned dropping in bout a week ago

[ElementDecks96]

Can Some one help me i can get my wheels to the ramp but i can never land it

[leexlma]

if u keep jumping of you just need to keep trying until u feel comftable and get used to it

[ihategerman1]

it might be that you push just a little too much forward?

[EnjoiSk8r135]

ahhh, its so intimidating!!!

[PeterCasanovaPan]

hey collin when did u get an afro lol

[link216]

i tried it today

you got to remember to slam the board and lean forward

i leaned forward but didnt puch down quick enough and fell down the entire thing onto my hip

[DayInRain]

I had a fun experience learning how to drop in. It was on an eight footer with a ten foot ext. First time I tried it going down the eight foot side, I nailed it, No prob. So I get cocky and go for the extention....I leaned in and fell straight chest first to flat bottom. And my board was stuck in the drop in position at the top. But it was def worth it once I convinced the board to go down with me....

[skatemore48]

"THERE'S UR FACE AHHH!!!!"

[themusicianskater]

lol i did that

[tjstubbs1]

@skatemore48  lol

[TTimmyPokemonDude]

@skatemore48 100th thumbs up!

[skatemore48]

@TTimmyPokemonDude Holy shit! i just saw that! O.o

[dhl1986]

put your tail on the coping, lean forward and prepare to be dominated at least twice before you get the hang of it

[legend6060]

@dhl1986 why would you be dominated tho? i landed it 1st go and i know lots of other people who did it there 1st attempt aswell, u'll only get 'dominated' if u don't commit.

[ISpyCornFLAKES]

@dhl1986 Its just your courage at the end of the day. just think of it as a 8 foor mini.

[billymorgan69]

@dhl1986 i got that shit first try

[colloredbrothers]

My name is Colin Mmmmckaaay?

[greeneyesgonmissya]

"oh yea don't forget to wear your pads, you guys."

lol after the fact. nice.

[mattsgoneskatin]

keep ur legs bent and as you reach the end of the ramp stretch ur legs out

[Trincia941]

elemantal ya u r right all u gotta do is lean forward then once u feel ur self start to go down lean back as far as u can n u will b amazed at what happens

[parkway2790]

hahah yea listen to trincia941

[elemental47]

just push down and lean as far back as you can

[Fluudu]

Lean forward when you push down, then let your body go with the shape of the ramp, keep your shoulders level with the boardonce you get it down try 5 times in a row then you'll be able to do it 99%

[mattsgoneskatin]

are u retarded if you do that the board will shoot out from under you

[teethathon]

dropping in on a vert wall is 99% mental if you already know how to drop in

[mypipeaddicts]

haha goofy

[SDxGlitchers]

haha he is better than u will ever be so shut the fuck up mongo faggot

[mypipeaddicts]

ur a dumbass bitch

[cdogg765]

its funny how he tells us to put are pads on at the very last seconds

[mcgrath111]

lol what a mad guy he must have done it a million times the veiw we all see is like fuck but 2 him its like yeh... lol mad skater!

[DanJoshMac]

lmaoo "heres your face AHHH!!!"

[jackmarsh17]

u want to slam the nose of it down as hard as you can and lean foward

[a7xsynistergates]

If you slam down on your nose then your gonna slam into the flatbottom...

[SkateBoardOB]

every time i drop in i do a manual or i fall can any one tell me what i am doing wrong.

[gamerskater621]

lmao same with me

[OsmanExpress]

You want to lean forward and commit to it more

[mainface]

as said above man, just lean forward and stomp the front foot down, he mentions holding or touching the nose when some people are dropping in, this helps because your bodyweight is on the way forward

[F0r3st12]

Put more pressure on your front foot above the front trucks

[BeserkinPeanut]

If you keep taking your back foot off it's because you're scared, once you get to the ramp drop in straight away and don't even think about the ramp itself to get over it.

[linkfanatic13579]

how do I lose my fear of falling when I drop in?

[moocow346]

wear pads

[mypipeaddicts]

think of your girlfriend kissing you after you nail it. if u don't have a girlfriend then that sucks

[linkfanatic13579]

haha I got a girlfriend 2 weeks ago at the skate park actually XD

[Batteree]

I keep taking off my back foot when I drop in...

help?

[SpoonfulOfHero]

HAHA 1:00

[BTxI9o4]

it looks so easy but it's damn haard!

[SK8facts]

its funny that he says to hear protection pads but for the trick tip he din't had any. xD

[david94549]

dropping vert is easy but tail taps are hard for me even on a mini lol

[Pakawee]

[CRAZYMONKEY4545]

[TRACE703]

[alleniversonfan1]

ya. i went to a skatepark 2day. first time too. and its so hard to drop in. its scary and i also do a manual. i dont know y. i have the balls though! lol

[Trojan7308]

You have to lean forward when you do it and put your front foot on the front bolts.

[NeighborThunder]

You can't just stand there, it's one of those things where you just have to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and go for it. But once you learn how to, it's SO fun

[CRAZYMONKEY4545]

i do that aswell. ma dad tells me to push down harder. thats crap i say back gonna go bed!

[vapordice164]

[WarriorEcho94]

K i can drop in fine, but I have trouble going up quater pipes. Any advice?

[MetaIIicam]

I first tried when I was 9. the skate park wouldnt let me in without a helmet, thankfully, because I did a faceplant. Except the helmet took the shock. looking at it on video, I look like such a lil badass

first time i tried a vert was at the skate barn west in seattle and after staring at the botto
