Mini Ramp - How to Drop In on vert or a MiniRamp / Halfpipe

[thepyromaniac9927]

there is no copeing 

[TheSwiftkillr]

Shit looks like it was filmed it 1992

[NcStef21]

that's a vert ramp not aa mini ramp

[brianator145]

hell yea so fuckin buttery ass

[MrSelfHater]

For a moment your voice sounded like tony hawk's voice

[BowlplusStreet]

I hope when I go to drop my 5 foot I dont lean too forward and faceplant, Better than slipping back lol

[RonLarhz]

that is not mini?!!!

[HunterSkates9]

that first drop in was beastly

[mw2quickscop3z]

this video is so beast he not only shows what to do he also shows us what NOT to do lol

[marc123113]

When i drop in i do a manual :S what am i doing rong

[GIV3M3BACONOR3LSE]

@marc123113 not leaning forward or put more pressure on your fromt foot

[wartree]

vert drops are scary as shit, as always

[nathancamaro]

your drop is diferent and exotic '-',very good

[nounever]

Lean the fuck into it, that's it lean the fuck into it and keep steady work your way up don't start on a fucking giant vert you will die unless you are American and stupid just joking.

[Maddkilla2]

when i drop in i always do a manual but i never slip out

[theVirus7788]

@Maddkilla2 i think you have alot of control on your board but in a vert ramp its a lot harder to do a manuel while dropping in, i talk to much

[Maddkilla2]

@theVirus7788

yeah thats true the mini ramp i usually skate on is only like 6 foot but if i did that on a vert ramp i would definately lose control

[typodest]

u make it look to eseay

[proSk8boarderboy]

before you try to drop in learn how to roll in

[proSk8boarderboy]

i would be funny if when he was pretending to fall on the miniramp he really fell

[111222333fff]

LOL 2:25 omfg i almost pissed my pants...ROFL im still laughing.

[qone1200]

best tutorial. you guys are really good and positive guys. so many haters out there hating on me being a newbie but everyone's been one at some point

[robinett11]

are you from oregon?

[berrymoviemaker101]

hey i always try to do those ramps but damn ist scary and it doesnt work with my any tips ???

[thechillout133]

i would hate to have scotties job towards the end

[KyogresWrath]

i need a tut on the drop in with manuals, you know when people just roll in to the ramp but their board doesnt toach the coping they jsut kinda manual off into the ramp

[TrueColdKiller1]

IF YOU HIT THE COPING AND TURBO NEGRO SAILOR MAN WILL POP OUT AND SLAP YOU WITH HIS SAILOR SACK. 

[21ricky666]

its not hard at all, you just have to know what to do and how to go into it with your weight, and get over the mental block. good vid.

[FlexRamps]

the other day i dropped in for the first time, 30 min later i was doing tailstalls and rock to fakies in a 10ft mini ramp i am so stoked

[2braden4]

Hella steep bro!!!!

[ThatMaggotKid2113]

@wakeglorystudios congrats man. i have a question. is it worse to lean more towards the back or front of the board?

[JPfingerskater]

dropping in on something with pool coping is fucked up. just saying

[imYOUNGandRECKLESS]

the main thing you need to have.... BALLS! THATS ALL IT TAKES. quit being a pussy and do it. if you fall do it again!!!!!! its scary at first but then your like wow i was being a pussy thats not even hard. i could keep on lecturing you guys/ girls about this but im going to go instead

[cypressride]

wider boards help out a lot. i use an 8.5

[heinzz93]

Hey guys dropped in today, well i fukd up did commit properly, but for id avdvise using knee pads, cuz my knees are stuffed and bloody.

Good luck ^^

[ViRealStudios]

I got a chance to film this kid from Seaside its up on my channel he's going be pro soon. Check him coming up HES from Seaside OREGOn

[wakeglorystudios]

YAY TODAY I DROPPED IN!!!!!

[heinzz93]

Once you line your board up just go, some people wait 5 minutes, but the longer you wait the more shit clouds your head like, what if?....

Be like one of those gay ass nike ads and 'just do it' :-)

[wakeglove]

I have tried many times to drop in but I have failed every time, but I can do a 6 foot roll in. I just don't get it!

[SprinklesRyan]

that is a bowl not a half pipe

[mclmatty]

@SprinklesRyan still vert though

[jul7254]

i have been skating for like 5 monts now im not bad but i dont live in the city so ther isnt much to skate so now i built myself a 4 footh tall 8 feeth wide and 26 feeth long mini ramp but i cant get myself to drop in

[TheLonelyHappyMeal]

@jul7254 just decide to fall on your ass and fall on purpose

[ryaanmulliner2009]

i dropped my first vert a month ago its a bowl with 3 different sizes i love vert bowl and mini

[Jessicagnade]

im gonna drop in today!

my first time ever on a skateboard.

wish me luck.. ;$

[MrJwillrocku]

See.. The first time I dropped in I just made myself do it and kept saying "If you dont do this your a pussy." After about 5 more minutes of staring I dropped in first try. Its an awesome feeling. But I've stood up on top of a vert wall before. I dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon..

[DarkNinjaPictures77]

im gonna try and drop in on a 7 ft tomorrow. doesnt seem that hard so ill try it.

[JGrocks18]

their easy but my friend tried and i think broke his nose

[letsgooutandsk8]

i suck at vert lol

more of a streetsk8er

[mrtheroosterdude]

DON'T BE LIKE SCOTTY! Well, except for dropping into a huge bowl.

[proSk8boarderboy]

is this in scotts valley?

[Tigercub498]

I can't commit, actually I have never tried it. But I am thinking of going to the skatepark this weekend to check out the little drop in, its like 3 foot. I have only been skating for a few weeks, should I try?

[mattyman17]

damn why are there no sweet skate parks where i live? and all the other skateparks are full of people not actually skating!

[player5508]

today i went to my local skatepark, and i tried to drop in on a 5 foot mini ramp, i kept falling and scraping my right leg, ( i drop in with my left in front) and i kept fallling on my right leg, i also fell on my but / hip, it hurt, anyways i just dont know what i am doing wrong. i an porlly gonna go again tomorro, so if somone can help me before then please do if not help whenever you can,. thanks!!

[C00LGUY998]

@player5508 your not transferring your weight right.

[Panino4life]

@player5508 you are most likely leaning back too much... i got a 3 ft miniramp (started on a 5) in my backyard so ive been learning alot. anyway... what you have to do is set your feet up (like the video says) and then lean forward until you can just see over the nose... lean forward and slam your front foot down... (you cant really lean too far forward so go a little farther than feels comfortable) the key is to make contact with your front wheels before you start to move...

hope this helps. :D

[proSk8boarderboy]

@Panino4life ya it does thx

[kamero5440]

i tried it once to drop in and i fell now im trying to find like a 2 or 4 feet big

[Lakerzfanboy4]

thats a bowl/pool not a ramp

[serenaally]

i dont own a ramp or live near a skatepark so i cant even drop in on a 1 foot ramp and i have been skating for 9 months now

[MrEZIO1998]

wow! I did my first drop today (my friend learned me)

[hinghong5]

2 quick tips. i had my m8 tie my feet to the board and place me in posistion so i had to drop in to move and 1 of my m8s held a bag on stuff in his lead hand to help with the leaning

[MKiller5]

Perfect tutorial , thanks :)

[Darkray12]

SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW

OH SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW

SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW OHH OHH

[swshadowwarriorsw]

thanks dudes :P i only can do it on a funbox I keep falling on the half pipe because Im scarred :P keep tring

[TheRandyp98p]

i broke my arm skating

[sk8r4lifematt]

nice "mini ramp" to start lol

[AnthonyUseryJr]

thanks for the tips

[ninjaorepicfail]

how do you get over fear of that?

[danthordan]

@ninjaorepicfail By not following your natural instincts to lean back. Just lean forward, it'll feel wrong and scary, but that's what you have to do in order not to fall.

[dragzz1]

this is in fact the most easiest trick in skateboarding. It's just the fear that makes it feel hard.

[pie0eater]

The last thing happened so much to me. But no I can finally drop in properly :D

[yamaksi123]

thanks

[GrainedODST101]

wow dis dude sure knos how to rack out rofl

[cybernaab]

you know it's funny when i go down a small ramp im a bit scared to fall

but on the biggers ones or the really big ones i dont really care

i always have the feeling like im falling on my back on those little useles ramps and im talking about those real tiny ones

[ratvermilion]

I slip backwards so often ....such a common mistake

[emovideomaker999]

@benbonigan u kno like that half the ppl who say douche doesnt even kno what a douche is. i think its quite funny!

[bpark13]

@emovideomaker999 you use it to clean a very special place

[emovideomaker999]

i kno that already

[skateboardsking3000]

drpping in is soo easy

[emosandwich19]

that is a big drop in

[Brofather77]

@emosandwich19

Hell ya,

[Stanley9863]

I WILL COMITT!

[free0cats]

mini ramp is for street skaters douche

[benbonigan]

LOL who says douche!/?

[zakydibben]

its a french shower

[Tomasthesk8dude]

ramps are fun as fuck, you should try them

[Go0fYsKaTeR]

at 2:29 i did that but much worse and i almost broke my elbow

[Andr3wco7]

I smashed my elbow yesterday practicing that XD

[Blacky3156]

2:08 happened to me on a bigger ramp

almost broke thumb

[bpark13]

@Blacky3156 aw really ur THUMB. lol

[mrhusi]

did my first one today, much easier than i thought

[fordyjim]

fuck up so bad b4 this vid now i sorted even on a nine ft

[GeorgeC2009]

I dropped in today, I could not bring my self to do it, but I got a friend to hold me as I did it, and I had the confidence to do it with someone holding me. After that, I tried again without any help and I did it. Once you get over the fear of actually dropping that board, it's very easy, so get a friend to help you, it really DOES help and it's not for "fags"

[TankFbs]

@GeorgeC2009 you r so right yestarday i learned the same way and now oday i can do a 15 ft

[steviewonder32]

@GeorgeC2009

haha thats wat a fag would say

[pijanykrolik]

@GeorgeC2009 i will acctually try drop in using your method I think that will help me alot ! :D

[estebanrivas95]

@GeorgeC2009 thats how i taught my friend stevie how to drop in and he dropped it at the biggest ramp at the skatepark before i did.

[shaunaldinho7]

@GeorgeC2009 Fair play u got the balls to say yeah i needed help cos guess wot my mrs was my leaning post on my 1st drop in :D but i returned the favour for her :D

[02926776]

@shaunaldinho7 roflmao!!!!!!!!!!

[GeorgeC2009]

@shaunaldinho7

Thanks, I don't get why people make fun of people who are scared to drop in, it's just like landing any other skateboarding trick, takes determination

[Therobbieperson]

@GeorgeC2009 yeah i wanna drop in to a really big drop at my local skatepark but im afraid im gonna crash badly should i do that?

[UbKpworld]

@GeorgeC2009 Hey thanks for the tip, Im just curious how does he hold you when you are going down?

[thelolmanlol96]

@GeorgeC2009 I agree. Its so true :P I dropped in today, by myself, but I agree with you that it isnt for fags. I tried 3 times with failing and the fourth time I did it! And the fifth too. But it would probably go faster if my friend was there to help :D

[colosseumskater]

@GeorgeC2009 that can help. Just someone saying how to do, better then this vid.

[armymen1232]

@GeorgeC2009 i was afraid to and finally after a long time my friend got me to do it but when i did it i manualed and fell on my butt and i havent done it since but im thinking about trying again

[Chris9029738]

@armymen1232 I feel like such a fag cuz i tried it fell tried it again destroyed my ass and never tried it again damn.

[proSk8boarderboy]

@armymen1232 first time got the wind knocked out of me i then tryed to roll in did it and after that dropped in

[andwhat22]

thanks im gonna try today

[OldMagicFingerProduc]

@GeorgeC2009 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah­haa

[imwaytoohigh101]

@GeorgeC2009 haha that kinda is faggy. every single person i know learned by themselves and not by another dude holding them.

[0633767jerishowrulez]

after seeing this my confidence has been boosted and i think i will try the drop in for the first time tommorow.

[sdsk8r221]

im a pretty decent tranny skater, but how do u drop in on pools? with actual pool coping??

[hibzlocal]

same as you would on any other ramp really just commit to that shit

[sdsk8r221]

thanks homie

[hibzlocal]

no worries matey when you do it for the 1st time you'll be suprised how simple it actually is

[Andy2theT]

just move ur hips over ur front foot, into the tranny, and roll on like a pro

[kierrancase09]

i got some advise dont miss your nose when you slam down ..... not good ...... faceplant ...... fail

[PivotWithCake]

yea i figured that out yesterday... fail... ouch...

[dodgydogman]

Start on a non-concrete quarter pipe.. That looked HIGH.

Wear shitloads of padding until you can do it without bailing to give yourself confidense. :D

[kierrancase09]

and once you do youll find your skills will incress in evrey way youl be more coferdent on your board helpin you become better

[SentinelConvergence]

If you're more comfortable skating goofy then ride goofy, you can learn to ride switch when you're more confident.

[ElementDecks96]

does it matter what u r like regular or goofy cause i ride goffy but im supost to ride regular

[EnjoiYourMeal]

that makes no sense. how are yo supposed to ride regular?

[TheLiham]

DISCRIMINATION!! :O

[QuidditchMaster86]

I can't do it! I'm being a pussy Dx Help?

[F0r3st12]

Just go for it. Chances are you'll screw up, then you'll get mad and want to get it right XD

[SPiDAAMuNKy]

trust me you can do it just lean in hard the fist time after that its good

or just drop in and jump of ur board

[mccauley90]

just let your back foot go limp, and think about the middle of the board. i did it for the first time yesterday

[kingofmuffinville]

im afraid too...ill get it though...

i never commit so i always end up hitting my head or back on the ramp XD

[watermage25]

i always slam on my knees i think my kneed caps are going to need to be replace

[Enjoiskating9]

u no we have acually had sex

[wflipj]

im always pussing out any suggestions

[italiansniper01]

just gotta do it dude

[wflipj]

i no i just droped in 2day on a mini pipe 4 footer almost 5 footer

[Andy2theT]

just fucking grab your balls and do it a few times. i actually cant land drop ins 90% of the time but im not scared to do it anymore cus i just did it a couple times and now im good

[wflipj]

i finjally did it

[montalanderfilms]

I've tried dropping in 3 times,,,all of them hurt. On the third one I slammed my chin, knee, and elbow at the same time,,,had a black bump on my chin for a couple days..

[ultraninja2727]

i am still trying to drop in but everytime i try i fall i think its because i dont lean forward hard enough. on my friends second day at the skatepark a random guy lied to him and told him that it was his first time dropping in so if he did it on the 3 foot ramp then my friend had to. my friend doesnt like backing out so he did it. by the end of the day he did a 6 foot vert

[TheFadedGuitar]

Haha, the 10 foot scares me

[ehh80]

1:51 haha

[enjoiFrog]

it looks so easy when your looking at someone dropping in from a front view but damn its fuckin scary once you look down when your on top.

[KAOLgh]

yea

[italiansniper01]

ya it is for the first time. once u do it youll be like wow why couldnt i do that before

[hellhabitat]

the best way to drop in is to get someone to face you and hold there hands so they can support your fall abit

[IKilledTheMetal]

man the only way i dropped in was because some random guys that i din't know were calling me a pussy so i did it haha. It was so scary

[xWardog790]

the only scary part is when u start to drop in and you feel the board go off the coping it feels like you gonna fall

[FrostByte10101]

Why does he keep bailing at then end? I didn't have sound on...

[ToRealProductions]

It was showing what happens when you don't commit.

[metalhead2221]

he was demonstrating

[215dylan]

where is that at?

[malarkycentral]

Ughh...its creepy looking down from the top..yes im afraid lol

[Icerocka400]

I learned how to drop in before i saw this video but my friend is too chicken to try but its not scary

[daanxbox360]

nice :) Tanx.

[jamesuk900]

Say You Drop In On A Four Foot Quarter Pipe. Then You Drop In On A Four Foot Vert Wall. Which Is The Scariest?

[memorybook99]

vert.. just cuz it steeper, but like 4 foot isnt anything :P

[19BN93]

if you can find a 4 foot vert ramp with enough vert to make it scary then please post a video haha :D

[cameop3]

ty this might help me!

[amiriswow]

dude you help me a lot at fist i was very scared. then after a month i got better and better, but how do you get more speed i don,t get that?

[andreschou]

I woukd say bend more the knees in the transition , but not sure .

[warlockgamer123]

you bend your knees its called pumping can be used any time in vert especially dropping in

[treeafodo]

pump!

At the transition bend your legs, and you'll go faster if you do it right, just practice it.

[Give2Get01]

thanx 4 the tips bro, it realy helped me out alot! At first I was kinda scared, but now I can do it with no problem.

[trujon01]

fuck! i wanna do this but it always loooks so sketchy from the top

[andreschou]

yes it does, but just feel the transition and commit, always wear a HELMET! and pads

[WASxBMXxSK8xATM]

yeahh i'm at my grandparent's and they got a bowl with like 3 ft of vert and with the transition it's like 12 feet all together so yeahh this video helped because the most vert i've ever dropped into was like half a foot. thank's guy's!

[darkpord]

i can drop in but i cant get enough speed to get to the other side of the hal pip to get into a rock to fakie, what do i have to do to get speed???

[benw3344]

get better bearings .i recomend bone reds. they are one of the best. and make sure you pump LOADS. speed was my problem but good bearings and puming helped :)

[darkpord]

ok thanks man

[senoirbhamra]

if you lean too forward, won't you fall forwards onto the ramp?

[Doug1145]

Nope.

[belgianreaver]

only if you keep leaning forward when you are down in the pool, if ur still on the vertical part, keep leaning forward, not leaning forward or leaning backward will result in falling backwards from ur board

[stinky472]

Yes! People who learn to drop in on tiny halfpipes without any vert tend to lean forward too much when they try on the vert ramp. What happens then is the usual faceplant. On a smaller halfpipe, you can usually get away with learning forward too much and that's generally safer than not leaning forward enough (ankle twist/ass plant). If you've been skating smaller ramps for quite some time though, you might very well get by with the mentality of not leaning forward very much on a vert ramp.

[AgainstMe777]

thanks! helped alot!

[gilbiiOS]

nice vid really helped

[djdndee]

nice vid m8

[stelladogrocks]

yep! i was an idiot and didnt lean forward enough... oh the pain...

[lucas6377]

nice video man it really helped

[skaterboy4ever1223]

when i first dropped in i did the last thing you just did. fell back 80000 times. but i was a beginner
