Can you do it?

The lowdown

Roll straight off the edge of a ledge, a step or a ramp lip and land with both wheels touching down at the same moment.

Fun fact

Landing both wheels together is the whole trick. Nose first is how wrists and bars get hurt, so the height goes up slowly.

Tips

Start off something knee high. Weight centred, knees soft. Leaning back is what makes the front end kick up on landing.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

Leaning back off the edge. Keep your weight centred so the front wheel does not kick up on landing.
Rolling off at a crawl. A little speed carries both wheels off together.
Straight legs on landing. Bend your knees as you touch so the drop is absorbed, not felt.
Looking at the edge. Look at the landing spot before you roll off.

Difficulty 2 of 5

Why it's Easy: There is no hop in it, but there is no way to stop once the front wheel leaves. That commitment is why it is Easy and not Rookie, and why someone should be around.
