Drop In

Starting up on the deck with your back wheel on the coping, then committing forward down the ramp.

Can you do it?

The lowdown

Starting up on the deck with your back wheel on the coping, then committing forward down the ramp. It is over in a second.

Fun fact

Once you can drop in you can use every ramp in the park instead of riding around them.

Tips

Small hop off the back wheel so both wheels land flat on the transition, and get your weight forward. Leaning back is the one thing that puts you down.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

  1. Leaning back as you go over. Lean your head and chest into the ramp; leaning away is what tips you onto your back.

  2. Rolling in too slowly. Put a solid crank in on the deck so you reach the coping with balance to spare.

  3. Approaching exactly parallel to the coping. Come in at a slight angle so your tyre cannot catch in the groove behind the coping.

  4. First go with nobody watching. Once you tip in you cannot step out, so have someone there for the first few on a small ramp.

Why it's Easy: Your bunny hop already gets both wheels off the ground. What is new is committing to a slope you cannot stop on, which is a nerve skill more than a bike skill.
