Ledge Drop

You roll straight off the edge of a kerb or low ledge and land on both skates. It is the first time your wheels leave a street obstacle, and every gap starts here.

1. Pick

   Choose a kerb or a low, smooth ledge with clear ground beyond it.

   CueKerb first

2. Roll

   Roll at a steady pace, knees bent, one skate slightly ahead.

3. Drop

   Let both skates roll off together without jumping.

   CueRoll, do not hop

4. Land

   Bend your knees as you land and roll away.

   ThenBend your knees as the wheels touch and keep rolling away.
