    The two keys that helped me were: learning tail stalls first and then, when dropping in, putting my lead shoulder over the nose before pushing my front foot down. Great coaching tips, Sarah!

    • @SarahParkMatott
      @SarahParkMatott  3 года назад +9

      Yeah! Putting your lead shoulder over the nose is similar to grabbing it, just that extra reminder to lean forward. That’s great!!

    dropping in is the most scary thing if have ever done! i have really good board control.i have always been a street skater and never touched a ramp or half pipe in 6 years of skating. can do tre flips, varials, nollie and switch stuff, but dropping in took me MONTHS!
    i had build up so much anxiety that i took it with me into my daily life... only thinking about a drop in caused stress.
    one day i just made the decision that i am gonna do it today! i had enough!
    since i could not ovecome my fear I just kept being afraid until my brain could not produce any of the chemicals any more that cause fear... that was really awefull! i basically fatigued fear.
    i stood for like 3 hours, with breaks in between with my board under my feed on the coping to get used to the feeling...marinating in terror... i am not kidding! heights are not my thing and then putting all your weight into a "fall" felt like a life threating situation.
    at the end i was mentaly completely fatigued to the point where there was nothing left put the present.
    no thought, no emotion.only the sensation of my body and suddenly i did it!
    shows how powerfull the mind is! after that i still was afraid of dropping in but i could overcome it way more easily because now i knew how it felt. first few drop ins did not feel good tho.
    i guess i am a born street skater! i never was this afraid of any ledge or stairset! just feels more natural to me.

    Dropping in on a rollin feels more comfortable because your back wheels are on the ground but in actual fact it is more difficult because your back wheels are on the ground. You have to be very fast yet controlled so the board doesn't start rolling before you touch down but doesn't shift backwards either. I learnt to drop in just like this - worked my way from steep bank, to rollin, to quarter pipe. If you can drop in on a rollin you've got it on a quarter pipe.

    @janefalconer-white8067 3 года назад +23

    For me another intermediate practice step between rolling down on an obstacle (still flat banks for me) and dropping in, is to start in a 50-50 position. You have do a mini turn to move the board so it’s scarier than a roll down, but less scary than the full drop in motion.

    • @SarahParkMatott
      @SarahParkMatott  3 года назад +5

      Oh! That’s an awesome idea Jane! You’re right. That’s a great little in between step.

  • @coolbrotherf127
    @coolbrotherf127 Год назад +8

    For me, starting small and knowing that with my pads on I wasn't really in any danger made it a lot easier to try. The worst that would happen was a small tumble, but as a skateboarder that's just part of the sport.

    Thank you Sarah. Did mine first 4 foot qtr ramp today. Your video is extremely helpful. Took me 5 sequential days of practice from baby banks, to bigger and bigger banks, to a two foot mini ramp, 3 feet. Finally gained the skills needed for me to "commit". Bodied twice helped with my success on my third try. And, yes, Gravity hurts.

      Also if you don't have any slight ramps you can bring a friend and hold on to their hands going down and then one hand and then eventually no hands with them there in case you fall

  • @JahCoMusic
    @JahCoMusic 6 месяцев назад +1

    Great video and tips on progression. You may have conquered this by now, but one think I see is that when you drop in your arms go flying up and backward. You want everything going forward throughout the drop-in. Hands out in front of like driving a car or bike. Have them fly up and back makes it more difficult to keep your weight forward, arms weight a lot.
    Also, when your arms go up you tend to stand up straighter. It will feel much more stable if you stay low throughout the drop in.
    1) stay low with bent knees, 2) keep both hands out front and low.

  • @SuperOpposum
    @SuperOpposum 3 года назад +12

    I did those exact steps last week for an entire session and was able to drop in at the end of the day, so first hand I can recommend doing this!
    Also, when you feel comfortable with the bigger banks, taking a video of yourself doing it can really boost confidence, seeing that my technique was good made me feel much better

    Once you get good at dropping in you can control your speed on entry a lot more too. You can drop in slowly without sliding out backwards, to enter with low speed. Or you can stand up as tall as possible, and tuck in as you push down with your front foot and drop in with loads of speed. I love this variance in dropping in. But it comes with confidence and control so it can take a while to get to that point.

    @aneel1088 3 года назад +2

    Have waited for a few months myself before starting the process of learning to drop in. Really like the method you present in this video. Tried it today just on some inclines and slopes. It wasn't until I brought the trucks closer and closer to the edge, until the wheels were right on the edge that I almost ate concrete. Really lost my nerve and couldn't do it anymore. Then I rewatched your video and am feeling relieved after you said not to rush it. Will try again another session and just repeat and keep moving on to higher ramps. As always thank you for your insights!

    • @SarahParkMatott
      @SarahParkMatott  3 года назад +1

      Totally! It takes everyone a different amount of time to feel comfortable dropping in! And just warming up and "dropping in" as much as you can on all the inclines that you can will help you build up that confidence over time! :D No need to rush. I'm glad you're still motivated to keep trying! 💪 You'll definitely get it.

    great video!! so happy for your journey with dropping in , thank you for sharing it ~ all bits i've learnt so far in skating and am actually consistent with was through breaking it down into mini steps as well and practicing my way from the smallest to the biggest until i got really used to it and it was fine :) i'm sure it'll work well for dropping in, too! and i totally agree that building confidence until ready is so much more sustainable than just committing terrified.

      Thank you! Yes, I think we (skaters) are often in a rush because we want to progress quickly, but I find myself progressing faster when I take it slow.

    My local park has some mellow slopes which I have been able to drop in on. The biggest slope I can ride down but every time I have tried dropping in, the angle makes my back wheels move before I can slam my nose down. As for the tiny half pipe ramps I fall when trying to ride from the bottom. They feel so different to the slopes.

    Hey, when I was 18 I could drop in on a 5ft wooden quarterpipe. Now that I'm 45 it scares the hell out of me. I just left my local skate park where I busted my a$$ twice in an attempt to drop in on a 3ft concrete half pipe. I didn't try again and now I'm feeling the pain of defeat. I gotta get this.

    I work at a skatepark and i tell all the kids that come in when they want to learn to drop in for the first time to go and try it on the smallest bank we have before dropping in on the real stuff we have, i almost broke my tailbone the first time i ever dropped in, i could have used a coach like you when i was starting out, would have saved me alot of pain! Where was that skatepark in the video located? that looks like a nice spot to shred

    bruh, I had a perfect chance to do a half pipe tried to commit immediately but in my head I was just so terrified , I even tried dropping In on a slope that was 5 inches smaller and I even got as high as the corner slope of the half pipe but I had more fear than confidence and I bailed most the time, instead of building up I'm used to just DOING IT, JUST DO IT, until I actually do it but this time I just couldn't and won't home feeling completely let down in myself but I'm going to take on your advise and work my way up.

    you skate better than me. You are ready to start skating that bowl behind that 1/4 pipe which I find easier to drop into than small 1/4 pipes. just squat down a little more get your chin out over the nose of your board and dive into the bowl keeping your shoulders parallel with the wall. may want to learn how to pump the transitions first though

    • @SarahParkMatott
      @SarahParkMatott  3 года назад

      Haha I appreciate the confidence you have in me! But the bowl behind me is 6 feet or more I think, way too high for me still. I did try to work on pumping in that bowl. But it is really narrow and has super rough ground on the bottom. It isn't exactly beginner friendly 😂 I'm not going to give up though, since transition looks so fun. Trying to find some transition locally I can use 😃

    • @SarahParkMatott

      I can relate to having a local park without a lot in it to help with transition. I've moved a lot the last few years, and it's always luck of the draw with parks. My new local park only has transition over 5ft. 🤦‍♀️ Won't be dropping in again for a while haha But, you'll definitely get there. If you're brave enough to try 3 more times after eating it, nothing can stop you with some practice 💪

    5:41 no coping is kinda scarier to me?? haha Maybe it's all in my head but it feels like the coping keeps the trucks stable. I've dropped in at 2 ft which was the smallest mini ramp they had and once I got the hang of it it was not scary. But then 3 ft was still nope for me. :') It really is totally psychological since the technique is the same. Anyway, these are great tips. Dropping in on banks and curbs and other places helps a lot to get comfortable.

    • @SarahParkMatott
      @SarahParkMatott  3 года назад

      You know what? I think so too. Without coping it kind of feels like you might slip down..and I did once. I can't believe I dropped in on that 😂 Unfortunately, that big quarter (I think it might be 4 or 5ft) was the smallest one. So, it is 100% psychological. Just working and working on the smaller ramps built up my confidence more than anything. It's really a confidence building exercise that I described here 😂 And doing them right after one another helped a lot. The next time I went I dropped in on the smaller stuff again first. It really helped. I'm sure you'll be able to move up to that 3' when you feel more comfortable and confident!!💪

    Skatepark designer: "this park isn't for beginners, we're going to make every quarter 5 ft and higher."
    Been to so many skateparks where there is no transition in quarter pipe heights. They'll have a 2ft and then straight to a 6 ft bowl.

    • @SarahParkMatott

    • @donovanhays
      @donovanhays 2 года назад +1

      @@SarahParkMatott I recently learned how to pump really well and it has really helped me get used to different sized quarter pipes. If there is a mini ramp, half pipe, or just 2 quarters across from each other that are close enough I can pump up and get used to getting up to the coping on taller stuff that I wouldn't drop in on. It's not the same as dropping in of course but it has helped me get better at transitions and making sure my weight placement is correct. Skating towards a quarter and rolling down fakie doesn't really help with dropping in but if you can roll into another quarter fakie then when you come back down you're riding the same way you'd drop in. Pumping back and forth allows you to get more practice getting the feel for how to have your weight distributed and where to have your body when you're going down a quarter. I was way better at going down quarter pipes fakie than I was regular because you get so much more practice going that way.
