I remember being 14 and the old dog at the park told me “be like tucan sam and follow your nose”. I dropped in and immediately hit the concrete. This is better advice.
Mitchie is the man. This video is so spot on. He is describing every issue I've gone through to advance. 49 here. I began to skate again at 47! Hadn't done it in 27 years. It's a blast, find a group and keep with it.
@@ericharmon7163luckily I found a skatepark nearby that has lessons for adults and have found a great group there (actually just came back from there now) and was actually able to use this lesson to drop in on a ramp.
He has the best break downs by far. I'm 39 and 6 months in my skate journey and dropping in has always been my biggest fears but his breakdown helps so much more than just slam it down
Practiced the curb drop ins today and instantly made dropping in on banks more comfortable. Still working on the courage to drop in on a quarter pipe 😬
I like how he mentions in the first part getting your front down "hard" is good up to 6 foot transitions. That is exactly correct. I felt good up to 6 foot drop ins. At 6 foot it would begin to feel sketchy. So I used his advice to be softer on the front. Now 6 foot feels fine. Im still trying to get up the nerve to go bigger. But its getting there.
Totally agree! I still feel like I'm about to go down a 90 degree wall all the way on anything that approaches vert, or really anything above 6 ft. It just feels unreal that you can ride down really big stuff and not go into a free fall..
@@petterbergmar7716absolutely. Does make sense when he explains it, but once you stand "up there" it seems like the most impossible thing ever and I can't shake off the feeling of being about to bellyflop into the flatbottom. I hope I can muster the courage to get over this thought...
Thanks so much for this man, couldn't have come at a better time! Just started following your content about a month ago, and have been itching to try dropping in after fooling around with rolling in and finally making it out of quarter pipes and landing it a week ago.
Outstanding module. As a relative beginner, I found the bank drop in to be the best place to get the feel of keeping weight in both feet through the drop in
Dropping steadily taller and more vertical transitions. You’ve helped me conquer goals that seemed beyond reality for an older skater just a month ago. Ongoing Thx!
At a time where mom's are taking kids away from their dad's or kids that don't have their dad's in their lives you're being the best skate dad in the world. Even for me that hasn't spoken to my father in years, you make me feel like I could do anything on a skateboard like my dad made me feel when I was a kid. Thanks so much for these lessons.
I’ve never seen someone teach the basics of dropping in while standing on a small curb. But it’s brilliant! Still yet to drop in on vert though. Maybe for my 50th next year 😂
Really well explained and taught clearly! This completely demystifies an nearly inescapable and almost unlovable state...maneuver. I don't want to call it a trick because I WANT to learn tricks. You are a really good teacher!
I learned how to drop in again after 15 years of not doing it. Not a high quarter pipe but still it's a drop in. I found out I was sticking my butt out more than anything which kept my weight half outside. Had someone point it out and told me to straighten it and printed in trying to pull weeds with my other hand.
Can you make a video on skate health and recovering from skate injuries? I recently broke my foot, Jones fracture, and know I will not be skating hard for 3 to 4 months. There's not a lot of info on the web, or from my doctors, on skating specifically. How long should I wait, how slowly should I come back, what kind of exercises should I do, etc. I broke my popping foot so I considered coming back and focusing on skating switch to not overload the foot with popping, scooping, and other tail pressure. Plus I always feel like I land harder on my back foot when I need to bail, hence the broken foot which did happen while skating.
Been rewatching this video countless times since its release. Been waiting for such an in depth tutorial for a long time. Thnaks a lot!!! At 41:30 and at 45:30 as you drop in on the vert part, I noticed that you (at least it seems/looks to me thst way) don't just lean over/tip forward, but actively bend your knees and hip quite a bit during the dropping in motion until you hit the transition but you say we should just tip over. Sorry, I might not get it or see it wrong, but isn it really just tipping over or should I actively bend my knees and hip (but that is just what's killing my speed on medium transitions, just as you mentioned in that respective part of this video), so I'm slightly confused. Maybe you can give me some advice as I am kinda lost at that point. Thank you! You're such a great teacher, admirable!!
Just watching you during this video I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about dropping in. I know it's something I have to master but God does it terrify me.
Hi Mitchie! Fantastic videos! But I've always wanted to ask you about your drop-in. You allow the wheels to engage the ramp quite a bit before you plant the wheels, which is really scary to me because that's what I was doing wrong in my first attempts (and it seems a lot of beginners do this). Now I keep the tail pinned (but don't slam the front wheels). What do we have to do to make a Mitchie-style drop-in safe? Is it that it's automatically safe if you are in the "riding 100% on the front trucks" position?
Amazing! In an earlier video, you talked about shifting your hips from being over your back foot to over the center of the board to initiate the drop. You seem to be conceptualizing the process a bit differently here and I'm just curious if there is a reason for the shift, pun intended ;-)
Not a beginner but this is how I'm gonna learn how to switch drop cause last time I tried I ate shit and busted my elbow

Putting slight pressure on the front foot sometimes makes the board start rolling down the transition since it makes the back wheels come in contact with the ramp. Why does this happen?
Really good stuff fam. Thanks "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ." 1 Corinthians 12:12 KJV
man seems like we lost the good original skateiq content with in-depth trick breakdowns, interviews of pros and walkthroughs to be spammed with basics/drop in videos

I totally agree - me 52, my spouse 48, looking and learning by the best. Brusco is the man!

Great timing, I just sprained my ankle trying to drop in a couple of days ago 😭 Gonna study this rq

At 65 years old. Been skating for about one year. Loving these tutorials. Thanks for sharing

Thanks!
This video is gold! Also, didn't expect to see my clip at 42:59 😄

Ur the goat! Great video keep it up👊❤️
Looks at the roads and skatepark full of ice and salt: Oh
I dropped in on vert once. It took me thirty minutes to stop shaking
Thanks again, Professor. We (I) would love a video as long as this about axle stall drop in!
Thanks Mitchie. What a great masterclass! I understood so much about my mistakes with your explanation.
Thank You I've been waiting for this video a lot and needed it!
This came out just when I needed, I just fell a couple times, thank you btw, this videos are amazing
I slammed hard twice on Friday, made me question my reality lol, got to get this somehow
Best tutorial thanks

Thanks sir😊
Nice. Thank you for this!
THANK YOU!!! THAAAAANK YOU!!!
I can already drop in but this will be a good watch to improve
I think it's hard to take controll of the speed. But from this video with the feedback to the backfoot i fell that was the last key.
Just watching you during this video I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about dropping in. I know it's something I have to master but God does it terrify me.

THANK YOUUUUU
What was the insert footage at 32:09 supposed to be showing in regards to what was being said? 😵💫
How exactly are you supposed to put your chest over the front bolts but also keep your shoulders parallel?? 🤔
Battered and bruised, but still in it to win it. I'm listening...
I need tips on how to Slash steep transitions like pool shallow ends
Amazing! In an earlier video, you talked about shifting your hips from being over your back foot to over the center of the board to initiate the drop. You seem to be conceptualizing the process a bit differently here and I'm just curious if there is a reason for the shift, pun intended ;-)

Putting slight pressure on the front foot sometimes makes the board start rolling down the transition since it makes the back wheels come in contact with the ramp. Why does this happen?
I will probably never drop in, its just 2 scary. To me all ramps are huge!

Really good stuff fam. Thanks

Nah I think he’s just making a series of long form videos about the basics then maybe after covering it all he’s go back to it
