LANCE LIVE SKATE SUPPORT DROPPING IN

[@SmartDumbNerdyCool]

When you're up there looking down, it looks so much steeper.

[@Commander_Cat]

yeah the thing is we see the up here and the down there but we don't see the transition from the side while we are standing on top. I got to remember there's a nice fun slide that will bring me down (safely?).

[@lonniehill8797]

Yes literally i stood at the bottom of the half pipe ( barely anybody goes to my park because it is a small town) and im like this inst tall then i got on top and went NOPE

[@DanielKorgel]

I was in the same position. But if you commit and do it again and again, at some point the ramps will look taller from the bottom than from the top. At least that's for me. Sometimes, when I drop a 4 foot, quite steep, ramp I look at it from the bottom and I'm surprised that I can drop *that*. I'm still in the transition, of building enough confidence to drop anything taller than that, though

[@uhhyo3366]

i dropped in but not a steep ramp yet because i was at my house and my house has a driveway but, i didn’t commit and I did fall but after that i never fell.

[@ThunderBlunt4200]

So true man

[@KyleKick909]

i was teaching a friend how to drop in and told him you gotta lean forward. after about 3 weeks of him chickening out, he finally decided to do it because his sister dropped in on the 6 footer and only took her about 6 minutes to get the courage. he felt he had to redeem himself so instead of doing it on the 3, 4, or 6 foot ramp he went to the 8 footer that had about 3 feet of vert. he leaned so far forward that he did a nose manual down the ramp and did a full body slam.

[@justforthetv]

[@MRREE-zw6xc]

So true

[@luiza177music]

Lance skate supports are the best thing braille came up with. That said, I think the easiest way to learn to drop in is to have a friend lend a hand.. literally. After a couple times you can do it by yourself easily. That's how I learned.

[@luiza177music]

I hear ya. Aaron's steps in SMS4 are the next best thing to it, gradients are the way to go.

[@luiza177music]

I've seen quite a few guys helping each other out learning to drop in like that at the park. Nothing wrong with it. One has to be pretty insecure in their sexuality, if they can't hold another's hand for a second to help them out.

[@luiza177music]

Indeed, however, many injuries can be easily avoided. So I see no shame in getting help and/or wearing pads, etc.

[@harryblackwell1666]

luiza177music I agree when you first learn to drop in where safety gear if you want.

[@ki11bunny]

NEXT Well I have seen people being taught like that at my local park. It really is the easiest way to teach someone that doesn't really skate. I see no shame in learning like that at all. Yes you're gonna get hurt while skating but if you can avoid them best to do that. I've broke/fractured ankles wrists fingers toes and even pop my shoulder between my ribs(which really fucking hurt), if you can get away without doing any of that better for you in the long run.

The support from all the people there is pretty amazing, we've made lots of friends already.

I like how completely honest with Lance that Aaron was about the dangers though, that's a good teacher right there.

[@LookingGlass363]

eh all it did was scare him. If someone told me I mess up I am in serious danger it would make it not want to do it.

[@johnferreira9857]

Good Street skater, maybe not so good vert teacher. This is a whole different type of world. 1.) This is vert. Wear protection. Helmet, pads etc. not only that it protects you like the pros use but it gives you balls and confidence!

[@johnferreira9857]

2.) It's not just leaning your weight forward and slapping the board down. It's about the correct body positioning and techniques just like doing a setup for a street trick. When you about to drop in put your back foot on the tail and your front foot or the front bolts. Compress and lean into it. Focus more on your foot positioning and look at the front of your board then the bottom of the pool. If you look at the vert transition and the bottom your mind will freak out on you. It's all muscle memory mental and practice getting down the right technique and fundamentals. Once you can do a little one the big one is the same thing. Be safe

[@squash2097]

@@johnferreira9857 thanks man !

[@kenparsons7254]

As a returning skater (stopped at 17 and picking it back up at 44), this was incredibly helpful in mentally preparing to drop-in again. Thank you for your insistence on basic principles to follow, helps when I'm staring down the quarter pipe.

[@roga6037]

i love these videos cuz he’s not only teaching the people in the video, but he’s also teaching us.

[@Man_Lantern_Skateboards]

You should start from the bottom and do kickturns and little grinds for a while before you drop in. It gives you a feel for the transition. After that dropping in comes naturally.

[@scheisstag]

Dude, you are totally right: thats the way to do it. Maybe combined with a good set of protectors, to build confidence. I learned it the hard way: If you feel REALLY scared, than often for a reason: because you just put yourself in REAL danger. And the way to do it is not to force yourself to ignore that, but to trust your instincts and find easier learning step until there is no barrier any more, but just a smoth improvement over several steps. I learned to drop in on a real halfpipe. The highest available in town. And I live in a 3,5 Million inhabitans city. Around 3 meters in total, with a ladder to climb up and with about one first vertical meter. On my first day in a skatepark at all. Without any warm up or riding the halfpipe ever, but with inliners, which makes it a lot easier than on a board. My only preperation was that I played ice hockey and in summer we trained sometimes with inliners. My friends have been professional skate boarders. And they just wanted to scare the shit out of me and told me the best way to learn it would be to just do it, like jump from 10 meter into water. I guess with the expactation, that I would chicken out for sure and would be forced to climb down the ladder humbled. I did it and landed it on the first try. They were impressed indeed. But later that day I dislocated my shoulder on the same ramp. And got a swelling at my hip with about half a liter of fluid inside. The swelling was so big, the skin seperated for all times from my body and looked like a saggy tit for about four years and is still visible today. Now, eight years later, I have to undergo another surgery for the shoulder. With slim chances on improvment. And if there is no improvment, than my only sport in life will be watching this clips.....

Am loving these Lance Live Skate Support series - I can totally emphasize with him that fear of standing up the top the moment before dropping in... it's awesome having Aaron demonstrate first and then Lance's go - it feels as though I'm actually there watching it and participating too! Glad he made it out alive, looking forward to seeing more of these videos!!

[@gagesmith-ingodwerock]

It motivates me to practice more when I see professionals learning new tricks!

[@alexrulz911]

you have to slam your front wheels down before gravity pulls the whole board down, faster than you would freefall. i bend my knees alot more, which helps me balance plus i get a huge pump out of it. of course that might not do any good on a mini ramp, the bowl im used to is like 6' i think. i had the opposite problem as lance though, i leaned too far forward and face slammed alot.

[@subramanianannamalai8333]

Great video, shows what are the fears/difficulties one has to overcome before doing the first drop in. Usually we think it is easy when a pro does it, but mistakes are what I am looking for which is clearly shown here.

[@dech7745]

Why no pads/helmet? - builds confidence for a fall to be minor

[@snagle45]

when I was 14 I dropped in on a 5 ft. quarter pipe my buddy's dad built. We didn't know anything about leaning that far forward. I slipped right up at the lip and slammed my back right on the coping. Its because I didn't' commit to it. I'm 25 now and over all these years of skating that is the one bail I can remember. I thought I broke my back for real. I couldn't breathe and my arms and legs were tingling. Aaron isn't kidding when he says this is dangerous. I'm actually surprised Lance didn't fall backward. He was actually lucky to get away with it as many times as he did.

[@tannerhatten1070]

Well I was about to fully commit to this until I read this...

[@TheGreatestLemon]

Sam Henry when I first learned to drop in that’s the thing I was most scared of, but ended up slamming on my hip every time lol

[@patrikleander8872]

I've not yet seen the whole video so I don't know if they have adressed this, but there is one thing I noticed. Aaron and others lean forward and down for a while before moving any weight on the front foot and slamming it down. If you just try to lean forward and slam your board down, you will be slamming it too soon and you will straighten your legs and fall. So lean forward and down before the board even starts to move. It is like it is lagging behind. Then you can land your board on the ramp with bent legs, making it easier to keep your balance.

[@shaunbang]

I love skateboarding and as I am now 25 and havent been actively filming or skating with friends for nearly a decade now some recent events that hit me personally has given me the final push to get on my board starting from getting back into the scene with videos like braille and berrics to my dear friend that i skated with every day when we all skated passing away. he passed away this exact day last year in 2016. His names was Darrin Joe and he is in almost all of my skate part edits. Darrin was one of the best in our group and like most of us, we lost our connection to skating while growing up. Darrin passed away and watching his old parts I made really got me feeling nostalgia and happiness seeing and remembering how much fun we had riding this piece of wood. It made me think about how much more fun we could have had if I was able to skate as well as my friends so I could also participate in games of skate or just go have a sesh without my camera holding me back behind the scenes. In early June, leading up to Darrin's memorial of passing away I entered in Daewon Song's daejavu adidas and almost contest. Darrin's favorite skater was Mikey Taylor because of his part in Skate More and we would always watch and talk about that video part as Darrin literally would only buy AWS Mikey boards and even buy 2 pairs of his DVS pro models, one to skate and one to keep completely flawless and wear only on the most special of occasions. I entered in on the contest not thinking of actually having a chance to win and just so happened to require me to pick a Daewon part and trick that he was redoing a trick on. I used his Skate More intro section of him falling on his tricks as it was a very memorable part and video to me and Darrin since I had a huge fandom to Daewon because of his Korean background while Darrin who is also Korean loved Mikey. We would both laugh so hard at Mikey's intro and Daewon's falling section. I ended up winning the contest winning a free pair of Adidas Daewon colorways and a complete Almost deck during the time I was really missing my friend as his one year anniversary since his passing was coming up. When I realized I won, I had a sudden flashback about the time Darrin and I met Daewon at our local shop, Liberty Boardshop and remembered how stoked we were to see Daewon randomly walk in and finally meeting one of our favorite skaters. Winning the shoes and board had a huge impact on me as it felt like it was such an unforseeable coincidence that I had won the contest from that specific skater using that specific video. A combination of nostalgia and watching videos like Braille's has gifted me with the motivation and will power to skate again. This is when I stumbled across Lance's hardflip landing video, which once again had a huge correlation to my friend who's most memorable trick landed was his hardflip down the Chino 3 block that we weren't even filming, but I just so happened to turn on my camera while sitting down on the four block and captured Darrin's banger with the most lucky angle ever. Darrin was known in our community because of this trick being such a perfect land and we used to think doing any flip trick down a set was the most gnarly achievement. To basically sum up this ridiculously long story, all of these events in the order that they happened and in what nature it was being skateboarding, I felt as if I had an enlightenment or a sign from my dear friend Darrin to get up off my ass and stop moping around being sad about life in general as I have been in a stagnant stage of doing nothing after work and being so inactive both socially and physically. I want to thank Braille and Lance and all those involved in these events that have most likely saved my life from spiraling down into a dark abyss of sorrow and being stuck in the past. I have now decided to re-open my interest in both skating and video production by using my KZbin account that I started back in 2005 when we first started filming and skating. It means the world to me that my channel stays alive as it has all of my memories of skating with my most close friends and especially having the ability to see Darrin whenever I am missing him or thinking about him. I don't know why I am writing this to Braille, but today being his anniversary had me thinking a lot about him and the memories, which I have now committed myself to creating new videos for the sake of keeping my channel up and running for the world to see my will to learn how to skate and hopefully to show the world that didn't know Darrin will watch his skating. I am so very excited to regain my passion of skating and video production. Rest in peace Darrin Joe, I will learn how to do a hardflip and I will do a hardflip down the Chino 3 block by following Aaron's guide to skating and follow along Lance's progression. If anyone wants to be part of this, please feel free to join me on my personal endeavors to honor my late friend and hopefully revive my old times into a modern day version that Darrin would be proud of.

[@milklairs925]

RowingNoob Holding it sideways would be better for short people than mallgrabbing and scraping the board on the ground.

[@milklairs925]

What higher above the ground? The board would scrap against the ground, because skateboards are somewhat tall, holding it sideways would make it level with your arms, while holding it by the wheels would make it stand straight up.

dude!! I was a skater when i was 15 years old, now Im 24 and start skatebarding again, and somehow I learn more seeing Lance skating

[@godtlik5077]

anyone else notice that girl that kept on walking past behind them?😂

[@axi123m]

Wow, what a throwback. A video Gabe was filming without talking.

[@travisturner1692]

Who else saw the babe skater

[@masonrichards2354]

Yaaaa Lance! Doing AMAZING!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

[@guybartlett9587]

I'm 61 and trying to drop in on my concrete 4' ramp, lance is doing exactly what I have done, pussing out.i fell back and hit my helmet really hard, living in the forest in Mexico with no one around, pads and patience.

[@HarounCherif1975]

Have been going to the skatepark a couple of weeks now, but still haven't done any drops in a pipe. Going to train this tomorrow. Wish me luck! :) Thanks for the videos and the skating lessons. I have been your stuf into practice and like it!

[@embarkingolive]

The way I teach people to drop in, is think of focusing your board, but instead of snapping it, you just ride away.

[@benjaminsmith1344]

Lance is the man :D also you Aaron your videos really helps me and makes me what to go skate all day. Haha

[@nudope3799]

the simple term "slam your front wheels down" would have sufficed. "Commit" is a difficult term for someone to understand who isn't fully sure how to execute the move.

[@justforthetv]

Not true. Aaron is telling him what to commit to, and he's not committing to that. He keeps leaning his weight towards the tail. Arron is telling him to commit to putting his weight in the front. So it's really just about getting over the fear and committing to Aaron's pointers :)

[@slotho122]

Lance Skate Support is my bread and butter. I’m a beginner at a similar level as Lance, so everything he learns, I also do learn.

[@enemeriter1205]

I saw Aron seeing that girl hahaha

[@WSkerrettPhotography]

hey Lance, i did it. thank you for giving me the balls to do this. i been putting this up for to long and today I'm going to the Downtown park to drop the big bowl. i did the mini yesterday and the small quoter. i got this bro

[@DIRTYGHETTOKID132]

Get lance to ollie a 3 stair! :D

[@injuriouss]

noah cook I will try to do a 5 stair

[@petersonmasoryde3163]

noah cook Yes

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

This is the best video tutorial I have ever seen. I'm coming very late to skate boarding 30+ and it's terrifying to drop in as u feel like ur gonna die and to be fair I went down a slope and did the thing I shouldn't have done and that was to lean back and boy did I get hurt.

[@anthony-rq9sx]

this was the scariest thing for me

[@dicksmith5634]

I love the live skate supports, if I can watch someone learn a trick in a day I know i can do it aswell

[@brianboe100]

I learned to drop in on my 2nd try

[@JAXON226]

Same

[@zachstull3360]

GrizzlyMC me too but it took me like 5 minutes of standing there staring at the ramp before going for it

[@DesertGoons]

GrizzlyMC Dude me to!

[@devinpelfrey3275]

GrizzlyMC Same

[@lukasbinder2906]

I actually did it on my first try on like a 4 feet quarter,but I stood Luke on there 20 times walking off again xD

[@Airsoft1Army]

I practice dropping in on my neighbors driveways. It's really helpful

[@bigpapa6443]

who else didn't watch the skating at 3:32 to 3:38... be honest. 😂

[@okaylizard8306]

I had to rewind so I could listen to what they said😂

[@alexkvasnikoff6091]

meeee

[@unimaginativeusrname]

And again near the end

[@nicholasleach198]

she walked past like 3 times

[@nickyjennings5610]

I know, they took me-SHE took me by suprise

[@Targanto1]

I like how the "Dropping in" skate support video is the longest skate support videos I have seen on your channel. XD I remember when I was afraid of little 1 foot quarterpipes, now I am dropping in on 8ft nearly vert bowls.

[@el4174]

Lance, Braille needs to hook you up with a helmet dood!

[@DanielS0N609]

Watching Lance do all these support videos is actually very empowering for someone like me. I started skating at like 18, pretty late to begin and get pretty good I feel but now seeing him do it I feel as though I'm still at a good age to atleast get decent

[@howlingmaddmurdock]

Dude I'm learning just now at 44! I wish I was 18 again. You have at least 30 years or more to skate. I have 10. Can I skate at 60? Thats pretty insane but I guess its possible.

[@Testiculon]

Can someone please give that girl some attention. She walks by so "casualy" carrying her board like a pro xD

[@mrkyle316]

seriously

[@tuckerheninger]

I literally just tried dropping in for the first time yesterday, and got a few sketchy tries, and then absolutely 💯 got bodied! Now I've got another few days to heal so I can get bodied again!

[@ElmStreet]

did you go for it again? lol

[@AllenHIGHverson]

who was that chick

[@kyoushitsue1360]

My mom

[@MarinaMachado14]

something I realized is that you have to lean forward before you push your front foot down, that gives a little more security so you don't fall behind

[@SynchroFPS]

Personally I learned how to fall in first. Or as Aaron would put it (1:02) Die

[@djwatsonii875]

Lance = best. I hope your happy and still skating!

[@confucheese]

Wow Aaron, pretty bad idea teaching someone to drop in without any safety equipment like a helmet or elbow pads. One awkward fall back and he could've slammed his head or shattered an elbow or two.

[@QazJer]

+Frederick Abel Yeah this is very dangerous for a new skater. I learned how to drop in on a half pipe about that big on monday, tried it again on wednesday and on I think my 4th attempt i bailed out halfway and landed on my arm. dislocated elbow with a 4 point fracture on the radial head. had surgery yesterday and im looking at 4-6 months recovery. wear a helmet and pads if you are skating transition, the injury is not worth it.

[@alexrulz911]

+Frederick Abel i learned everything without a helmet. as ridiculous as it might sound, wearing a helmet throws me off balance enough that its hard to land simple tricks. also, kneepads restrict my leg movement, plus using your pads to fall is a technique all its own. i guess the lesson is to just start wearing pads when you start skating. i am a fan of wrist guards and elbow pads though. i fall alot, but i catch myself/ hit my arms consistently so, thats what gets banged up.

[@alonsotabares6775]

helmets are for pussies and I've fallen on drop in they don't hurt

[@confucheese]

Alonso Tabares Retarded comment.

[@MephistoKei]

+Alonso Tabares you da man xD

[@megapanka]

bending knees prior and putting the weight on the front trucks is essential, but you should also know when to stretch them on bigger ramps. Its 95 % commitment and just pure guts thought. The seven year olds I've seen drop huge vert ramps... crazy
