HOW TO DROP IN FOR BEGINNERS STEP BY STEP | THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL

[@4-Sight-Skating]

Once u commit to dropping in u won't understand what u were afraid of. The only trick to it is actual commitment... gotta know u got it...

[@brailleskateboarding]

Yes, I also recommend starting small to help you be able to commit and then increasing your confidence up to Vert Ramp level. cough cough Gabe

[@4-Sight-Skating]

@@brailleskateboarding I've been teaching my son how to skate for almost a year now and he started on mini ramps and is getting better at drop ins. Thx for the reply. It's awesome how much u guys interact with the skateboarding community. U give us inspiration and show the right attitude at the same time... braille gives the 4-sight crew a lot of inspiration... thx for being awesome guys!!!

Bro a whole year of me trying to find a way to learn how to drop in and now this video got me to drop in thanks braille

[@brailleskateboarding]

Glad I could help

[@LostintheHate]

I did it first try 3 / 3 but the second time around to the skatepark i couldnt do it 0/2

[@jorge7463]

Ive been skating for about 2 years now. Im comfortable hitting stair sets, skating ledges, rails, gaps, and down rails as well. My flat ground tricks aren’t super impressive, but i have all the basics on lock, but i’ve haven’t tried to drop in since my very first attempt. The first time i tried to drop in, I dislocated my shoulder (wild, i know) so i put off learning it, but recently ive been meaning to learn how to do it. I watched this video yesterday and tried to drop in today at the park, and i FINALLY DID IT!! This video REALLY helped me, Thanks guys!!

[@alguien11582]

the first time i tried i hit my knee on smth idk if it was my board or my friends leg but a huge bump instantly formed. i kept skating but now i'm scared so i'm watching this to learn

[@Fall2Caine]

Funny thing is i can do things like kickflips pop-shoves, variable heel flips, primos, etc... but two things ive never been able to do is an ollie (with the except of a chinese ollie as its called in the san franciso bay area) and dropping in

[@illusions3272]

You can do it! Just believe!

[@lestergartland9447]

What in the world is a Chinese Ollie?

[@Fall2Caine]

@@lestergartland9447 aaron explained it a handful of years ago in a video, ironically where i picked up the term, essentially its a manual but you bump a curb to ollie instead of actually popping the board up into the air

[@lestergartland9447]

@@Fall2Caine Ah ok! That actually sounds more difficult than a regular Ollie 😅

[@Subieghost]

​@J I'm curious too since a kickflip is just an ollie with another step

[@SupremeSkaterGator]

I just started back skating like 5 weeks now and i cranked ramps today for the first time its really true you have to be completely comfortable and just focus on the board become one with the board🧘🏾‍♂️

[@kitosback]

I never had any confidence to even try until my friend kept trying and did it (at the time he only got the board the day before) so that made me wanna do it, my friends held my hands at first then eventually gained more confidence to try to do it on my own and my only problem was that I kept jumping off instead of committing properly, eventually I could kind of do it but not really. My friend suggested to put my foot on the bolts and just go for it and I did. I didn't fall, I didn't bail, I had actually done it. This was today :) 03/10/22

[@nickbell6435]

Picking up skating again after a 20+ year break as my son is getting into it. I will conquer dropping in this time! If not, will be a funny phone call to work when I explain how I broke my arm and can’t come into work 😂

[@onefinsurfer]

Thanks man I turned 61 in January and thought it was time to get the drop in down thanks for taking the time this was a worker

[@faron5566]

I dropped in for the first time ever today and did a blunt fakie nosegrab it was crazy thank you so much dude you the king

Learning how to skate with Aaron, kinda brings me that feeling that I now have a mentor, and kind of a skate dad, it's the fact that he teaches as a pro skater

[@brailleskateboarding]

Thank you for that, I am glad that is how it comes across!

[@dodevoeten]

This was the first thing I tried and successfully landed this summer after 10 years of not skating. ... The second attempt I finally noticed what 10 years of living relatively gravity free does to your reflexes. My chin still hurts some days 🤣

Oh my gosh haha

[@AndrewPekeuronehelluvanoob91]

I can 100% relate to this. was big into skating in high school then kinda forgot about it for 10+ years now I have colleagues at work who skate and are encouraging me to join. Always did flat land stuff, now at 32 this old dog is gonna be learning new tricks!

[@PrincessSakuno]

Hey Aaron I'm so glad you're still the face of Braille skateboarding, I came across your channel about 7 or 8 years ago when I was in my late high school years but I was too self conscious and nervous to do skateboarding myself in broad daylight, at the skatepark, due to all sorts of reasons. But there was a period I was absolutely obessed and would binge watch alotta skateboarding compilations and ofc Brailles how to videos lol. Im 25 now and I've outgrown that shell now and I think I'm gonna try work on this hobby actively! I realised if you just keep dreaming you want to do something, time just passes, you need to actually do it to live it!

I’ve been skating for a couple of months now and I fell a couple of weeks ago which made me stop skating for a couple of days and I can’t only push and now I’m trying to drop in and this video help a lot thanks braille skateboarding for helping me learn love y’all ❤

[@jacobseraphin685]

3:57 I fractured my jaw trying to go down just a ramp. Unfortunately I did let it slow me down from skating but I’m willing to give it another try even if I do get hurt again. Obviously I’m new at skating which is embarrassing to admit.

[@robc7311]

Love you videos! Once my foot and shoulder heal from my last drop in attempt, I’ll be giving your method a try. Wish this OG (old guy, 54yrs old) luck. 😂

[@mirkossj]

did you do it already?

[@musclecarfan74]

I learned to drop in on a 7ft. mini spine ramp, trying to drop in 50-50 as I thought it was easier. When I did it regular and conquered my fear I did it, and everyone was cheering for me. that was about 30 yrs. ago. I never did learn any ramp tricks. The longer you hesitate the more fear you will have. I used to just put my board in position and just go.

[@xylexut2589]

I learned by falling 5 or 6 times as I went down. Somehow didn't break any bones but I'm still afraid to do any coping tricks yet because I don't have any mellow mini ramps by me. Nothing but bmx parks with 6 ft half pipes or single quarterpipes that lead to asphalt if I fall backwards and get scraped up.

[@andrewbowers8477]

When I was like 13 I tried dropping in on a 3ft mini and over committed. I went forward and took the flat straight to the face. Drop ins are on my list this year to conquer.

[@reaver7974]

ive been comfortable on long boards for a while but this is the 2nd time ever riding a normal board and first time at a park and I dropped in on a 4 foot and I now am very into skating. I'm going to a park tomorrow and I will inform you of my progress

[@chaosoul-seanleeriggs369]

Same. Gabe's fear of the vert ramp is exactly my fear, of just the mini-ramp! My first experience with a 4ft-5ft qtr pipe was immediately met with seven staples in the back of my head (because no helmet or pads)! Since then (summer 1995) I've just accepted that some people are designed and meant to do certain things and others can do the others! Ledges, rails, stairs, hips, launch ramps, curbs, and very small transitions with even smaller verts (if at all) are just fine and perfect for me personally, lol 👀😆😂

[@TheyAdoreWill]

bruh literally all it took was this video😭 for the longest i couldnt but starting on the small ramp helped alot for me

I started back recently, I transitioned at 12 to motorcoss and used to I had learned how to skate vert ramps and so much more by the age of 12. This weekend on my first day back I skated off the half pipe with a rolling start and I'm now very comfortable on day two transitioning from flat to ramp but two times I've tried to just drop in I've basically shoulder planted the concrete and I'm not sure what's going on but it feels like at the bottom I'm coming to an abrupt stop. So I'm wondering are my trucks maybe so loose that I'm contacting the board and loosing my momentum at the apex or just leaning two far forward? I'm 27 now so id like to fall down as little as possible as it hurts a lot worse than when I was a kid

[@idontgetscared]

Maybe I need a new body?
