How to Drop In a Quarter Pipe on Inline Skates | Inline Skating Tips

[@ThirtyandRollin]

NOTE: 1. I would add that your skates should be in a scissor stance as to roll/pump the ramp for stability. 2. You have to drop with confidence, COMITMENT is the key to success!

[@utahmogul]

Loved the video. I was going to say that when you drop in. I noticed that your left foot was forward and your right slightly behind for stability. I think most beginners drop in with both feet together and that's why they get kicked back and land on their bottoms.

[@doormatt76]

I can drop in fine it’s just vert ramps

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@doormatt76 Yep verts are all mental. Just drop in like any other ramp but realize you will go faster.

Thank you so much for this video, me and my little cousin were at the skate park and had no trouble getting up the quarter pipes, but we had no clue how to get down, so we had to slide down the pipes. 😂😂😂

Great tutorial 👏👏👏. One small tip for those who are having trouble overcoming The Fear - skate UP the ramp first. This was a tip given to me by an experienced skater when I was having trouble (for about three months!) finding the confidence to drop in a seven-foot ramp. Standing at the top and staring down wasn't working and I kept bottling out. He suggested skating up and out of the ramp, turning, and IMMEDIATELY dropping back in. It worked. It's almost as if the brain sees that you've just come up the ramp without the world coming to an end and it therefore isn't so much of a threat. The feeling only lasts a few seconds though so you really need to do it straight away upon reaching the top. Skate up and out (even if you have to climb out), turn, drop in.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great way to trick the brain. Thanks!

[@BBLPfan]

I did this last week for the first time in the last 15 years💪 It was really scary. As a kid you don't think that much about what possibly could happen😆 I had more trouble to leave the pipe than to drop in. But everything went fine without falling.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Awesome! Keep it up!

[@amishadowbanned6264]

Yup, I'm back at skating after a 20 year hiatus.

[@chanelliotta8360]

Today is the day I drop in

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Ya!!! Go get after it!

[@letsart6434]

@@chanelliotta8360 how did it go!!!! Are you still blading?

[@DanSanders12]

As a newbie, your adding the right-angled lines to the slo-mo was VERY helpful! A lot of "skating for beginners" instruction forgets that for an experienced skater what seems so natural it doesn't seem saying is often the barrier that newcomers are trying to cross, so your very exaggerated predator pose, and when you drop out of it, really helps me with learning the timing.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Glad it helped and thanks for the comment!

[@Adam-M-]

A guy at the skatepark years ago told me to place both skates on the coping and pretend like you're peeing off a ledge before falling forward. It actually worked when I was first learning on small stuff lol.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Hahaha I like that one!

[@SuperflyJon]

I learned by stepping the back skate into the ramp rather than placing it on the coping and that still feels easier for me. Having your arms out from your side can help with balance. Also make sure not to standup when you exit the ramp as that can make you fall backwards.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yes stepping straight into the ramp can be good for some that have good body awareness.

[@SlayerUK]

Amazing production value dude! Clear, concise, multiple POV's, and additional tips and tricks from your own experience. Gives me confidence to try 1 day :)

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thanks and yes you should give it a shot! It is easier than it looks and once you get it, it opens up a world of freedom!

[@rcppop3090]

Man never find an empty park like that down here in Sacramento!

[@Prince_Charming_1]

Thanks for the great dropping in tutorial. Great advice.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Glad you got something from it.

[@legendaryvegangaming7761]

This is my next goal! I've been blading for a week or two after ~18 years off.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Welcome back! You got this!

[@yetticuda]

Dropping in has become the thing that shouldn’t scare me but does. Broke my tail bone in ‘18 right after I started again. On a 3 foot mini bowl. I’ve dropped in on all sorts of ramps in my day. But after that it’s become a mental barrier.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I feel ya. Whenever you get hurt on something the mind game sets in. You will overcome that fear again.

[@emrahozdemir293]

Best explanation for the ramps! I wish someone explain difference for urban skates instead of aggresive ones :)

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Same thing just place the coping in-between wheels 2 and 3.

[@DanSanders12]

Same question, but for 3x110s? Or should I not even be trying ramps in my bigger wheeled cruisers?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@DanSanders12 I would stick with a smaller 4 wheel setup to start.

[@Chovies01]

Watching people drop in with both feet in the coping wigs me the hell out, i taught myself by only using my left foot on the coping and keeping my right in the air until i start moving down Funny how it different methods get stuck

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Ya that's a good method as well. Just adds the off chance of clipping the coping as you lean into the ramp and throwing a beginner off.

[@InlineStruggle]

Great video. Beautiful as always 👊🏻

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Appreciate it!

[@jjiimmyjin]

awesome explanation! thank you!

Awesome explanation, thanks man. 💪

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[@lockdownlife9517]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm getting back into aggressive inline skating. I just bought some RollerBlade Blank. How tight should I tighten them? They have two laces on each boot and two straps 😂

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Just till they feel snug. You can always adjust as you roll and heat up the liner.

[@rempage]

@ThirtyandRollin can you recommend the brand of back crash pads that you mentioned in this video? Thanks

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I use Bodyprox.

[@rickyrichreacts9667]

Do you recommend kinda jumping into it? Instead of touching the coping just jump in.. that helps with me but sometimes it throws me off lol

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yes if you are confident and trying to get more speed.

[@loicerp927]

And remember that you have to commit! If you don't, you will fall on you arse. I knew this few weeks ago when I tried my first ramp (about 70cm in a kid park :D) but I didn't commit and I fell. Second try, I knew it by experience then, but still not commit and fell because god, it was scary :D But 2 falls and no hurt at all, so i commited the third try and it worked! The more you fear, the more you'll fall. But hell, when you up there, it's easier said than done ^^ Just seing your video when you film in pov made me flinch, I'm too much a coward for that kind of ramp I think :D

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Excellent point that I should have drove home. You must COMMIT!

[@RFakaWRXringland]

how do I get up and out? I blew my knee and want tips before trying again in a few months. Just want to know how to ride up and land on the deck safely. Not land back in transition if that makes sense. Thanks

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Speed. You should start by pumping around in bowls and getting out before dropping in.

[@km666]

Lean forward. Repeat.

[@mean78mashine]

[@letsart6434]

I want to learn this. But the thought of actually doing it makes me literally nauseous

[@becomebrightwithin]

Whoa.... these are some serious future goals!! But first... just not look like a jackass skating LOL

[@TheyAreNotAllDrones]

Step 1: buy a skateboard

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Got one 😁
