My Son Paid The Vert Ramp Dues

[@speedcrewskate]

Glad he's ok! Epic slam. Wrist guards are undefeated. Killian is a legend for this!

[@davejs1671]

Right on Killian!!! No matter the outcome you should be proud of yourself for going for it. 110% you are capable of it. Falling is just part of it and there are those odd slams that just happen. You have been progressing well, don't let this set you back. Heal up and get back up there and do it!!!

[@PressureCracksToHealthySnacks]

hahaha damn killian has some BALLS! Always suck knocking the wind out. I think he just needs to keep his body towards the ramp. He never gets into a squat it seems

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

Strong effort 💪 👌 I'm sure he will get it soon!

[@KeithCanisius]

So brave!

[@tombriggs1000]

Respect!

[@frankiew311]

He said whatever and absolutely crushed fear. That's level 10 Killy and you should be proud little dude. That deserves a months worth of in n out. 😂 Epic fellas. Glad he's OK.

[@SkaterOperator]

His ⚽️🏀⚾️ are bigger than mine. Good on him for trying. 🏆

[@lrdkain]

I’ll say this again, Killi is a MONSTER‼️

Way to conquer your fear🔥🙌

Vert drop-ins are quite subtle because not only you have to slightly compress your body, you also need to allow your board drop in first then your lower body follows through in one fluid motion. Applying force for first-time vert drop-ins is a recipe for disaster

[@WeAreJustWhatever]

SkateIQ does a vert drop in breakdown, but from my experience the drop in compresses straight down instead of a lean forward and stomp it.

[@kevint.5381]

Your latest posts have been Rad..this location is so perfect for learning vert. Wide open and with the different elevations to work your way up.. that drop in is key to the next unlock for you guys. Killian paid the price just then, thats about as bad as that will get..he defined the unknown.. and survived. There are hip pads if he wants to mitigate the risk a little..but my advice is step harder with the front foot, keep that back foot planted in the tail pocket and lean forward..you wanna hear the front wheels hit the transition..if you feel off balance knee slide..also maybe practice knee slides from the top of the ramp without the board until you can do it without putting your hands down.. lean back on the knee slide.. not forwards

That kid has BALLS OF STEEL,FOSHO🎉

[@Grossosux18]

WOW! Brave little dude right there! Stoked that he gave it a go!!

[@michaelcaseykimball]

A little too late but. Focus on grabbing the inside of your front ankle. It will keep you from the natural reaction to catch your fall which throws your body away from the ramp. You will find that you won’t even make it to your ankle but be down there before you know it. Where is this by the way?

[@ProdigalSuns]

Thanks 👍

[@bennyg949]

Ahhhh bugger.... he went out a little and not straight down ( which is the most common mistake of the vert drop in ) Your mind is saying get a little away from the coping, and thats what he did, and it wasnt by much at all... massive repect Killy ... absolutely stoked that you had the guts to go and do it man... Just take time healing, and study this vid, just the initial part, you will nail it next time... get straight back out there Every thing on that drop needs to go down, not out.. That way you also stay compressed through the transition. You got this dude... next try

[@galvanizedgnome]

I'm so pumped poppa Trump won. Let's go
