there are 3 ways to do it, frontside, backside, and acid drop (when you go straight at it instead of an angle) I do them more acid drop, so perpendicular into it. Its like jumping off a curb, you need to wait for your back wheels to go over the coping, while you are lifting your front truck. As soon as you know you are over, you gotta push your front foot down like you are dropping in, while also making your body go sideways.. again just like dropping in. If you want to do it frontside or backside, you can let your trick do a little grind as you go in. This is a do or die trick, you are not running out of this one. Try on something small like 2 or 3 foot quarter. Or you can practice doing them on pyramids or banks by lifting your truck and waiting for your truck to go over the edge then smacking it down. omar hassan gives it to you straight [VIDEO]
