Nice. You keep your weight in the ramp rather than trying to get on top of it which is good. Only note would be try keeping weight in same place but pushing your front foot forward over coping more, kinda like a tweak, so the rock is more on the middle of the board than just having your truck over the coping. Youre more likely to hang up if youre only putting your truck over. If you push a little more forward it will be safer, and it will have a true rock. skateiq vid [VIDEO]
