What skaters said on Reddit
I'm not a skater at all (not actually sure how this ended up on my feed), but I think this is it. When I've watched videos of people 'dropping in' they're usually leaning fairly hard into their forward leg until they level out. This slow-mo tutorial [VIDEO] is a perfect example of the 'lean' everyone's mentioned. Good luck with your skating!
This is the best advice as already mentioned but heres the link to Tony Hawk telling you. [VIDEO]
