Maybe because it feels a bit like magic at first. But you'll come to understand it as you start feeling the concrete safely pulling you round the ramp. I find this video really helpful, even though it's about vert drop-ins (SKATEiQ): [VIDEO] You have to translate it for mini ramps or whatever, but that just means you need a little bit of forward momentum, and you probably don't want that front leg straight thing.

Yes there’s a different technique. Basically you have to bend both knees and drop as close to the wall as possible while keeping your weight centered over the board. Don’t just stomp the front you’ll go head first and stand up too soon. Mitchie Brusco has several tutorials explaining better than i could [VIDEO]
