Yea, it's about committing. If you aren't committed to staying on you are going to bail. Just watching you can tell you were taking your weight off your front foot. I'm sure just dropping in once made every subsequent try that much easier. Friends, other skaters, and videos can be great resources. Here are some links that may be helpful. * Positioning and Pushing [VIDEO] * Kick turns on a ramp [VIDEO] * Dropping In [
Heres a video with Tony Hawk explaining how to do it! [VIDEO] I have busted my ass but not shifting my weight to my front foot like you and I’m scared to do it again without a helmet lmao
