Start with a 2 -3 foot ramp. Remember, a tranny (transistion) is different than a flatbank. In order to drop-in, you have to find a tranny.
So that means quarter pipe or half pipe.
Next - get the right gear. Helmet, knee pads and wrist guards. Many people fall the first time .. so .. might as well prepare for it.
Next, get Megas - if you don't have Megas, then .. well .. get some elbow pads too.
Next, put your lead foot over the ledge. You can put it pretty far down.
Now the hard part. You have to LEAN FORWARD .. and stay perpendicular (90 degrees) to the ramp surface. So if the ramp surface it vert, you have to be vert.
That's the biggest problem with people trying to drop in. And its not just Heelys .. its all sports.
You have to fight the instinct to stay upright. If you do, YOU WILL FALL. Stay perpendicular to the surface and ride it out.
Also .. remember, Heeling = one foot in front of the other. That's true on flatland .. its true on vert.
Finally . try not to brake. If you do, it will throw your balance. Start small and you don't go too fast to control.
So remember .. start small .. gear up .. and stay perpendicular to the ramp surface.
G'Luck!

david thats very good help. Wish i noticed you posted that earlier. I went to the skatepark and my cousin tried to drop in and he fell like 20 times. Hurt his knee a bit but he is ok. I need to get knee pads and elbow pads. |
