Hey all,
I turned 50 years old yesterday and I learned to "drop in" (sort of). I was hoping to drop in on a quarter pipe but only worked my way up to a ramp.
I have always wanted to drop in and tried once when I was about 15 years old but it didn't work out (I could drop in on a bike any day but not a skateboard). So, it's always been a dream of mine, and although I count my ramp drop-in as a "real" drop-in, I won't be happy until I drop into a pipe (successfully) and also, I need to learn how to ollie. I hope to own both of these tricks before I turn 51!!!!
Anyway, old man alert. I don't know anyone who skates or bikes so I feel like my only option is to crash the party here. I hope to learn from you all and get some motivation.
Of course, I did get some video. I can't believe how EASY it looks. I almost started crying as I got closer to a successful drop-in on the big ramp. SUPER freakin' scary, but just trying to take baby steps.
