The drop in is one of the most feared things for beginners to do when they go to skatepark. Its actually quite simple once the rider commits to doing it. The drop in takes place on a quarter pipe or half pipe were the rider simply rolls down the side of the ramp from the top to bottom. This is scary because the bodys natural reaction is to lean back which will give you a nice bruise on you butt.
The right way to do it is to place your board on the coping or edge of the ramp and just take that step forward and place your front foot over the bolts and slam your board down onto the ramp leaning forward and absort the curve of the ramp. After doing this you have just taken another step in skateboarding next try to learn some tricks on the coping.
Happy Skateboarding.
