Although it looks easy, dropping in on a ramp in a skateboard park is not a very easy thing to do. Always wear your safety equipment whenever you are skateboarding. Even pros wear safety equipment.
You don’t need to take a lot of skill to do drop in. However, beginner skateboarders will tend to get nervous whenever they attempt to drop in on the ramp. This means that their body will tense up which will force them to shift their weight and eventually fall.
Drop ins are basically what skateboarders do to enter bowls or the vert ramp. This will allow the skateboarder to instantly gain a lot of speed and get big air to perform their tricks.
If you are just a beginner, you first need to get comfortable riding your skateboard by riding on the ground around the park.
Dropping in won't necessarily mean that you need to know a few skateboard tricks, but it just means that you should know how to ride your skateboard comfortably and with proper balance.
You have to remember that once you've dropped in, you can not turn back. You will gain a lot of speed at a very fast rate. To drop in, the first thing that you need to do is check out the ramp. If it's too big, start off with mini ramps. After checking out the ramp, set the tail of the board on the coping which is the edge of the ramp. Hold the board with your back foot by stepping on the tail. If you are ready to go, place your front foot just behind the nose or just above the front trucks of the skateboard. Then shift your weight forward and stomp your front foot and let gravity do the rest.
As mentioned before, there is no need for you to know different tricks when dropping off a ramp.
