deos anyone know of any tutorials on how to do this? I used the search engine but couldnt find nothing, I thought abotu posting this in the “Tutorial” section but not to many popel visit that compared to this section.
I havnt tried it yet tho. I went to the skatepark yesterday to try it, but i just sat up there for like 10 minutes to get the nervs but i culdnt get it lol, im thinking a tutorila will help hopefully
When I drop in I usually aim to make contact with the quarter pipe or half pipe about halfway down the ramp. Most of it is overcoming your nerves though. Don’t worry about it :).
This isn’t a tutorial, but here’s a video of mine (from back in the day when I thought I would ever get good at street) that demonstrates what I’m talking about.
Im sitting up there trying to get the neves to try it and i get on and im sitting there hopping around getting ready to go. and i really come close to backing out and this one kid is all " Look at that kid on te unicycle, hes crazy" and everyone looks so i knew i had to do it lol. So i did it, hurt my kneee pretty bad and put a hole in my pants lol, i only tried once though, i mite give it another try tomorow.
After i did it tho like 5 people came up to me and were all like “dude ur crazy” and they all wanted to tryand ride it lol
The only thing I found you had to worry about was pedalling very fast if the transition is steep or you’re dropping in on a rather large quarter/mini. As folk have said it is easier to jump further out onto the ramp at first.
First time I tried I practically cleared the quarter and only hit the last wee bit of the ramp, I then went backwards and started dropping in further towards the top, now I can sorta just roll off the top of smaller ramps.
Does anyone know the biggest ramp anyone has dropped into, there is a super steep bowl in the Earthbound video that looks to be about seven foot, biggest i’ve seen so far.
Dude just jump off it, thats all there is to it. If you stick it, well done. If you dont, pick yourself up and try it again. The best way to learn is by trying.
One of the first things I do every time I go to Moab is drop in on the 5’ish half pipe they have there. It’s not hard, it’s all about getting over your fear of it. It helps get me psyched up to try more difficult stuff on the trail
