How do I drop in on the halfpipe or bowl with a ripstik?

Question

With my ripstik I drop in on quarter pipes and stuff but when I get to the bowl I freeze up and chicken out. My reason could be because I fell very hard on the quarter pipe the first time I tried, or because I'm the only one at the skate park with a ripstik.

Answer 1

Nice Man, way to represent, I'm the only person at my skatepark that ripstiks too. What you gotta do is put the tail on the edge, but not all the way to the wheel, If you put it all the way to the wheel, you'll drop in with the wheel backwards, and you'll mess up. Push and lean foward with your front foot, and try and keep the board as steady as you can. Don't forget to bend your knees but still stay kind of loose. Hope you can do it!
