Skateboarding question.?

Question

you how pro skater gap those like 20 sets. and gap those huge drops. and when they land. they ride away like nothing. but if i gap a 5 set i absord so much impact. and it realy hurts. but im not bailing im landing it clean. why can they gap 20 sets and feel no impact. but i gap a 5 set and my feet and legs hurt for a week.

p.s. im a very strong kid and ive been drinking a glass of milk every day since the age of 5.

and ive never broken a bone.

i land very nice.

my skateboard components: speed demondeck venture trucks. almost wheels. bones red bearings.

can you help me with this.

( if you did not understand what im asking, its how to absord less impact from jumping off things on a skate board.

Answer 1

It's all in the legs....when you land, you gotta bend your legs to absorb the impact. If you keep your legs straight, it's gonna kill. When you hit the floor, bend your legs almost all the way to absorb the impact.

Answer 2

as you land , bend your knees as you hit the floor because if you keep your legs straight you will probably hurt your feet and break your ankle
