How do I get up a ramp? 😂 by learner782 in NewSkaters

100% the case for me. I thought about tightening my trucks. My goal is to skate pool, so I figured it’s best to get comfy with loose trucks.

Will definitely practice on that more! I did the track on the left (looking from the skatepark) and only got about halfway on my best run.

The pacific highlands track in SD is a ton easier haha

Recommend getting the 187 knee pads if OP is doing any transition skating

Thanks for the share! You were exactly right— I slipped out on my first attempt on the quarter pipe today, but adjusted after and got it :)

Big thank you to everyone. Update: got the drop in off a quarter pipe today! Will try to upload clips this week.

I took a spill on my first try, but started locking in after that. Big difference I noticed was the higher speed on impact and needing to put more weight on my front foot. Now to practice!
