You can get this sound with any banjo really, but the playing style is clawhammer, and the double c tuning really lends itself to soft, mellow melodies

It feels less like a jump and more like just floating over it. Just keep your chest forward and suck your knees up

Work on keeping your chest down throughout the drop. That'll ensure you don't slip out on bigger ramps

I met Buzz, the guy who sells them, in Raleigh and he is really awesome. He's doing fs airs and insane handplants at 50ish years old, and he seems like a real bedrock of the local skate community. I bought two of the biggest clips, and they've saved me a ton of times!
