The first time is the scariest, then you fall and say "hey that wasnt too bad". Just do it, if you get hurt oh well, you most likely wont. I've broken a lots of bones, pissed blood, and have to have my hip drained everyone now and then but wouldnt trade the times i've had skating for anything.

Four or five feet.

Busted my shit today 
Im not as worried about falling now that ive seen its not so bad. It was in the middle of two ramps, on cement. I went up, down, and leaned back on accident.
I'm getting there, im getting there.

Four or five feet.
Everyone keeps telling me, "after you drop in for the first time and bust your shit, you just want to get up and do it again, and again, then you build confidence to try other things". I just need to loose common sense for a few seconds, just long enough for me to snap that nose down and cross my fingers.

the reason people fawk up when they are dropping in is that when your dropping you feel like your losing control.. your not... but then people try to compensate and because of that end up falling on their asses

but once you hit it once, its all uphill from there....I prob busted my ass the first 20 times I tried to drop in on the quarter pipe. Then one time I hit it, then I knew exactly what it should feel like, and how to do it a little better each time. I wish I still skated...:happysad:
