Dropped Corby Vert tonite

Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:42 pm by Baldy

took me 2 and a half hours to finally man the fuck up and do it.

slammed pretty hard on the 2nd one as i had too much weight on my back foot. elbow pad ended up by my armpit and left a layer of skin on the opposite tranny

time for some better elbow pads methinks.

kinda good to slam in a way, because it took the whole 'edgy' thing off it, was fine after that.

proper stoked :mrgreen:

now i just gotta stay on and ride that bitch for more than one wall :lol:

one thing i would say to anyone who wants to do it, is dont take too much advice on it. Just drop-in how you normally do, dont try and re-engineer it 'cos its vert'.

Well done dude, that's big balls stuff. I'm trying to grow mine and drop the Skaterham ramp and that's a mere baby compared to Corby. (AW)

Well done that man.

The free fall bit was a suprise but after the 3rd the timing got easier! Fooking scary looking down - even when you've done it!

Cheers Peeps :mrgreen:

yea, its like your floating down the ramp and you dont really feel your board again till you hit the opposite wall. I know for a FACT that i will be shitting it when i go for round 2 on sunday :lol:

Just found this on YouTube. He uses mattreses to teach people to drop in. A clever idea!

very clever, by is there a matress to fatness ration we should no about, i think i'd need more than 13

That looks like a great way to learn how to drop in with a somersault follow through.

At least your riding it...I'm still just staring at it!

That mat technique is a really good idea.

I like the mattress idea, you could always have a kip between runs

Very true especially at our age. We would only get one go and be fast asleep as soon as our heads touched the mattress.
