How to Drop in on a Halfpipe With a Skateboard

1. Set your board up on the coping with the trucks over the edge of the ramp.
2. Get a friend to hold the end of the board and let you stomp like you were a child having a temper tantrum on the truck bolts as hard as you can. This way you won't actually drop in.
3. Ask you friend to let go so you can actually drop in.
4. After your friend moves out of the way do the same stomping motion in the same place on the board this way you will drop in.
5. Once you get rolling into the pipe place your feet more evened out and lean the way the pipe is shaped.
6. When you get to the other side of the pipe, bend your knees right before you get to the coping. This is called pumping, and it speeds you up enabling you to go back and forth.
