If it helps, hell yeah! 😆
Seriously though….drops are much easier and take sooooo much less skill than jumps. Hucking takes two things bro….1) A simple commit 2) speed (if it has a gap) 3) slide back (slide back) more toward the rear wheel and get lower for a better center of gravity as your bike is doing its thing. If you get back and lower, you will naturally pull back on the bars (not pull up like on the DJ’s) toward your chest (like a manual) so that the back tire lands first. DJ’s you want the front tire to land first and the rear wheel will follow in the same spot (part of pumping).
Once it has been done, you will look back and say….."Damn that was fun!!!….LOL" 😉 😄
I was doing the drops at Santos, nothing big but It was also at a time when i was riding a lot more. For a lack of better words, i need to regrow some balls. lol
