Acid drops

[Pete Pachota]

Is anyone else a real fan of them? I just love the feeling of doing them. They're not a big challenge when jumping into banks but if there is a two level guardrail, sitting on it and then jumping into the bank is the most efficent way of getting speed from it. I also love jumping into qps, the biggest thing Ive acid dropped into is that mellow quaterpipe at the comp last saturday (not in any of the runs though), the extension is about 4 ft high:

i used to do acid drops but then i got way too much speed to flybox.

ill leave acid drops to skateboarders.

i do "acid drops" if i need speed, i dont acctualy refer to it as a trick though, since it doesnt really require any skill.. like at rye, i get speed for the spine by jumping into a 5 foot quarter from a subbox, probably a 4ish foot drop..but its just to get the speed for the spine, not really to acid drop

I like doing them onto ramps and kickers, but those are more Bank drops, so I dunno, I've never ridden a pipe or QP, or roll-in.

 

[jakob-b]

It does require some transition skills, not anyone can leap down 4ft into tranny. Maybe it's just me that finds them amusing because in Poland there's hardly any transition besides stand-alone quaterpipes. But yeah, it's not a real trick if you can do them well.

I feel like a pussy when i do them, like the other day i was going to jump off this ledge into a like oververt quarter but at the last second i did like an acid drop type thing into it and when i landed and rode away i hit myself for being such a pussy.

 

[James Scown]

Agreed with mostly everyone, I only really use them for speed...

 

[angus69]
