well if your 180 airing then hitting the coping on your way up is what you should do, but get a lot of speed. I found out that the bigger bunny hop motion you make when airing, the more you will get shot out towards flat which is a knee killer
just do it, because in a few years when you realize that you were scared of doing something as simple as airing out, you will regret wasting all your time that you could have spent progressing.
look just fucking peg at the ramp pump up into at follow the transtion of the ramp and the jump u aint gonna hurt your self airing if u want to bail just throw your scoot and run down the ramp
