just practice hopping in without landing in a footjam?

like just start in a footjam and hop in

thats what im trying to get. i can hop into the footjam but not into the ramp so im just dialling in my jump ins

It is tricky haha I feel the pain. On the qp I did it on it didn't have copeing so I footjamed where it would be hahaha

I know exactly what you mean. Just practise A LOT! I mean a lot, don't go do big stuff too early like I did. I was doing nice great footjams in a bowl and I thought I was good enough to go do one in the 5ft halfpipe. I did about 4 perfect ones until I got to my last one and slipped up and went head and shoulder first into the ramp. Trip to the hospital showed that I broke my collar bone. Moral of the story - Dial the hell out of footjams before going off half-cocked thinking you can do bigger ones. I have currently lost footjams and I am currently relearning them.

go slower then you think you should go therefore your weight remains on the side where the quarter is, then try and hop pretty hard into the quarter. Once you land one of them youll have em. Good luck,

It really helps alot when you put your foot on the side of the deck aswell, So like put your tippy toes on the wheel, then try cerv it abit and place the back of your foot on the deck. It gives you abit more balance than normal. When you try hop out of it, try do it on ground and do about 3 hops and you will proberlly get it! Hope this helps you man
