how to get air in verts

if it helps you when your rolling up the qp let your tyre hit the coping and then launch into the air so you will fin that you land down the ramp smoother

also practise
 
I really dont get the pop off the coping method, in most cases I would die if I hit it, but on qps with coping that doesnt suck it just pops me back, also I see no way of how could that work on a real vert ramp. It works the best for me if I jump just before I hit the coping.

If it's on something with vert I just lift up a little so my wheels don't hit the coping, but on something not vert I jump like mad.
 
im not the best at airing . but i lift my front wheel up slightly so it clears the coaping then pop off with my back wheel . you probally want to hit it with speed and not wuss out .any thing taller then 6 is easier to air for me .

when im going at the ramp i go straight off, do a 180, then right before i go back in i tuck in like a mofugga so my front whizzeel doesn't bash the coping, yo

you air weird if you have to tuck to land back in..i dont do anything with the coping..the only problem i ever had with airing was that i always tapped the brake on the way up the quarter and never really realized i did it, so i stopped and now i can air just fine

i just ride up the ramp and hit the coping with my front wheel.. when i come back into the ramp i land smoothly under the coping.. as long as you practise youll be sweet...

try to air out of something big cos its easier
 
yea dont ride vert like gary just said bcoz u will land really flat!!!!!!!! what u should do is just air it small and get used to the ramp then go higher and higher.....
