I've been riding for a year or so now, but only ever ridden street. I'm planning on goin' to an indoor park in a couple of weeks, but since I've never ridden park before, I'm just looking for tips. I've read all the posts about dropping in, as the park is mostly QP's and stuff, I figured dropping in would be helpful. So yeah..any advice or tips much appreciated. Cheers

get the feeling of goin up and down banks. then just ride around on the tranny's. try to air a pyramid. as for quarter pipes just roll right in if its pretty small. ive only gone to a park once but i got the hang of it after an hour. just try small qp's first

my advice on dropping in (the rolling in way):
go at almost a 90 degree angle and carve in
keep your cranks even so they dont clip
commit to it
start small
dont physce yourself out

pay attention to people who are riding around you. just sit and watch fro a while just to get the flow of the park so that you don't get in people's way and piss them off.

accually do what you set out to do. nothing is worse then the feeling that you should have done that one thing.
