That's good! Where are many ways to gain speed on a bowl to reach other side! Start power crouching from highest position, like falling down to the ramp, then you drop. Extending legs then you go down, being on a ramp(pushing from surface), crouching on flat(speed not change, get ready to move up), power extend on flat just before you go up on other side(get off resistance from up motion to the hill), or still crouching and do nothing if you want fly out. When you do all steps correctly(timing, amplitude, balance), it will be crazy speed.

Thanks! Yes, getting the timing right is probably very important. I notice that when I actually do get the timing right. One of the drop ins I did - not caught on video - I got everything right and felt a "swoosh" feeling as I was going down the ramp. Sometimes when I pump up at the beginning of the transition I also get this "whoa" feeling. Another thing, I didn't know that you should stay crouched as you go up the ramp if you want to fly out - I need to try that!
Try Rolling in it’s way easier than dropping in. Manuel off the coping and point your front foot down to match the ramp.

Roll Ins are a longtime dream of mine, but I'm so afraid of hanging up on the back trucks and getting thrown off the board, face - or shoulder - first into the concrete 😲 But I have learned a bit lately about Roll Ins from Mitchie @skateiq As far as I understand, it's important to keep the board level as long as possible, so that you don't point the nose down too early.
