I've been wondering how to land a 10 foot drop for some time now. Could someone tell me how?

Somehow I don't think he's cruising the Sunset Strip with Eddie Murphy.

If landing on a transition you should land front wheel first and your CG back.

If landing on a flat, rear wheel first and CG forward.

If you land a little front it will feel better than landing rear first on a tranny. Although I love landing perfecly. I have also run into drops where landing front first would kill you cause the g-out so badly.

Landing rear is a trials thing to flat. Land almost vert absorbing all the landing with legs.
