How to Snowboarding a Bomb Drop, basically Bomb Drops means dropping from a stationary standing position to the ground below. As well as being fun and challenging, they also come in handy if you ever find yourself stuck above a rock band in the backcountry. Or in a burning building.
Snowboarding Trick Bomb Drops Tip :
Be confident. If you lean back too much out of fear you’ll take all the impact on the back leg, so keep your weight centred.
Snowboarding Trick : Bomb Drops
- Find a good spot: make sure the ledge you are standing on is stable and has some traction, so you don’t slip as you jump off. Also make sure the landing has a little transition to land in.
- Look down and focus on the spot you’re aiming for. Visualise the take-off, drop, and landing.
- Get down low, lean a little bit forward, and push equally off both feet.
- Pull your feet up into your body, keeping your eyes on the landing spot at all times, and grab.
- As you’re coming in towards the landing, extend legs to meet the ground, and get ready to absorb the shock of landing flat.
- Land, soak up the impact, and ride away.
