The lemonade man Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Just wondering what that drop is called where you get to the edge of an object, go onto the front wheel, spin around your back end and then put your weight on it and drop.Just curious really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 back when i first started in the late 90s they were called rock wall drop offs, god knows why but back then every trick had a crap name. They were in one of Ashtons how to sections in MBUK with him dropping off the edge of a quarter pipe. Seem to remember it got a maximum difficulty rating too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Helicopter drop ?So confusing , everyone has different names for moves . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Sounds like an endo drop... On the edge, go on front wheel and spin, then as you're about 90 round, pull up and continue the spin, then land. Hard to explain, something like that anyway ?

N.Wood Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Just make up a shite name and use it, thats what everyone else does. As long as you and your riding buddys know what it is, it doesn't matter what you call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benno Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've always used to call them helicopter drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 180 on the front wheel to drop off is what we always used to call them...why bother with names when you can just be accurate? Surely we're not all so lazy that we have to call it a 'helicopter drop'. Eventually that will become 'chopper drop'. Then 'chopper'. Then 'chop'. Then 'ch'. Then there won't be a move left because there'll be no name for it.No, wait, I'm talking shit, ignore me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
