    Skateboarding Explained

    Skateboarding Explained says:

    "Usually when people are dropping their foot down like that, it could be a few things. Try this:
    - Think about lifting your front knee up more and kicking out.
    - Make sure you're not hunching too much... This can cause your front foot to drop like you described. (Keep your upper body the same as you would when jumping over something, without your skateboard...moderately straight)
    - Try some kickflips while holding on to a chain link fence. Fear may be keeping you from committing to it. If you're not scared, this will help you keep your body in the air longer. Once you land a few of these you should be ready.
    I hope this helps.
