well,learning,you will clip most likley,i have ,everyone does,but just dont be to afraid and go up and pull up and back and turn and look at your landing,your bike will follow,maybe you should try and just do it to were you feel comfortable,like working your way up,and just keep going higher and higher,evetually you will get it.hope this helps you out.
Just to get by,we keepin it fly.

aww i hate clipping ramps/coping.

Its gonna happen once you ride the ramp enough.

My first time..

Came over the top of a roll in, went into a pool, turned around on the vert wall, got a slight bit of air, came down, back wheel got stuck on a copping.

Once it happens, you lose this like fright of airing though. Still hate masonite..  :x

woulda, shoulda, coulda..... it is possible.

just go straight and hopp a little and bring the nose back into the tranny. some people use their brakes to help.

your such a nay-sayer :-P

the pipe is fine. the rider is the one to blame. just truck at it, take or unhook your brakes so you cant use em, youll be forced to deal with it and once you do your fear will be gone because you will know how to do it. just keep flying at it, push your nose down alot, and instead of airing straigh up and down, air sideways and land farther down from where you took off. i found that to be alot easier than straight up and down.

Try and carve it as much as you can and try and land as close to the top as possible without hanging up. The higher you land the better pump you'll get coming down. Slightly lean into the rotation and watch the ramp as you turn and the body will follow. Don't do a 180 bunnyhop. Take your time it will come to you.

if the bike barely fits in the tranny he cant build any momentum therefore no speed therefore no air this is why i said the radius is too small.

the radius is FINE. its not the ramp its the rider. id be like riding a tranny that youd find on street. typically if you find a tranny on street its really tight but anything is ridable if you try. NEVER blame the ramp.
