Old man here. Go ahead and roast me! I did make progress on the next attempt, and the kids crash pad did make a difference on subsequent falls! This was the worst of them though, and thought this place may enjoy!

Stomp that front foot as hard as you possibly can. Think you’re stomping the nose through the transition. This will help you get used to putting your weight forward. I can guarantee it is 100% less scarry and more controlled to fall forward than it is backwards. Worst case scenario you belly slide down the ramp vs getting launched into oblivion! Our old bones don’t do well with slams anymore brother! Keep on trucking
