    I'm starting to do bigger static hops down ledges right now(2' 7"😉 to be
    exact. WOHO! But I'm having a problem when I land, a shot of pain goes
    through my back like my spine is crunching together. Now I think it's
    the way I'm landing, so if there's any tips on landing form that would
    be great. I'm rolling away right when I land and I'm absorbing with my
    legs, what else should I do?

    Maybe you just have back problems? If something causes pain to your
    back, don't do it(or much at least). Check it out with a doctor or a
    chiropractor?

    When I land drops, I keep my torso relaxed, so that it keeps travelling
    down after the uni hits the ground. Don't lock it. That way you slow
    down gradually and the impact is much less.

    I'm not sure how high 2'7" is, my technique works fine for 1m drops
    SIF.

    Alright I'll give that a shot, the drop is almost a meter so I'll try
    that. But no way am I going to the doctor, and have him tell me I can't
    ride. Yeah right.

    You want to start riding immediately when you land...jump forward as far
    out from the drop as you can, so your lateral energy will be translated
    into forward motion.
    So yeah, basically just roll out of your drops.
