You are buzzing down a sweet single-track with a few of your best pals. As you burst out of a corner, you are faced with a ladder drop. The rider in front of you confidently rides off it and gracefully drops through the air then sticks a buttery-smooth landing. You sheepishly pick the ride-around trail, and internally turn green with envy at the prowess of the rider preceding you. Safely riding off a drop - ladder or natural - is a mountain-biking skill that will instantly open up new lines and allow you to have more fun than ever on your bike. With a bit of knowledge and some practice, you will be the one filling the new riders with envy as you gracefully and confidently ride off the drops.
