I found having a bit of ply behind the coping takes away the fear factor as instead of hookin up you just bounce of the ply.  But because you know the ply is there you dont even come close to touching it.  I re learn't airs this way at the Chalton ramp.

or do one more pedal that helps you get air lol
and that was my fear hanging up
after seeing gordy hang up entire wheel after a 6 or 7 ft air and rode out helped me loads lol

JAY:
Its just all in the head , just go for it or you'll never do it , Don,t worry about hitting the coping a bit , its nowt , iv'e hung the front and still rode out , just do it..... :)

OOPS , didn,t read your post proper , coping knocks you off , I think when you are learning to get out the top you try and do something different to your normal technique as you panic a bit ,i think its just about keeping your nerve . But its a case of practice alot , it will come, along with a few falls   ;D

And when you get out there its the best feeling.......

rom_kid_04:
just pull up as your front wheel hits the coping and as long as you pull out enough you wont hang however.. on ver do NOT pull out at all it will end up as a bad accident

lazychubs:
