im having trouble with them too, is it me or my forks/deck. i have rup stock forks and stock deck

try em with your fork backwards thatll help
scorchers are the BEST footjam fork out! you can do em with your fork straight and its really easy to get your foot in there
i do em with scorchers and a lucky evo deck

Do them standing still first. Stand with one foot on your deck, and one foot on the ground. Then just put your foot in and stay there. Don't hop into it yet, but just lift your deck up and put your foot in the fork in one fluent motion. Then, once you get that dialed, stand the same way, but hop a little bit into it. Once you get that dialed, put both feet on the deck and hop into it. Once you get that dialed, you just gotta keep practicing them.

Its basically the same as doing them in and out of banks, just a little harder and scarier. Make sure you go just barely fast enough to get up there, so your not airing like a foot up into a footjam. You can try them from feebles as well. Just takes practice.
