Balance correctly depending on how waxed, steep, and if it's square or round. Wax it no matter what. Don't lean forward but push your scooter into the position it needs to be in so the bottom of the deck is straight on it. Also, start out going a little faster but once you get them go slower and jump higher it's a lot easier and you can do tricks on and off of them. Try to be even on the rail like I said. Don't just tap it with the side of your deck.
