Today, I am going to show you how to get used to a transition ramp like this one right here. This will help you to learn how to also when you get ready to drop in on this ramp, hope you keep your balance a little bit easier also. Basically, what you want to do is when you basically start your board off at one end of the ramp like I will start off with this one for instance. You want to start off as if you going to be pushing, so make sure your front foot is over your front part of the board like over the bolt area and have you foot over by the back wheels, like just exact like you want to take the push, so what you want to do is, take may be like a push or two. When you start to go up this ramp, make sure your shoulders get even with the ramp, so you don’t lean to far back and fall and/or you can lean forward and don't go anywhere at all. What you want to do to get a little bit speed… to get a little bit of speed, back out, surf in back in, push out, push back in, this also will create a bit of a momentum."
