"This is Sean from Expert Village. Once you are ready to start trying them on the ramp like I said medium to fast pace depending on the size of the ramp, it's good to stay as close to the copping as you can that way you can kind of shorten your curb distance. If you want a nice loopy one, I would suggest that you get really good at hang 5 first before you do that. What you want to do is come up with the ramp, once you hit the top of the copping, go ahead and jump just like you would to go under a nose wheelie. Pull your front brake a little bit, put your foot on the peg and then you want your seat to come and hit you in the rear. What you want to do is hopefully you want to find your balance point and you'll be able to use your other leg for just going back and forth to balance you. Once you get up here, you are going to find out that you are too far forward right off of the bat and it's okay. Just let off of the brake, lean back a little bit and you'll kind of correct yourself hopefully your momentum will take you while you're doing it. So you'll start to kind of catch your balance as you go."
