The basics of ramp riding. Start with banks (straight slopes) until you feel comfortable enough for transition (curved slopes). Just going straight on and riding up and then back down in fakie, kick turns in both directions (backside and frontside; backside is easier, frontside you put your back to the flat so it can be scary at first).
