I'm talking more about normal melon grabs on flat ground, but I found it easier in a way, to crouch, and lean back a little. It makes the grab more natural...and tweaks it better. For that big of a ramp, I'd suggest slowly going into it...not trying to rush it...because with that much air...you got plenty of time..The landing for me (at least off near waist high stuff) is pretty simple. I just sort of 'relax'...and I prepare to land.
