you have to ollie lol. if you ollie the board wont move, just keep your balance when trying them. Try them down 2 sets then build up, whatever you do dont get stuck of 3 sets like me :MAD: AH! its so queer

when you ollie you need to crouch and stay crouched longer than if you were ollieing on flatland. right before you land you need to extend your legs and absorb the impact.

Don't try to ollie hella high. At first just do a little deck high ollie and work your way up after you get use to the stairs. Also, put your front foot a little further up on the board so you'll land on the screws easier.

Ollie and then slam down on the board to make sure you land properly, and keep your weight on your trucks to avoid snappoin your deck

good luck with it...(hpe it aint too late), to strat off just roll off the set with enough speed to get you down it... then get the feel for that and then just roll along at normal speed and pop a ollie and as the come in contact with the floor bend your knees a little bit cause it's not that big of a shock

stay square when you land, and just start out going fast enough to clear the gap.

for a two stair you don't even have to ollie. you can get some good speed and just roll off. try what iamflameboy said.
