To get on to top of a half pipe, or out of a steep faced bowl, need to either ollie early, tilt your device 'forward' or in some cases both. In the case of a 'vert ramp' (a ramp that goes fully perpendicular to the ground, like the one pictured), you may also need to ride up the ramp at a slight angle.

Also, just to be sure your aware, in order to get the speed you need to MUST pump the transitions to speed up. This is done simply (too simply if you ask me) by keeping your finger on the board when going thought the curving section of the ramp. If you don't ollie and keep your finger on the board you'll end up pumping your way all the way to the ceiling! Quite unrealistically..

Once your going fast enough to get above the lip (top of the ramp), approach the lip at a slight angle, ollie before you get to the vertical section of the ramp and lean your device forward. If your going too fast you may clear the entire platform!!! Resulting in some serious injuries... ;)

I'm contemplating making some Video tutorials about how to ride transitions, if people would like that?
