Make sure you're not hitting the brakes at all - that's very hard in FATS.

Really the best advice is to get MEGAS.

If you are daring enough, you can try JUMPING into the halfpipe, then you should have no problem reaching the other side. I highly recommend you wear pads and a helmet for this.

If you throw all of your weight foreward and make sure none of the shoe is dragging, you should have no problems

I think if you have a problem getting up the other side, you could just jump off of your front foot to get to the top. I've seen it done a lot of vids. It's really useful if you don't have very much speed dropping in
