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 |
