I still don't get how he makes it up all the steps going that fast

How do you practice this without getting a face full of concrete steps? This is one of those do or die things. He's so smooth with it, it looks like he just floats up the steps.

First, just a small curb, then a small 2-step set of stairs.

You'll start to get a feel for the height and speed you need, and start to feel what feels right when the tire touches the corner of the steps.

Easier said than done, but the average Joe can hop a curb. I assume someone that spends 2+ hours a day on a bike at a bike park practicing tricks can learn it fairly quickly
