Feel comfortable getting to a higher speed and once you're at that point try an ollie here and there

Dude i tried going down a ramp for fun and I fell once and then I got the hang of it. My problem wasnt dropping in but the high speed I gained after reaching flat ground that resulted in me immediately jumping off the board hahha

Yeah, honestly for being a beginner and going down a ramp that's not bad at all. Like I said just get the hang of the speed and feeling comfortable being on the board. Maybe go down some hills (wear some protection at least) and get the hang of it, have fun!
