Learn how to pull from crank to rubber would be the most obvious thing. It's pretty easy once you do it but it takes some nerve.
Yeah, most people I see when learning tense there legs up right before they jump, and then they either dont get to rubber, or they just stay down like they are about to jump, but never do.
Be relaxed, and be able to jump without the tires compression. Jump and pull up on the handle, and your really dont need to lean over much at all to get your tire on the object. =p
Maestro wrote out a really good guide on them. Search for that.
Yeah, going from a crank/pedal grab to a crank climb is your best move, because learning this can open up a lot of obstacles that are too hight to simply hop onto. It's a lot harder to learn if you have a 24" than a 20 though.
Try going up, and not rolling out of it. Just get up and hop until your balance is restored, and then role out of it. Practice this and after a bit you should be able to do it smoothly.
This is a crank grab right?
yup its a crank grab. unfortunately I can't even get get my balance:o I just roll forward so fast I fall off. should I be grabing with my front foot or back?

Just go with whatever feels more comfortable ...if something feels funny try mixing it up a bit until you find what helps you.....these took me a while to learn but they really do come in handy.
