Its quite well made I think with cool illustrations.
1.
Ok well when you want to do a pedal stall to fakie its kinda hard to get used to the feel of leaning your bike into the ramp more than you normally would, this is because you have to pop into the pedal stall so that the momentum of you going up the ramp mathches the pull of gravity making you fall back into the ramp. This is why when you do the pedal stall it needs to be a quickish stall because as the momentum fades, the gravity makes you come back into the ramp. right before this happens swing your hips into the ramp and just as you are going to fall in pop off the coping and let the bike twist back into line with your body.
2.
Pull the front wheel up a bit and tuck it in so you land noseheavy. try to make sure, however that you dont
land leaning over the bars or you will flip over them and turn into a mouldy cake or something equally as bad.
3.
This will probably take a bit of getting used to - the spinning and the right angle of lean bo. But when you get this down its pretty plain sailing and as long as you can fakie well you should be able to get used to it. Another way of getting used to backpedaling down transition is by doing rock to fakies - rolling front wheel over the coping and hopping back in.
I hope you learned from this and yeh well. have fun dont do drugs and stay in school. haha

how steep of a quarter should you be learning these on? whenever im stalled i feel like i wont pull off the coping far enough and my front tire will hit way before my rear before i get the rotation around. how hard do you push away from the tranny when you hop in?

on mellower quarters you need to push away harder and tuck the front wheel up more, it is easier on steeper quarters, but can be scarier as steeper normally means bigger too.

so should i really work on clearing the front wheel when i drop back in? it seems like the front wheel will kinda just stay where it is on the tranny when i hop off the coping? do you hop away from the coping really hard to get more time or just push the back end down alot?

erm you need to spin the back of the bike really and pivot around the front wheel, but dont pivot on the front wheel, you need to lean back alot too on mellow qps, its also kinda trial and error as most tricks are

learn these on a steep ramp. you'll be better off that way. its not so hard to land nice. and dont try it on slippery ramps, or it sucks.

really the only place i have to learn them is on a cement quarter thats maybe 4 feet or 5 feet..or a big 6 footer thats bowled out..
im sure its trial and error like you said...im just not wanting the error part very much because im sure it will re tear my ankle up
