Of course skate it more but in an effort to aftually be helpful:
If you're in a hurry, pad up. Especially wrist guards and knee pads, and getting used to falling into a knee-slide is like a trick in itself.
The reason I say pads is because you'll be more likely to seriously try to commit if the fall will hurt less, and you will fall a lot while you're getting comfortable on tranny. Other reasons are that you'll get hurt less so not as much downtime from injuries.
Other things to consider:
Take it slow, don't start trying to blast shit right away. Learn to pump properly forward and backward, then learn basic stalls, fakie rocks then fakie-tail and fakie disaster, and axel stalls. Learn ollie to tail stall before trying tailslides, etc.
Lastly, and in my opinion most importantly, try to learn on a medium sized ramp, not a small one. If you can drop in on a 3' ramp you can drop in on a 7'. I progressed most on tranny skating a 6' mini. Besides there being more transition to fall on so you don't always go straight to the flat, learning on a mid-sized ramp makes skating the little ones super easy. Oh, and if possible, learn on an actual mini ramp so you get used to the back and forth flow, hitting the lips repeatedly going forward and fakie, you'll get more comfortable more quickly.
