Jumping
First, be sure to understand the need for high level of physical ability in order to prevent injury from dangerous feats. Beginners should start by learning the proper way to squat, jump, and roll before attempting any running drops such as those explained in this article.
Find a location with a stair set that has stairs. As stated, safety is paramount, so do not attempt to do anything you have not trained your body to handle safely.
Check your surroundings and surfaces. Do not attempt if the environment is unsafe.
Work your way up to the particular obstacle by practicing pieces of the technique (e.g., jump off of the first step 5 - 10 times) until you have mastered the technique at that level before moving on. The technique must be flawless.
The impact of your landing should be absorbed by the muscles in your legs and not by the bones or tendons. Serious injury can and will occur if you repeatedly land improperly.
While in the air, spot your landing. Extend your legs out to reach the ground before you land, then as you land you should absorb with your legs, slowing the descending acceleration with your muscles. This is comparative to a spring compressing.
Landing with a lot of forward momentum will require you to roll in order to avoid falling and/or injuring yourself. DO NOT ROLL ALONG YOUR SPINE OR YOUR HEAD! Roll over your shoulder instead, there should be no pain.

Sliding
First make sure that the stairs have a handrail.
Then jump placing both your hands on it shoulder length apart on the rail.
Place your right foot in the rail's hoop, then slide down.
When you have done this wait till the right moment to jump and land backwards with your hands behind you.
