This video will show you how to successfully ascend and descend stairs/steps in a wheelchair. It's probably not a good idea to attempt if you aren't comfortable holding wheelies up and down street curbs. Get at me if you have any questions.
Great video and explanation, thanks. Going up the way you did looks very dangerous though. I kept thinking about falling over backwards and continuing to tumble down. The results could be awful. Good tip on leaning forward though, it does make all the difference.
When I first started watching, I was surprised. I'd never seen that technique before. Stairs are my nemesis. Don't care how high a curb is but on stairs I'm always worried about running out of room and sliding/falling. Ouch!
