There are some trails around me that have kickers like that and if I'm going as fast as I want to go, hitting them like a normal jump could be disastrous.
Scrubbing comes to mind. Dminor would be a good one to explain it but it's essentially leaning the bike over as you exit the lip. There's a lot of moto guys on here who probably have this down better than me.
