Some times I do the fast plant technique as well, approach at an angle, unclip the curbside foot, and boost up the curb with that foot.
My 1st big bike accident as a 5 yr old was trying to ride up a curb, back in the days of sloped curbs. I took too shallow an angle and washed out, face-first. To this day I am reluctant to take on a curb at any angle other than perpendicular.
