I don't understand how people do that, though know people do. Just ensure your front wheel is close to a 90 angle with the tram line when going over it. The trick is to quickly turn it to make the angle, then when over turn it back again, then you don't have to switch your momentum.
Saying that I got my front wheel stuck between some weird concrete things designed to make cars go slowly. The result was a hilarious cleet fail - tried to uncleet but the action just pulled me to the ground much faster. No real harm. Now I walk over that bit.
