Going down stairs

I plan on picking up that video that everyone is talking about, and
taking a look at OOW magazine, but for now, I'd like pointers for
learning how to go down stairs. I've practiced going off curbs, and
that is pretty easy, but the thought of moving on to 2 steps is
pretty scary. I was thinking about trying some steps that are spread
out more, with each step about 4 feet or longer. It still seems that
going to 2 steps is the tough/dangerous part, after that 3 steps
wouldn't be much more difficult.

I'd appreciate any help or safety tips (I assume falling off the back is
the preferred panic maneuver).
