The best way to do this safely is to find a qualified instructor to help you get there, you can do it on your own but there will likely be some crashes in there. To improve from where you are now is where the risk starts going up and up the closer you get to the limit the smaller the margin of error so it's best to have someone to point out the small errors that you're making to help you fix them to be faster and safer at the same time.

A few friends tell me that a school is the best bang for the buck investment for improvement and confidence in high speed riding.
for you I'd recommend TPM's art level II with mark at njmp, I'll be taking it again early next season and it's a huge help
that and ycrs if you have the cash, I'll be doing css level 1 (maybe 2 as well) too at njmp next season
