hey bro whats up? nice logo, i have been riding ns for 8 years now... anyways, you will find that after a while of riding you will have your own style from your own experiance, but its always good to get some tips. the best way is yes experiance it yourself, but at the same time you will want to start small. when your riding off of the jump you dont want to be on an edge, or you will eat shit! you want to be flat, going fast enough for the jump, keeping your knees slightly bent, and keep your body centered, slightly leaning to the back. slightly only not too much just a tiny bit.... now your goal is to try to land 3/4th's of the way to the top of the landing tranny... that make sense to you? its like you want to overshute the flat top by just a few feet for a clean landing and less impact on the knees. most of the jumping comes by experiance itself. but the only thing you need to remember is: go fast, stay flat on takeoff, and try to clear the flat top of the jump by landing just above the middle of the landing transition. if you have any more question bro just ask man.... take it easy and remember start small.

hey i think it's cool ur asking for help on how to go off of jumps properly. i had the same problem this winter after i asked how to do that type of thing i kinda learned how.it took me a week to feel comfortable with jumps. now i can go off some farely decent sized jumps. for me the type of thing that helped was to build a small jump u kinda want something that u feel comfortable going off of. for me it helped a lot to build a jump that was wide enough to make me feel like i wasn' going to fall off. i say build a jump that is 2 to 5 feet high and make it as wide as u can. i made mine about 3 to 5 feet wide and that has helped. just make sure that u don't go down a hill that is too steep u don't want to go too fast. another thing i think u should do is maybe even have some extra snow to put around the jump in case u do fall. good luck and i hope this helps
