How do you jump on a snowboard?

Question

i snowboard on a bunny hill sized hill near my house. On the way down the hill i have trouble getting air and landing the right way. Whats the proper way to execute a jump?

Answer 1

Bend down and spring from the back of the board and land. Slide the board foward and raise the nose of the board and put your weight on the back foot. So your board is bent on the back and as straights itself out, you'll spring upward. And land on both feet (flat on the board).

Answer 2

this would pretty much be the best way for you to get an understanding of it.

Answer 3

The most important thing to remember is that you have to take off flat and balanced in order to land smoothly.
