Default Jump Mechanics?

Ok I'm a total newbie, started this season. I think I want to try some jumps
before the season ends though.
I think I understand how a jump should go, but can someone spell it out for
me? To my understanding you:

1. Ride flat to the jump
2. Crouch down a bit
3. On lift off extend from crouch
4. Then raise your legs up to your chest
5. Spot landing
6. Extend legs down to absorb impact, keeping them slightly bend
7. Land to the cheering throngs of people.

Is that right or wrong? I've also read on this board to not crouch down, but
to
stay straight up???
