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

I'd add:

4.5: DON'T twist round to face forward - keep the board straight, or you'll
land on an edge. It hurts.

and

8. Keep riding flat until you're back in control of things.
