So you want to learn how to do all these crazy stunts: 720, somersault, rodeo, etc.? Great, but it all starts with the conquest of small jumps.

Steps

1. 1 Learn to snowboard with confidence. Learn to bounce as you descend on level ground to improve your board feel.
2. 2 Find a small springboard. After training on small jumps, you can move on to large ones.
3. 3 To understand how to jump, watch other snowboarders and do not hesitate to ask questions.
4. 4 Pick up enough speed to reach the landing. The springboard consists of departure, flight and landing. A span is often a flat piece of ground after a springboard. If you miss the landing and land on a flat area, you will feel a very hard hit on the ground.
5. 5 Enter the trampoline with your legs slightly bent.
6. 6 When you have overcome 3/4 of the springboard, straighten your knees.
7. 7 In the air, group with your legs tucked in and enjoy the feeling of weightlessness.
8. 8 Try to steer the board down the descent when landing, this converts the vertical speed to horizontal, which will soften the landing and add beauty to your jump.
9. 9 Try to soften the landing as much as possible.

Method 1 of 1: Ollie

1. 1 You can practice doing ollies on a flat piece of land or even on the carpet in your living room.
2. 2 Imagine that you want to make a wave with your snowboard, first lifting the nose, then the center, then the tail of the board.
3. 3 Start lifting your nose, putting your weight on your back leg.
4. 4 Once you understand the movement and body position in which the board is lifted, practice jumping off your back foot. The front leg should be raised so that when you bounce, the back of the board will line up with it.
5. 5 Learn to do this movement with integrity and quickly. The lower you bend down, the higher you can jump.
6. 6 You should be carrying weight and bending the board, not jerking the nose up.
7. 7 The steeper the take off from the springboard, the less jump you need to do. If you put too much weight on your front leg, you will roll over in the air and fall.
8. 8 If the jump is steep, bounce with two feet instead of an ollie.
9. 9 Use a new skill to master new tricks on the plane.

Tips

• A properly landed jump should be very fluid.
