2.2.2 Simple jump both feet
The simple jump is the easiest way to jump with your snowboard. In a simple fullbase ride, you jump off with both feet at the same time to fly through the air. You can make your first attempts at jumping while practicing fullbase riding. A controlled version of jumping is the 8.0.1 Ollie
Jump with both feet
It's best to jump on a flatter surface first as a dry run so that you get a feel for how heavy your snowboard is and how hard you have to jump to get airborne.
First go into a low position, stay centered over your snowboard and then jump off firmly with both feet. Try to maintain body tension during the jump and cushion the landing with your knees at the end
When jumping, it is important that you have a secure stance so that you can jump off easily. For big jumps, you can try to pull your legs up during the flight phase to maintain a stable flying position. You can also use small hills on the slope as a jump.
Is it already working?
If you like jumping, you can look at the Ollie next. You can use it to jump even higher and further 8.0.1 Ollie or as an alternative learn another trick such as the 4.1.1 Waltz
