Park jumps

Snowboarding / Popular

Approach, pop and land park jumps safely.

What coaches agree on

  • Before you drop in, scope the jump and watch other riders hit it first — that's how you learn the speed you'll need.
  • Master a jump size before moving up — progress from small jumps and rollers, to medium, to large.

  • On an actual jump with a takeoff ramp, get airborne with a compact two-footed pop — the ramp's own shape does much of the lifting, so you need less leg drive than a flat-ground ollie.

Common mistakes

  • A common mistake is losing a stacked, squared stance — shoulders and hips twisting out of line with the board, or leaning back off the lip — which throws off balance in the air, especially when fear takes over on bigger jumps.

Coach's take: The 'it's the pop off the lip, not tucking your knees in the air' correction is the kind of detail that actually fixes people's jumps.
