Small Snowboarding Jumps

Start hitting smaller jumps..?

hey whats up, i’ve been snowboarding a while, and mostly just free ride, never was interested in hitting the park. but anyways, i want to try some smaller jumps around the park. is there anything i should do on the jump or before? it wouldn’t seem like you just roll up to it, catch air, and land. any tips thanks much.

carve a little bit before the jump until your comfortable with your speed not too slow or too fast. Then go off the jump and bring up your knees mid air and when you land bend your knees to cushion your impact. thats about it
