do you pop like with the spring of your skis like with the tips and/or tails? or do you just plainly jump? cuz i plainly jump. and i dunno if thats right or wrong or if there is a right or wrong at all.

to me it really depends what I am getting on to and how high I need to jump.  the higher I have to go the more I go off of the tails of my skis.

If you're popping off a lip, usually people just jump.  The shape of the lip loads your skis and when you pop, they give you a bit of a boost.  However, on urban style, where the take-off is flat, it can take more of an ollie to get some pop.  Probably depends on preference too and what kind of style you want to have.  I usually just pop, especially if I'm spinning. (Although there certainly are situations where I ollie as well...)

the curve of the jump/lip bends your skis so when you just jump the springs pop it.

yea for rails dpending on how low the jump up to it is, i pop off of my tails. Jumps allow your skis to take the shape of the curve so you really just gotta jump and your skis will spring you up.

I try to jump with my weight even on my skis, when i extend trying and get your hips over your ankles/knees to avoid from landing backseat while spinning.
