I'll even give you some responses from that thread.

"For bigger tricks, you don't really want to push that much. If the jump has a good lip, just ride into it with flexed knees and a comfortable posture, and as you go up the transition, gradually extend your legs. It's really a lot timing and a little strength. Just don't push too hard too fast, make sure it's a gradual, smooth, natural extension of your legs."

"i learned to come into the jump with my legs wide, like shoulder width apart, and crouched kinda low with my wieght on the balls of my feet. as i come into the lip i just stand up, not too fast, and not too slow, just stand. then when i am in the air i am really balanced and it helps a lot."

Second, we join the trick tip cult. There's a great wealth of information in there, you'll soon learn to love it.

wait so you can't afterbang off the lip?

it'd be "beforebang". Duh

or pre bang

"Forebang"

Foreplay?

You don't wanna lean back. That's no good...You want to be on the balls of your feet with forward pressure and a tight core. Don't let your upper body cave, but like I said, forward pressure. Bend the legs depending on how much pop you want to get. If you want a little, don't bend them a lot. If you want a strong pop, bend them a fair amount. If you are having issues with being backseat, this will fix that. Hope that helps. That's what I learned.
