I feel like this detailed breakdown of popping technique was really needed, because many tutorials (including older ones from Snowboard Addiction) don't differentiate between jumping with two feet at the same time and the popping technique described in this video.
Glad it was helpful! We are working hard to make this series cover every question in deeper detail then anyone has done before! This is just the start💪
@@SnowboardAddiction I also like the examples of what happens when you apply incorrect technique. It's hard to self-diagnose when you don't understand why your jumping is off when you THINK that you're using the correct technique. I can't wait for the corked 5 tutorial.
@@El_Zalo100%!!! We will be using this information breakdown strategy for every video to come😁
Exactly, super useful. Honestly best content I've seen thus far and for me exactly when I'm looking to improve from jump to pop.
@@eazydpglad to hear it😁
So stoked on how this turned out!!!
Question 🙃 for these straight airs in the video I assume you want a flat base for take off correct?
Question is how do we apply the weight transfer and pop when start practicing for spins? As you approach in a more setup carve? 👀🙏
Thanks heaps!
@@leotigano2073I’ve found toe edge weight more than flat base helpful even with straight airs but curious how taevis feels
Travis, these breakdowns are incredible. Thank you for taking the time to go through this.
Love your teaching style brother. Thank you for this.
@@leotigano2073that will be covered in later videos since it’s super complex! But yes flat base with your weight set over your toes. Not so much you start to turn tho.
This is hands down the most meaningful tutorial on jumping basics I've ever found on YT in 10 years (including SA itself lol) -- please keep up with it, it's the kind of details we, the non-naturally-talented riders, need!
We will! We are planning on making every video in this series as high quality as this one!!!
Will do! The benefit if struggling to learn new tricks is you learn everything about the tricks.
So it’s not a bad thing, just a different learning process then some have!
I’ve been doing Back 7s for over 10 years and I’m still learning new things about them!
Stay at it and it will pay off💪
This is the best explanation of getting pop I have ever heard. A few youtubers i fully respect always say 2 feet extension so you don't ollie and catapult yourself forward. Love how you emphasized smoothness and subtle movements. I always found it weird to "pop" by too feet extending, i ride the warpig and started using the tail more like a skateboard to engage the carbon and its a game changer. Also your points about too much pressure on edge making you fall fwd or break at the hip is soo spot on. Keep it up with these types of breakdowns! Stoked to build this skill!
Stoked you enjoyed it!!! Many more to come💪
Absolutely one of the best instructional jumping videos I've seen on CZcams. Keep up with this awesome content.
Thank you!!! We will🙌🏻
Thanks, will do!!!
This SA video is poppin! This is the most comprehensible and detailed explanations on hitting jumps yet. And I've seen them all. Thank you Taevis!
We are stoked you liked it!!! Many more videos like this to come🙌🏻
❤️
+1 on that, just wanted to write the same exact comment 🤙
@@SimpleSoulsi appreciate that🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Who you calling out of control? Haha.
Loved this breakdown. Keep em coming!
That’s last year Ben, this years Ben crushed it!!! Haha
This video has helped me learn how to properly pop my board and given me to tools to understand what I’m doing hitting jumps and features. Thank you.
That’s so awesome, love to hear it!!!
I can confirm that riding boxes is the best test for keeping the stacked position. I started with those wide ones and used the moment when friction starts to move my weight slightly from front foot to stacked
Good man!
Best video on the topic ive seen to date
❤️
Now I have a lot of homework for the next seasons! Let's go!
We love to hear it!!!
best tips on the YT, technical, sequential, concise and clear.
Ah man this video is such a hard needed relieve for the snowboarding communicty. Finally a structured clarification on the 2 footed jump, pop and ollie. In my opinion the most confusion topic there has been in snowboarding. Thank you!
We are stoked to be able to clear this topic up and give a good insight into it!
More good stuff to come🙌🏻
This is the detailed learning content I was looking for and I'm glad to see everyone in the comments agrees. Thanks and please keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you guys for this content. It is so useful to see the whole movement breakdown. It is great! keep on the great work!
Stoked to hear it!!! More awesome content like this coming soon 🙏🏻
Amazing tutorials, I feel like no one explained this in as much detail as you did in this series and it’s still only episode 2. Keep up the good work guys 🤙
Glad you think so! :) We can't wait to share more episodes!
thank you Taevis you're a legend
Thank you!!!
Cheers for the information
I've never seen the pop explained this well. Nice job 👏🏽
Thank you!
Wow, thanks so much for this series. It would be awesome to see pop progression on some XS/S jumps as well. And/or the live coaching. Either way, I'm super grateful for this series. It's exactly what I need right now at my current level.
We have an intro to park live coaching tutorial coming out in only a few days, watch this space! :)
This is a great info/tutorial.
Thanks!
What an amazing breakdown! I've been wondering this for years and could never find an answer until now!
Can you do a video breaking down leaving the lip of the jump while initiating a spin? Thank you!
I see that you have those videos later in the series. Absolute 🔥
🙏🏻
That was SOOOO good! Top tutorial and honestly much better than part 1 in which many aspects were much more unclear than in this video. Part two could actually - for the most part - replace part 1, imho. Instant share, new fav tutorial video! Keep it up
Awesome, thank you!
We originally were not going to make Part 1, but we wanted to make a video that would be more suitable for someone who has never hit a jump before!
@@SnowboardAddictionI think some of the things mentioned in part 1 are absolutely critical and need to be spelled out for some people. The one tip that I 100% agreed with was that being able to straightline comfortably is a prerequisite for hitting park jumps. Every time you see a clip of an epic failure on a jump, you know how it's going to end up just from observing the riding leading up to it. I don't know why so many people think they are ready for jumps when they're still skidding every turn. But every time I've said this in online discussions, I've been accused of "gatekeeping" 🤷🏻♂️
@@El_Zaloyou gotta know how to snowboard before you should hit jumps!
Loving this series
Boom!
Everyone who wants to learn better park techniques should see this video!
Hey Taevis, thank you very much for your high quality tutorial series. I watched so many videos the last years, but in your videos I heard some information for the first time. Next week it’s time to send it in the beginner park in Austria for the first time over a jump. Did only side hits yet, but feel more confident now, very well explained. Greetz grom Germany, Marcus 🇩🇪
Great to hear! good luck, you got this:)
Thanks a lot!! Excellent tutorial🏔️🏂👌🏻
Totally useful information 🙏
This is actually incredibly helpful thanks guys going to work on my straight airs and grabs during these nice soft spring laps!
Awesome!
I am super impressed with the quality here, easily the best instructional video on jumping. I have a question that maybe you will answer in a later video: Basic rotations off jumps - how do you make sure that your rotation axis is correct? I've had a number of issues turning frontside where I end up leaning too far back - how do you set up your body during the pop to stay aligned while rotating? I think partly i'm leaning back because the lip is going up - when you take off, is your body perpendicular to the ramp? Or to the ground?
That is very complex, but will be covered deeply in the coming videos!
Basically it comes from body position head position take take-offs.
If you want help now join ADDICTION+ and you can talk to Taevis directly and submit videos for feedback.
Spins will be covered soon!
Do you ride with a flat base going into the jump and at the take off or do you keep slight pressure on either your Toe or Heel?
Slight pressure on the Toes. We talk all about it in EP 1 so go check that out!
Great tips went from hitting the m jumps in my park to hitting some of the L and Xl jumps my first season. Although gotta work on remembering to bend those knees cause sometimes I forget when I'm airborne and case the jumps.
Bend in the legs won't help much with caseing a jump or not, that comes from take-off and speed! happy we can help:)
wow, this has got to be the best explanation of popping I've ever seen. Amazing job SA!! Does this change when it comes to hitting halfpipe walls where you are forced to be on an edge?
Glad you liked it!!! 🙏🏻
In the Pipe you will see they go relatively flat based off the point of takeoff.
Half pipe is super complex, but too much edge is definitely a very common issue!
Thank you for the in-depth jump video Taevis! Question here please, when we shift the center of gravity from the middle to the back foot at the end of the take off (when half of the board is out the lip and the latter half is still in contact with the lip), do we push off the back foot and bring the front foot up like an ollie, or do we still focus on pushing evenly through both feet throughout the whole process with just an emphasis of leaving the weight a bit on the back foot to snap the tail? also, do you bring the board under you or the angle of the jump automatically brings your weight towards the back foot?
I know you mention to not counter balance in the video, but when I go off jumps larger than Ms, I did my front shoulder a bit to stay level and not stay heavy back seated, would that be bad technique as it's not a stacked stance?
Do we apply the same technique for street features approach where we come from the side? or do we just do a normal ollie?
Also, how are we to implement this method on spins if we are to push off more off the back foot?
Regarding the previous video you made, you mentioned putting a bit more pressure on the balls of the feet. Going off a L jump one time, I did that instead of going a bit more flatbased, but then i accidentally gained backside momentum because of a bit of edge and slammed. Is there a tip as well to avoid unintentional rotation? (aside from the stacked position?)
Thank you so much once again, I was really glad to see such an in-depth video, I always thought pop meant just pushing evenly off both feet from the jump when watching the previous SA videos (from the first ones to now) all these years. It will be tough to modify this habit I built, but glad to learn i can improve my jump technique!
Happy to help!!! You should really join ADDIXTION+ since we can help you a lot more there.
But you don’t want to be lifting or dropping your front foot, the key is staying stacked and having your board match the angle of the jump.
To do this we need to shift our weight slightly to our back foot.
Check out the box section again because that is how we explain it.
And you want to be fully stacked, no leaning any of the 4 ways, your body should be set over the balls of your feet.
If you are carving that means you are leaning forward and are not stacked over the balls of your feet.
Join addiction+ if you still need more help!!!!
Amazing info and one of my fav videos to date! Based on the explanation it seems like POP is what you want to used the overwhelming majority of the time where 2 foot and ollies have more specific use cases? Is that correct?
Yes exactly.
We only ever 2 footed jump when hopping up hills really.
But Ollie’s are great for side hits, rollers cliffs esc.
But for tricks and park POP is the king.
Of the three methods described in this video, a two foot jump is generally the least efficient way to generate pop on a snowboard, as Taevis descibes in the video using a combination of both a jump with an ollie to maximise air and control. Anywhere you can use a two footed jump you should be able to generate pop using a mircro ollie, Hope this helps. :)
@@SnowboardAddictionit does! Thank you for clarifying!!
Great vid, if not the best. The demos are on large Ms or Ls. Tough for a beginner to visualise this on the S line.
These are the smallest jumps we had access to haha
I watched the video several times to study the body movement. Arms position when doing the pop is what I never really gave attention to. Now I noticed that you're keeping your arms in the middle and over the board when crunching. I tried to keep them too much to the front and back which kind of screws my waist alignment once I started to push/pop/jump
Great observation! That should help you get your straight airs to the next level💪
Wow man this is grade A stuff right here I kinda been doing what your saying without even thinking about it
Right on!
have a questions about the knees. From what I can see (maybe i might be mistaken) the knees are pointed inwards , instead of neutral or outwards during the jump. For example at 5:34. Is this "the way" or is something that each need to find for himself ?
PS
SUUUUPER detail and useful breakdown!! KUDOS!
Kneews should be neutral and stacked. Taevis is Bow legged so he’s knees come in a bit.
So a little bit is fine, but your aiming for your knees to me pointed straight.
@@SnowboardAddiction Thank you for the quick reply, much appreciated! Will try to keep them neutral;) love u
I was breaking at the waist, bending too much, and sucking up knees too early, need to practice to time that full extension n tail snap. When I tried to tail snap, I was often too early or too late , there is a millisecond to snap the tail, full extend body at the tip of the kicker. I guess just a lot more practice
It is a hard thing to do, keep at it!!!
What about with frontside spins when you're so suppose to be taking off from a heal side carve?
We will be covering that in the 180 to 1080 Frontside spins tutorials.
If you need help now check out ADDICTION+ since it’s too complex to answer in a comment:)
We be covered, but yes. Heal edge is the go to take-off on Frontside spins
When you mention the weight shift to your back foot during the pop, is that something you do intentionally or is the weight shift caused by the angle of the jump?
It’s done through your pop, that’s why we work on the micro Ollie.
The goal is to keep your board on the same arc as the take-off and the only way to do this is with that slight tranfer of weight. Check out ADDICTION+ for more details!
Question on breaking at the waist line. Is it the same as folding your body and bringing your chest closer to your knees? Coz I see a lot of pros fold their upper body before take off and you did it before take off as well. So I’m not sure what you mean by we shouldn’t break at waist line. Thanks for the great video!
We talk about this more in future videos, but bending down is ok, it’s when your upper body hinges forward setting your weight too much over your toe edge.
Think about squatting down with weight.
Your chest moves forward, but if you hinge forward the weight will make you fall forward.
@@SnowboardAddiction Thanks for the response man! I’m sure these new series of videos and how you guys are responding to every comment will go a long way! The effort that’s been put into this will not be unseen by the people!
07:13 holy moly, that was a STYLISH and sexy grab!
I havent dared hitting bigger jumps for at least 15+ years, only cus of 1 mistake 1 time :P Watching this video, it's definitely easy to see how many mistakes I did. I definitely did a two foot jump and lost A LOT of control immediately, open up my hip as well, so went in like a superman landing on my stomach :P Also, I am 100% sure I was waaaay on my toeside, so it was doomed before I even got to the jump :P And I never saw anyone hit the jump either, so had NO idea how much speed to use (yes, I had too much speed as well xD)
After that, got too scared to ever hit a jump that is even smaller than the one at 05:36.. Man, to be young and fearless again.
Jumping is all about planning and getting into the proper position! Work on getting that stacked form and leaning the jumps and we are sure you could catch air again😁
Wondering about spins, we dont want to open our hips on jumps? So are we stacked and turning on the jump or is it more in the shoulders?
We will cover that in the spinning tutorials that are coming soon! you can get the new content first on ADDICTION+
We have 15 videos on spinning in the world from 180s to 1080s. Everything will be covered in those:)
So when it comes to doing the full motion of ollie, it's mostly done in rollers and side hits?
Generally rollers and sidehits will give you slightly less pop naturally compared to a shaped park jump, this means you may have to generate more pop using an ollie. :)
Yes exactly! Or whenever you have time to fully load up and pop you can use it. So like powder cliffs and other things.
An Ollie will give you the most hight, but that doesn’t mean it’s particle to use in every situation.
And it gets diminishing returns the bigger the feature is.
Do you think a symetrical stance will aid being perfectly stacked...I ride 15 9 but thinking to switch to 12 12 for jump learning progression?
Most of the SA team ride 12 9 which gives you the ideal combination of a slightly directional feel whilst still being able to ride switch, riding 12 12 is only beneficial when starting to learn to ride switch. Your stance does not directly affect your ability to be stacked on your board (unless your riding posi posi 😉)
@@SnowboardAddiction Thank you!
Do you actually slightly shift the board forward when you are on the lip for the pop? In my experience that can cause backseating. I always pop more or less centered and the angle of the lip make my center of mass fall on my back foot and I pop off it.
No shifting the board forward.
You are just making sure you make contact with the snow the whole time, and the only way to do that is to change your center of mass to your back foot.
Should not be a shift forward motion. Instead you are just keeping contact with the snow.
I’m over spinning my backside rotations. How do I slow them down and more controlled?
Edit: I’m hitting the bigger jumps. I was used to smaller ones and Idk how to backside spin without winding up. I try 3 but go 5.

That stiffy was sick bro
Thanks man!
Sweet mute man
The term POP came from skateboarding. As a skater (20+ years) and snowboarder (8 years) I would say that for snowboarding it's bullshit. For skateboarding, it's hitting the tail against the surface when doing an ollie. Obviously a fresh board pops better, easier to jump higher. Also, there's also the intricacies of where to apply leverage with your foot specifically to pop harder.
Again, imho, in snowboarding it's just ponts and nonsense. No amount of technology or board stiffness will let you jump higher. Tutorials like this say that you should pull the board forward so that your pelvis is above the tale, and then supposedly lift the noose, and the flexibility of the board will throw you up. In reality, you'll just spend more energy than just jumping out with your shoulders and tucking your legs.
Sorry, You do not know how snowboard jumping works. But you can change that with ADDICTION+!!! Go check it out and improve your riding today!
Popping is a common term and the board you use makes a massive difference.
And utilizing your full board is what makes a good jumper great!
the term does comes from skateboarding, like most of our terms:)
@@SnowboardAddiction Poor arguments. There is no height difference between the two methods in the video. Hopefully one day you will realize that bullshit.
@@azizakhmedov come to whistler hit the same jump as me and I promise you will see and anyone else will easily see the difference.
Your plain wrong.
If you still think your right submit a video of any of your jumps and we will post it and compare it.
If you you get more air then me because of Take-off form I will quit snowboarding.
You can have your opinions, but be ready to back them up.
Again, I will quit snowboarding if you can prove you have better POP then me, what should be easy since POP doesn’t exist.
Your move😂
My DMs are open.
Taevis called you out. We back his statement.
We say what we say because it’s true and the best principles to use and are ready to back that up.
We have been jumping twice as long as you have been snowboarding and our confidence in what this video teaches.
@@Taevis-Kapalkahey hey, I'd love to ride with you at Whistler, I'm from WA! I still got 2 days left on my edge card 😅
Best tutorial I’ve seen in a minute! 🙌🏻🏂💨
Wow, thanks!
