as far as the jumping i used to have the same problem. the cure is to hit the gas right before you go off the jump. the bigger the jump: the more gas you give it. if you give it too much, you do just the opposit, you stand up and land on the rear tires hard. I just learned this a little bit ago from the sport riders and it works on all machines. you just have to get used to how fast, how much to give it, and when to give it the gas. just start on small jumps slowly and work your way up. that's all that's to it.
