Hi JT, Welcome to the forums.  You might want to get into carving and start doing jumps off rollers.

You can do an ollie off a roller first.  Heck, bring a shovel and build a kicker over a roller for all I care.  Just make sure you are confident you can do it safely.  If not, start small and progress your way up.

We do our very best to keep this site clean.  If you notice anything trashy please PM me ASAP.  As for the jump, first try some basic ollies just in the flats, like at the bottom of a run.  Then, once you get the feel for that, find a nice roller on the hill that will provide you more air time while boosting from.  Almost all jumps require some sort of ollie or boost move from the lip.  Ensure a smooth landing by scoping out the junp first before hitting it.  The landing should be sloping downwards.  Jump selection is crucial.  Don't be fooled, very experienced snowboarders make it look too easy sometimes, but be assured they have put in all their time scoping the hits.
