Can't really tell you how to hillclimb, it's one of those things that you learn from doing and watching others. So until th snow flies buy a couple videos and watch the pro's. As for the jumping all you need is some balls

Haha well I've heard that with like the 30 footers you need to be on the break at some points and on the gas at others so u can stay stable, does anyone know about that?

To plane out, throttle brings your *** down and brake brings it up.

It's pitch control. Jumps bigger then 4-5 sled lengths and large drops will require some control while hanging in the air! Throttle will raise the nose. Brake will drop the nose. Start small and work up to the big air!

Deep powder climbing tip that works for me - As you hit the bottom of the hill, ease into the throttle, quickly pull back on the handle bars and lean back heavy till the nose pops up out of the snow then lean forward and hammer it!
Keep the nose low and weighting the front of the sled till you blow over the top! Make sure you know whats on top and over the back side of any climb or IT COULD BE YOUR LAST!

Well my biggest cornis jump was about 5 or 6 feet feet but I'm going bigger next year, I've heard not to lean forward, but to actually let the front end come off the ground because it's easier to make quick discisiouns, is this true?
Thanks

What everyone is saying it about all the info that you need. Knowing when to give it gas and when to tap the brake will come once you start doing it more. Just make sure you give it enough gas when you go off becuase it is easier to bring the front down than up!
