    Depends if you want to do a "heal clicker" off the jump or not. When I ride up rocks up hill sometimes I like to wheellie and sitting is best for that.(low speed)

    you can jump sitting down, but its not a very good idea IMO. I almost always stand whether its a big jump or just something like a log hop.

    Seat bouncing gives you extra lift, so if the gap is big and the run is short it's a must. I wouldn't recomend trying it right away though, it's a fine line to stay balanced on.

    Always stand, unless you feel like getting catapulted off the seat up over your bars.
