I was ranked quite high in the ski jump like #60, then I didn't play it for months now I'm like 200 and something. Well there is a method...

First if we're talking original ski jump here, of course use dpad.
Second is lean and hold forward out of the gate, and then slowly by tapping back, go into a wheelie, when you see that your front tire is high enough to clear the ramp, bring the front down hard. A lot of times this causes the bike to explode which seems to help. So if you time it right bailing out just ahead of the explosion you will go flying. Hopefully well past my now defunct 201.69 meters.
