Default Tips for Jumping

I got in to kiting about a month and a half ago and I'm hooked. I just had my third set on Sunday afternoon and finally nailed down going upwind 100% (on the board AND bodydragging) and because of that, I was comfortable for the first time trying small jumps. I only had a few good ones and the others I would tend to roll a bit and fall on my back.

Any tips at all for learning how to jump and stay facing the right direction? Also, what about jumps combined with turns/jibes? I had much less trouble jumping and then continuing in the same direction, but had problems when trying to combine the jump with a turn. Is this actually more difficult or just kind of in my head?

Thanks!
-Charlie
