Hopping help

I’m a beginer (about 1 month). I can ride/hop down about an 8 inch ledge, and I can consitantly land 180’s. I’ve tried hopping onto boards and little ledges, but I just can’t get it. Is it easeir to hop onto things by holding the saddle handle, or holding the rear of the saddle?

at first its easier to hop holding the saddle handle, but once u get the feel of hopping hoilding with the seat out in front(holding rear of saddle) u can jump so much easier and higher and u can do more tricks with seat in front
