    obviously, the first step is seat out. rather than jump from
    the ground, work on "snapping the tire," meaning use the air
    pressure to your advantage. give a short but strong kick
    downwards and the wheel will bounce on its own. then, work
    on tucking the wheel under you. dont try to go too high at
    once, work at it inch by inch so you will keep your balance
    and your feet will stay on the pedals. in the air, tilt the
    bottom of the wheel towards the obstacle. look at the post
    "hopping consistancy" for more tips (sorry, i wont give you
    a link, too lazy).

    a picnic table is nothing, even i can hop on a picnic table.
    ive seen ryan and kris hopping on a 3 foot box at motorama
    this year. now thats high.
