Going off of them is a great place to start.

This is only about 10% true. You need an XXL jacket with a basketball jersey over it before you even think about going in the park

Growing a pair is usually the first, essential step.

just go for it. the worst that happens is you break something......

Visualize, visualize, visualize---go thru in your mind how you will see yourself hitting a jump. To get a good idea of how, watch a video and still frame advance it, frame by frame.
Imagine doing it. See it in your mind.
Get to the hill, pull off the side, revisualize, block out everything, then hit the gas.
When you are about 20 feet from takeoff crouch down low with knees fully bent, but keep your back straight--like you are crouching--lead shoulder hand out in front, trailing hand almost in front, just off to the side a bit---NEVER behind you. At first just go off the lip with legs bent--keep your legs sucked up into your chest for as long as possible, as you approach landing, start bringing them down to land. Upon takeoff start looking at your landing, block everything else out, stick it. Repeat it all day, same thing, gain confidence. I used to hit the kicker, then hike back up for another one--2 or 3 times before riding down for a bit of a break. Practice...... Start small, then progress. When you eat ***, suck it up, try again. Frustrated, take a freeride run, work on some other stuff, then go back hard.

We have a pretty good first jump video up.  It should give you some good tips.
