Try dropping from something big enough where the seat hits your guy and your ass is on the rear wheel...

When jumping and hitting some drops, it's a good idea to drop your saddle height a couple of inches. I drop mine down as low as possible. This makes the XC portion more of a pain, but it's sooooo much sweeter during the jumps!
