How to pop higher? Is hard to pop, is it necessary to practice jump with a small kicker or bumps?
Also, I can't pop out when I box sliding
Any suggestion to improve or practice?

It's probably your boots. I'd get full tilts if I were you.

its just timing. Last season I could barely pop a 45 flat but now I can pop 180s sometimes. Just practice.

About the boot? I just feel I can't use power to jump when I'm sliding on the box.

What helped me when I was learning top pop my skis was to get comfortable shifting your weight from front to back and also sucking up your knees as you attempt to pop if you just try and nollie and Ollie off of everything for a day you'll get used to the whole idea of flexing your skis

It's not your boot lol. Unless your boots are fit awfully they shouldn't be the difference. Just practice I guess.

When you are ski sliding a box you just have to suck up your knees and jump and that's basically the pop out and it's all about shifting weight and sucking up your knees to initiate a higher pop

Yeah leaning back to flex the ski is key to the pop with out it you'll basically be jumping with just your leg strength and you will not get to far with that

Ride up to your feature, or off, with a "stacked" stance. To do that you need lean almost as far forward as you can, then you bend your knees so your butt is aligned with your heels, and bend your hips so your chest is aligned with your feet. Then once you get to the feature/ the end of the feature, jump and stick your hips out, completely straightening yourself out. Although this might not sound like the best looking, if you work on it, it will get pretty steezy. Hope I could help.
