As for the controls, it is a fairly common complaint so I think it's justifiable to assume things will probably get tightened up. In the meantime however you do get used to them. Timing the jump is tough at first because it does feel like you have to release earlier than maybe you should. My 2 biggest tips are:
1. Don't hold up on the left stick. It will screw up your jump every time.
2. Speed really matters. The game is meant to punish you if you go too fast. In real life the faster you go the less control you have and the surface youre on also effects control severely. Watch the documentary higher on Netflix and you'll see what I mean. The tip is to speed check with the right analog stick to help control the g meter. After a big slope or big jump press down on the right stick to turn your board sideways and you'll slow down just enough to gain control back. You see it in real life all the time in the xgames or dew tour before guys do jumps to control speed. You cannot just go full boar down the mountain like ssx in this game and honestly that's a good thing.
I've done ok with the jumps, because the game tells you right away what the ideal release point is. And yeah, slowing down is crucial, especially if you want any chance of doing grinds, or if you're on a bumpier part of the mountain. I typically only press up on the LS when I have a clear path to a decent jump, and even then I let go of it well before I hit the ramp so I have time to get myself set for the trick.

Now if I could just teach my brain to stop doing the same tricks over and over, lol.
