I think you can actively focus on riding smoother to be honest. I know that style is harder to adapt and get "better" but you can always tell yourself what smooth riding is. Its sounds a bit contradictory, i know, the only example I can give is, what looks smoother, sidehopping to front wheel, or both? Both looks better, so you tell yourself "Im not going to use the front wheel" and try that way Going bigger is easier to do, that doesn't mean its easy though.
