There are a couple of things key to skiing bumps.

Pole Plants. These set your tempo for the turns. Proper pole plants also help you keep your hands in front of you. You have to treat your poles like your gear shift in a car, it will allow you to "up shift" to accelerate and "down shift" to decelerator.

Momentum. Momentum is your friend in the bumps, it allows you to flow for one mogul to the next.
