Why can't I f****** jump in Mario Kart!?

[FP]

I have owned my Mario Kart Wii for many many months now. I haven't played it in about 6 months however. I fired it up tonight with some local friends and I can't figure out how to jump/power slide. It worked last time I played but this time no button will jump. wtf?!

Anyone have any ideas?

You set your player to Automatic and not Manual drift.
