heres the deal, im pretty handy with everything on my bike but i have yet to mess with spokes on wheels... i just got my bike tuned up because i had some rediculously loose spokes and i jumped a few 8 foot stair sets yesterday and now i have loose spokes again... the wheel is true still if thats a question...
Spoke tensions

You've probably flat spotted the rim a bit in the area of the loose spokes. Or at least unloaded the rim (on landing) enough there to allow the nipples to unscrew (loosen).
Which will not happen if the wheel is tensioned properly in the first place.
Exactly....take it back to the shop you got them tensioned at and tell them to do it again, but correctly this time. If they cant do it properly, buy yourself the proper size spoke wrench, get them tensioned then back each nipple back off about a 1/8th to 1/4 turn.
