How to unlock the My Brother is an Italian Plumber achievement in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide
You can weaken the skag first.
It appears that your level does not impact the damage you cause by jumping on enemies.
Zed sends you on a mission early on to kill 5 of them. So go ahead and kill some until one is left alive and jump on them. It takes around 8 "hits" to kill a small skag from 100% health. You can also shoot them once, a critical hit will result on a one shot kill though.
The easiest enemies to do this on are the pup Skaggs, as they won't be trying to shoot you back whilst you attempt to do it. You can find of these enemies outside the gates of Fyrestone. When the Skaggs attack, kill them all except for one pup, shoot/melee attack it until it's health is as low as possible without actually killing it, and then jump on its head.
The jumps do very little damage, so this might require quite a few jumps for you to get it done.
Find a pack of level 5-ish skrags, shoot one a couple of times with the low-level pistol to reduce its health to single digits, then jump on that skrag. Jumping deals a small amount of damage. Kill the enemy with this damage to unlock the achievement.
To get this you have to kill an enemy by jumping on it. The simplest way is to Melee a Pup Skag until it has very little health left, then keep jumping on it until it dies. You will likely get bounced off so keep jumping in different directions. At a lower level it will take quite a long time to kill a Skag by jumping on it (low damage and it keeps moving a lot) so we recommend doing this when you are at a higher level. An easier enemy would be a Spiderant since it doesn't move as much.
Another way to get this is to start a Splitscreen game with a really low level character (e.g. level 2) as Player 1 and a high level (e.g. level 10) as Player 2, then go to the Skag den just outside of Fyrestone and jump on a Skag. By doing it this way, one or two jumps should kill a Skag and make the trophy pop. The earliest you can get this is during the mission "Skags At The Gate". You can also do this later on in the game with the small Sythids and Spiderants.

To unlock this you need to jump on an enemy's head to kill it. The damage you do with this is miniscule so you will be better off shooting an enemy first to get their health really low, then jumping on their head to finish them off. It can be finicky whether it registers so just keep trying to land the jump. I found this easier on a skag at the start of the game since they run right up to you to attack.
