This was my first time hitting the trail, but what should I be focusing on for that big compression? Was my body positioning proper because I look pretty wack.
How do I tackle this steep spot faster?

Push into the drop-offs will help. Side note- how do you like the uncaged? Thinking of picking one up
Let off the brakes, pre load a bit before that step and drop off of it instead of nosing down.
It’d be good to practice drops in a mellower environment before trying this one as it is in a tricky spot.
Looks like some peeps answered your questions in detail, but Iād also suggest more speed š»
Send it! Honestly if you pull up as you approach and do more of a drop with some speed, so you land on both wheels at the same time, you could do it much faster. As someone else said, make sure your drop game is on before proceeding with this recommendation.
I’d just get a big run up… š
I’m talking too much speed, š¤
THen do your best.š¤
This does not always pan out well for me. But I would not recommend something that I would not be willing to do myself.
Don’t let fear hold you back.

We don’t ride to be stay in our comfort zone, to be safe and warm.
We ride for the thrill of it. The rush of adrililen.
Whoop, whoop… keep on pushing on
