I been teaching my self to MTB for about 1.5 years. I picked up a MTB friend and since he sends it I been listening.
But now we have come to a disagreement. He thinks I should press on suspension just before dropping to keep my wheel up. I tried it, timed it wrong and almost had an accident. I just go, and it works for me I think. I had my wife record me.
This is how I do them now.

Every size drop is the same technique as a curb. Every speed decides whether you need to pop or even bunny hop to get out of a jam.

Hard to tell from vid but looks like you need to bring weight slightly forward and down. You don’t look sketchy enough that I wouldn’t want to ride with you so good enough lol.

Duthie!
Taking the reflectors off makes drops easier.
