Bought a Full susp and started riding It for a month now, i had an XC entry bike before but It was for urban/daily rides. This was my First jump, and the reception(?) was pretty steep, in my Head It seemed much bigger 😂 any tips appreciated.

Great job! More of a drop, tho!
You made the grave mistake of letting the bike come at you at the lip, which would totally result in a buck and crash if you were going faster. Check out this video by Alan too see how that works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_frRzPRnOPY
Plus this being a drop, you’re supposed to do it a bit differently, but for now you should REALLY REALLY invest in a full-face helmet if you want to do stuff like this.
Yeah, that’s always the same with jumps. It feels like you are flying like the guys from Hardline, but when you see the video, it looks like you never left the ground.
Dude you sent it! First one is the hardest!
You should practice your drops on some curbs and then rail that with a bit more speed and you’ll get a TON more air!
Terminology wise ‘Reception’ is often referred to as the transition or landing.
Looks like a real jump to me! Looked pretty controlled aswell, the bike wasn’t rotating forwards or backwards in the air and landed solid with two wheels, for me that’s the most important measure when learning someone to jump ( the fact that it looks under control).
