First time hitting a dirt jump, working on form and technique before i go to an actual line. Any tips to go higher? I keep losing speed before i leave the jump.
Just start going faster and faster, maybe start pulling up off the ramp a bit that will get you more high in a basic sense

Good stuff man! I think one issue is you’re squashing the lip. Basically sucking it up with your arms, which I think is just instinctual when you start jumping.
The issue when you do this is your back end can buck you off the bike. You can see that happen in your clip where the front end drops

The answer is always more speed no matter how you make it happen. You could definitely get one more pedal rotation in the short approach to the jump.

You’re not pumping and using the lip. Pause the clip at the top of the lip. Bars should be at the hips, legs should be straight
