Yesterday I posted a video of me trying to jump actively and asked for your tips. The most important thing was that I was preloading incorrectly, precisely I wasn‘t applying enough pressure with my legs which caused me being bucked forward.
So today I worked on this and it helped me so much! I know I am far away from the perfect jumping technique but today was a really big improvement for me. This jump always felt really sketchy and scary but I felt so much more comfortable today once I focused on applying pressure with my legs before the takeoff. I even managed to do a little bar twisting thingy which felt kinda rad.
So anyway, I really appreciate the advice you guys gave and maybe someone else can profit from my learning experience. As always feel free to critisize, I‘m happy for every advice.
P.S. I learned that it‘s easy to forget that you‘re supposed to be jumping first and THEN AFTER properly jumping do some fancy stuff in the air as you can see by me sailing dead through the air in the last clip

I have one tip too. Look at your feet. They are leveld. Put your heels down. That way you shift your weight more to the back. The way the Front snaps towards you is not good.
