Pretty new to jumping mountain bikes and have always been bit afraid of being in the air, but still trying to improve. For some reason my jumps seem to always do the dead sailor and bike kust does whatever. From this clip do you see anything obvious that i could try to correct?

Well, you lived so it’s all good but you need to watch this: https://youtu.be/_frRzPRnOPY?si=VyI2zxdBh_BocsnT
Looks like you dont jump that good. If it wasnt the wind (it wasnt) just practice more, be more relaxed and keep your weight more centered
Also you need more control if it goes whereever, pull the bar closer to your chest even or just mov ethe bike anywhere to gain control of what it does in the air. That way youll learn whips in time
It could be one arm is stronger than the other so when you pull up on takeoff you pull lopsided. Practice relaxing your arms so they aren’t fully locked when taking off and pulling evenly by doing wheelies or manuals. I get this happen to me sometimes when I wheelie with my arms extended, I’m right handed, so I naturally pull to the right
