Overshooting isn’t the problem here. You need to lean back more. If this was a bigger jump, you would’ve gone over the handlebars.
Yes. You are leaning into the bars as you hit the ramp. You need to lean back a little, and essentially bunny hop so you are pushing your body up, instead of having the ramp and bike slam you up, if that makes sense.
Never mind the jump, I would worry about getting my head taken off by that tree.
A better built jump would help by the looks of it
Lean back more and dig your heals in (imagine trying to drag them behind the pedals).
Stay leaning back, standing upright and dug in, right upto the lip – you dampen the jump by beginning your crouch a little too early.
Try to keep your feet balanced – you dropped your right foot before landing, keeping them even will improve your landing and stability.
You should work on popping off the lip. Right now you’re going off the jump- you need to *jump* off the jump. Practice bunny hopping on the flat ground, translate it to the trail
compress fork and elbow right before entering the ramp, then extend legs and pull handle bar
Push through the entire transition, until your back wheel is off the lip. You absorb it, you don’t push all the way through, so the lip catches your back wheel and gives you a nice buck. A little bit faster, and that would be an OTB.
