Stood up to the jump.
Looks good to me.
Looks like good form. Not an expert but pop / stand motion could be a tad later. You will go higher not further though
You’ve started expanding way too early, before even your front wheel started to leave the lip
Pretty good, but try to stand up slightly later, and don’t lean as far forward when you stand up
You’re airing off the lip and landing smoothly down the transition but your form is NOT good.
You’re doing the right thing springing up with your legs but the timing is off. Your legs should be pretty much fully extended right as you leave the lip. Same story with your arms. You’re pulling up and in to your chest/waist perfectly but it’s too early. You’re dropping the bars back down before you’ve even left the dirt. In effect, you’re keeping it low over the jump, but you won’t be in control this way and landing with bent legs means you have no margin for error.
This is likely a response to being scared to go up high on a steep lip like this (common for beginners). You need to come in faster, accept the steep lip, spring up and pull up at the right time, and mentally prepare yourself to shoot up high, but trust me, it’ll feel safer when you get it.
Honestly, this jump kinda looks like ass. The lip isn’t consistent, and it steepens a lot at the end. I dont think your technique is that bad it’s just a matter if practice and becoming more familiar with the jump and your skills.
