You are doing mostly the right things but the timing is off. You are hitting full compression and popping too early and it’s resulting in you getting bucked forward. If you slow it down, on every jump, you’ve hit full compression and are already fully extended in your body and legs before the front wheel reaches the lip and by the time the reach wheel is leaving the lip, you’re already sucking the bike up under you. Instead you should be compressing all the way through the lip until the back wheel is at the very top of the jump. It’s not a big deal on a jump this size but on a big jump with a poppy lip, it could mean nosediving and a bad crash.

You’re extending through your legs a bit early. Its especially noticeable in the first clip. Your rear wheel is still at the bottom of the take off and your legs are completely straight. Try slowing the timing down a bit, use the whole take off and fully push into the legs as the rear wheel leaves the lip of the take off. Also, slow down the approach speed. You land deep and front wheel heavy, deep because of the speed, nose heavy because of the bad timing with the legs on the take off. I’m being picky though, Looks pretty good though TBH.
