Send it. Only gonna be able to hit them better if your more comfortable
It might be worth taking a class on jumping while at Whistler to get you comfy.
You’re not really doing too much right now on the lip, just more of a passenger along for the ride, and you don’t appear to be pumping the roller before the jump to get the speed you need to clear it. You’re trying to force the issue and yank the bike a bit once you’ve gotten over the lip.
A good video series to watch on YouTube is from The Shred Academy or Ben Cathro’s how to bike series.
You’re doing great for where you are in your journey.
When riding a Knolly just hold on, avoid braking, and the bike will do all the things.
Awesome for your first session on jumps! I’d put some work into pumping. Learn it or get more comfortable doing it, it’ll really help with body position and timing on jumps.
It doesn’t look bad, but I’d spend some effort learning a better body position (hinge not crouch) and learn to pump. Then you’ll really send it.
