The double after was bigger than I expected and I think I misjudged the lip, or didn't have enough speed. I didn't want to land the drop too deep cuz that also zaps speed for the jump.
Advice from better riders welcome, I intend to go back and try again when I'm healed 👌

Damn what a brutal feature. Not how I’d build that line if I intended for anyone but pros to hit it. At a minimum it would be a tapered landing ramp that’s a big hump for exactly this scenario.
Looks like you just missed the lip and popped too early. You setup pretty well for it after the gap.
Good luck with the recovery! I wouldn’t overthink it when you get back to it.
Why is there a bigger table on the take-off than on the landing
you basically ran in to the second jump with no pre loading body english. after having a bit of a pucker on the first gap/landing. you locked up, were stood too tall going into the second jump (it came up quick) and at least tried a mini compression but it was already too late
meaning instead of compressing into the ramp and being ~at compression once leaving the lip. you were at basically sag on the ramp, and only entered compression at the end of the lip, putting force into the rear of your bike, causing a general rebounding effect. of your weighting, not like your shocks rebound.
kind of a herky jerky, i leaned too far back with stiff limbs thing… now my weight is shooting forward, equal and opposite reaction type stuff
