Hi all,
This post is not about the fact I preloaded too early and did not pop/pull at all to create an arc (aware, was 2nd day of bikepark and hitting this for the first time. It's above my comfort zone and skill atm, I survived)

Post is to seek advice from people who understand suspension setup more.

The bike is Swoop 9 AL (Enduro) with 170/170mm travel. I'm 75kg, 1 token, correct sag, recommended clicks from Fox.
HSC – 5
LSC – 10 (- changed to 8 to allow fork eat more smaller chunk on this trail – it's very very rooty and with many step downs)
HSR – 4
LSR – 5

My question is: is it normal that Fork didn't have enough time to rebound after the initial landing before hitting the root and fully compress. I held it ok, didn't collapse on the bike, but you can clearly see in slow mo it was bottomed out.

Precious to this trail I did quite a big drop and fork was okay, didn't bottom out (for reference)

So is it okay or should I do a click or two on LSR to open rebound slightly and give more compression (+1) on HSC?
