First time doing a step up.
Other than going too fast and my body getting pushed into the bike from the force is there anything else I did wrong?

You didn’t pull up, the jump rode you, you didn’t ride the jump. Take control of your bike
If you look closely it seems like you went over the handlebars instead of staying on the bike
You were too close to your buddy and not fully focused on the task at hand.
Being all scrunched down into the bike at takeoff is always trouble.
It’s lacking a burning hay bale half way through thats doused in petrol for added effect.
You leaned too far back on your bike, this causes forward rotation aka dead sailor.
That’s an incredibly steep lip to be riding for your first step up. Not at all surprised that you messed something up.
Watch what your friend did and what you did. Completely different body position and movement (or lack thereof on your part).
It’s MTB not OTB
You french fried when you should have pizzaed.
When you passively ride a jump, sometimes you ‘pop’ the rear wheel instead of the front.
Basically, you started to squash the jump, then didn’t…
I think you crashed
Looks like you tried something well beyond your skill level.
You let your legs collapse on you. Pause the video as you are coming up and you’ll see it
🎵Stand up to the jump 🎶
You need to preload the bike push into the takeoff at the bottom so when you get to the top of the lip your suspension doesn’t buck you

You were on the saddle by the time you took off. See how your body was on his feet just before he did it.
If you’re going to try flips, I would try a backflip first, they are much easier

See how your friend is standing up while riding up the face, giving the bike area to pop off the lip underneath him.
1st guy: good body position, not enough speed. 2nd guy: bad body position, good speed.
Dead sailor 🫡
Your arms bent. Your legs stayed straight. Basically you boosted your botty and absorbed your front end. Back went up and front didnt

Tern the dampening on your suspension all the way up. You got bucked from the rebound. Also if you feel the nose dive in the air pull your back brakes it will help
