Thoughts? What do you think were my mistakes, it should be clarified that I still don't have the correct technique to be able to jump well

Your upper body isn’t strong enough to deal with the impact, you folded like an ironing board. Get ye to the gym.
It’s hard to tell from the pov. A third-person view would be much more informative. For all we know, you hit the jump sitting down 🤷
A classical bucking.
You’ve hesitated and back your body out. (put your weight toward the back)
Next time focus on keeping your body central or even a bit forward.
Very limited info, but, your weight was probably too far back.
The way you came off the lip it looks like you compressed into the face, which threw your weight forward, and got launched nose first by your suspension rebounding.
Stay neutral, keep your heels down.
Take a lesson at a lift served bike park. Professional instruction and laps are so much better than the internet.
Panic on the take-off.
Either fully commit, or set yourself to absorb the take-off and keep your wheels on the ground
I agree with the others but add that I see two additional things:
– Finger on the front brake (possibly squeezed) during landing while weight shifting frontward.
– And the handlebars turn sharply to the right effectively adding a catapult effect.
I know that jump, tricks many ppl, It’s a fairly long jump with a rather short face, lot of things went wrong on that one
I think FireWithin pretty much nailed it, but I’ll add that this jump has probably one of the largest gaps on the mountain. I personally didn’t really go for this one until I was clearing lower dominion. The jumps on lower d aren’t as big gap-wise but are lippier and will kind of force you to learn good technique. They are also definitely more case friendly (Except maybe the last one).
This jump has always been bucky as fuck. I literally hit anthem so I don’t have to hit it
Really entered the twilight zone there at the end.Â
