Tried my hardest to not be another 'Jump video help please' but I'm starting to get frustrated and could really do with some outside tips. Just for reference I've had coaching and its been night and day difference, but I wish to practice outside of coaching too.
This is just a short video of multi-able jump attempts. I'm struggling to see what I'm doing wrong now and could do with some guidance. I still case jumps, I don't get much 'height' and sometimes just feels off. I'm unsure if its timing, speed, or something else. I don't want to start blaming my weight but I'm pretty light weight at 56kg, as you can see from the videos I'm moving at a decent speed and that should be enough to clear?

technique does not matter if there is no speed to support it, so more speed.
You need to preload the transition on take off (research this) a firm push against the face of the jump to set the tires and control the takeoff. You need a bit more speed . Have to , repeat have to …..relax. You can’t jump all tight and frustrated. You have to be loose. Relax and hit it a hundred more times. Frustration from not being able to do something very dangerous can lead to poor decisions. If you love riding, take a step back and enjoy riding. The rest will fall into place.
Last , if you are able to, ride with others. You’ll find your speed increase considerably.
The jump is too small to do much with, you need a longer/bigger lip to have more time to try different techniques. It’s harder to learn on very short lips like that, and you’re not going to get much height no matter what you do
