First thing I notice that will help is.
WEAR A HELMET
Drop the outside leg a bit during turns
Look farther down the trail. By the time you’re at the apex of one turn you should be full looking at the next
Don’t forget the legs 🦵
Get lower (into a half squat and point your knee to the corner, that should help. Seems like you understand the bike lean.
Burnaby? Go ride gearjammer and nicoles like 200 times and you’ll be good.
Your wrists are still in a bad angle. The break levers have to be lowered a bit. Your wrists should not bend, but should simply continue your forearm. Otherwise jumps and things like wheelies and manuals can and will damage your wrists over time.
On flat corners, drop the outside pedal, to bring up the inside pedal. This brings up the inside knee and creates more space for you to lean the bike further, with an accentuated archer/dab position with the arms.
