Two things from what I can see, too slow and you tucked your rear too high resulting the endo where your front tire caught the lip of landing. If you went faster, you could have avoiding catching the lip.

Rebound might also be set up too fast

It seems you went in the wrong direction and used your body weight to try and steer left and that didn’t work out as planned sending you in a partial involuntary front flip.

Too slow

pumped and stood up a hair early. You did it a little on the first one too which is why you can see your arms pull up to correct.

Your front tire hit the wrong side of the landing 😂

Hope youre not too sore

Daily reminder for me to avoid any gap jumps. Hope you’re ok.
It looks like you may have timed your pop a bit poorly, which kicked your back wheel up in the air. Ultimately…your downfall was casing the lip with your front wheel. if you were going a bit faster you may have been ok, although you would have likely hit front wheel first which is its own challenge.

Dang, hope you are ok. Tbh I have similar jump style and haven’t done such catastrophic nose dive in a long time… so now I’m scared. Anyway, I think this happens if you don’t push enough with your legs and the steepness of the jump surprises you. I think I’ve heard it in one of the Ben Cathro video (when force of the lip exceeds the force of your legs = nose dive). This lip looks quite steep while the one before it is probably not so steep. This might be a slightly more complicated sequence where you lightly swallow the first jump (you did that right in the video) and then aggresively boost the second one (you weren’t aggressive enough in the video). The speed and timing seems okay to me. Next time just consciously try to push more aggresively into it with your legs and you should be able to clear it.

Have you ever hit this jump before? It looks like you were kicked more than you were expecting? Maybe your rebound is too high? I don’t it’s rebound. Your legs come up, maybe mistimed pop as another has suggested.

Over the bars

Couple of things I find might be wrong in this video.
1. You missed the timing and let your legs collapse at the top of the jump while shifting your weight forward, this cause the nose to dive. Still tho, it shouldn’t have been this bad from what I can see there.
2. Your rear suspension has too much rebound, it really shot you up more than it should have.
3. The jump itself might be badly built, you might have to pull back harder on this one.

A skill to learn in dirt jumping is how to change the length you go mid-air. It looks like you jumped with one length in mind and came up short. One way to lengthen the distance you after taking off the lip is to give your bars a pump (lift them up and then level them off). I am not saying the solution is to pull your bars up. I am saying is to lift your bars and then push them down again. This will give you more time in the air and help you get over a lip when it looks like you are about to come short.
Overall getting used to being “looser” in the air will help you achieve this.

need to commit more to the front flip

I’d say look at the rider behind you for clues.

Lifted your front wheel early shortening the launch while standing up a little back on the rear wheel and getting pop throwing you over the front.

You’re meant to keep the rubber side down.
