After replaying the video a few times, it looks like your rear shock is completely bottomed before you even land. That’s probably part of why it felt like you cased, even though your front and rear wheels were landing at the same time. Things to check on the rear shock:
– Air pressure: too low and you’ll have too much sag and bottom out too frequently. No pressure, and the shock will get stuck fully compressed. Both of these are bad for the shock.
– Compression: too low and it becomes too easy to bottom out the shock.
– Rebound: too low and the shock won’t extend fast enough after it compresses through the kicker. That’s assuming that the shock is fully functional in the first place.
ETA: Also make sure that you’re not in a lockout setting when you’re doing jumps.
