You nose-cased the knuckle of the transition. You didn’t carry enough horizontal momentum in the air and came up short.

Zigged when you should have zagged with the bear that was chasing you

Well you crashed for starters.
Looks like you needed more speed, so that your nose should’ve landed on the down slope of the landing instead of the knuckle

Too slow, looks like there’s a soft patch in the take off that might have slowed you down.

When you’re approaching and pushing into the jump, are you possibly overcompensating pulling up the rear end too much? Not sure if that makes sense, but it happened to me before and I determined that was the problem. Luckily I didn’t end up like you, but it was a shit feeling anyway.

Your compression and yank was off, the timing effectively. If you do that, the shock decompresses at the wrong time and you rotate forward too much and you end up getting bucked and nose heavy.
Jumps are some of the most unforgiving with technique, if you get it wrong, there’s no saving the rotation. It’s all set in motion and you’re done for.
Don’t pull up hard or if you do make sure it’s timed perfect. Proper jumping is all in the thighs and pushing through the ramp with your feet, get it right and you don’t need to yank so much and it’s much more predictable.

Bit more speed & a little less compression will see you through it next time

Everyone saying speed, but you clearly got bucked and were going the same speed as the riders that cleared it in front of you. Something off about how you compressed into the lip, but hard to tell from this angle.

You pre-loaded your suspension too early in the transition. Your rear suspension was rebounding while you were still on the lip, sending you into a forwards rotation and you got bucked. What should have been a rear wheel case at worst turned into a nose case.

Weight is too far back approaching the lip , over compressing shock relative to fork. This creates forward spin when the shock uncompresses to fully open at the lip. It pushes you into what feels like a summersault. When you caught the lip, it slowed your front wheel, accelerating the problematic motion that was already underway. Solution: more centered over the bike as fork and shock compress. Drive your fork into the lip of the jump so fork and shock compress proportionally.
I do this too. It is a very sucky feeling in the air.

Speed, You might have pulled it off if you landed in the transition.

Speed is not the issue here, you didnt jump properly

Look up “Stand up to the jump”
You likely were too far backwards on the takeoff.

Hitting jumps in slow motion doesn’t help.

Speed was not the problem here, everyone saying speed, either didn’t watch the video close enough or is just bad at diag.
OP definitely got bucked, your rear shock might be blown out, looked like you were nearly bottomed out coming up the face of the jump, and had quick return (rebound damper). It’s hard to see exactly when you pushed forward, but I think that might have been off as well.
Suspension settings matter and incorrect ones, or blown damper circuit can exacerbate poor timing.

Your suspension setup may be bucking you off the lip.
.have someone who knows what they are doing help you set it up. It should never pogo stick you. Watch a gmbn video or ten on how to set it up.
Your form may be off. Work on lots of small jumps , practice popping off and landing smooth with both wheels at the same time then practice front slightly first then rear first.
This will get you used to moving the bike. Just build a small jump for outside your house out of a couple prices of wood you don’t need to go high and don’t need a landing. Can use a basic curb to jump off as well.

It’s not speed. I also often end up with my rear wheel higher up than the front. I just try to keep my legs strong and not bent and also guide the front up high like trying a bunny hop

The front wheel landing on your plumbs was the icing on the cake. Hope you are OK

You went in front of the handlebars when you were supposed to stay behind them.

My vote is timing the jump. Seems a hair too early so you didn’t get the appropriate lift.
