Timing might be a little early on the pop so I’d just say more reps. Nice track. Looks like a good jump to learn on.

Video is fast but I think your arms might be a little loose, you need to push back on the jump not just with your legs (stand up part), your arms need to not get bullied by the jump face either

I think your fork is compressing into the lip and taking some of the pop out of your jump. If you want, you can try to add a little PSI (if you were doing only dirtjumps you’d want to max it out) and it should help.
I think you’re also doing what is known as a “dead-sailor” and stiffening your body instead of relaxing. To prevent this, try turning the bars to the side slightly mid air (even just an inch or two).
Forget trying anything bigger and just rep this until you feel comfortable…. This is the perfect jump to learn on.
**BONUS** if you have a pump track near by, that is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Nothing will teach you how to ride a bike properly faster than a pump track.

Jump higher and further.
