As your rear wheel leaves the lip you want to be at full extension, your legs are very bent here so you’re not creating any pop.

You have to actually pop off the jump. Similar to jumping on the ground, you push your legs through the takeoff and stay strong. Any sport that you catch air you have to pop to actually use the jump, get more air, more control, and do tricks. Even on drops

straighten your legs when your rear wheel leaves the lip, no before it.

Do this drill. See how slowly you can hit this jump, while still clearing the landing. That will force you to focus on your form. It will force you to put energy into the jump with your legs, instead of absorbing energy through your arms.

you don’t have to lift with your legs. push your rear wheel into the face of the jump all the way u til the end. you are unweighting before the lip, so you don’t get anything from the steepest part of the jump
