Very stiff in your upper body. Bend your elbows and get a little lower

As a novice, that looks terrifying! Amazing braking!!!

Feedback: leash your damn dog.
Edit: read through this thread. These are the most classless, horrible people I have come across since r/The_Donald.
I have been blamed for my dogs death this past weekend “maybe if your dog wasn’t on a leash the other off leash dog wouldn’t have killed it.”
And another user commented on another comment of mine to taunt me for not being able to ride due to the trauma of carrying my best friend back to the car on Sunday while trying to hold his throat shut.
This is a real low point for this sub.

You’re relatively static on the bike. I’d be terrified.
Looking at your center of mass it’s nicely forward at the top and scary forward at the bottom transition.
You want to be forward at the top so you have room to push the bottom bracket ahead of the center of mass so you can move forward again after the transition.
Coaches call this fore aft movement the Stroke. Once you install this in muscle memory and side to side movement you can begin to feel what I call the magic carpet ride. Your COM tracks your line while the bike constantly moves around underneath you driving the body mass through the bottom bracket.

This didn’t end up looking too bad, but the fundamental problem could at some point wreck you. Asking for feedback is awesome.
You should try standing taller and more centered as you are rolling into it. You’re sort of squatting over the rear a little bit. Johan Barreli is a master at this. Go watch his videos on YouTube.

Looks like a fine start but also looks a bit like you’re hanging on to the bike rather than pumping/moving your body to control it. Setup is good, but to progress you need to get a bit more comfortable and stay a bit more dynamic, similar to avoiding being a dead sailor when jumping just getting yourself moving will help avoid getting stiff. Being stiff means anything goes wrong and you’ll be slow or unable to react at speed.

You want to be more forward on the bike and heels down! Try to have your arm bend when rolling down, unless you’re taking it like a drop. Try to bend the elbows more in a [push up position](https://imgur.com/a/kwRV42d) and when you’re done you go back to a [neutral position](https://imgur.com/a/vJEcL6x) thats more forward that what we see in this video, my positioning is a bit too forward in the neutral postipn picture but thats the general idea (and yes its much less steeper but what you did is somewhat close to my level of riding so my technique isnt perfect on the clips i have for demo, tho i’ll leave them here [push up position 1](https://imgur.com/a/sHJ7gzY)

You killed it dude, you can take advice from reddit, but the majority of people giving advice have never and will never do a feature that big. They are just telling you what they *think* they saw Remi do in a YouTube video. Take everything here with a huge grain of salt. Unless u/Philkmetz shows up… You should listen to u/Philkmetz.
