      Seems like your body weight momentum went up and over the top of the lip whereas your bike more closely followed the trajectory of the transition. So in effect your center of mass moved further over the front of the bike.

      You need to pop lips to keep you and your bike on the same transition trajectory.

      I mean, jump was good, no buck. You landed like you didn’t expect to keep rolling, idk man.

      I ain’t no expert but it seems like that just how the jump is profiled. It’s a steep take off and they kinda to that to you. To me it seems like you didn’t even go that far forward. Front wheel landed first but it looks like you could have ridden that out. I never really thought about my mistakes, just kinda rode until I didn’t make them anymore. Get back up and keep shredding it until you nail it!

      Could be a lot of things. Too slow rebound up front, too fast rebound at the back. Too high a rear spring rate relative to the front. Not enough damping on the fork. Too much damping on the fork.

      If the fork feels good on normal trails, slow down the rebound on the shock. If the fork is a bit too ‘active’ on normal trails (using a lot of travel), add a bit of air (like 10%).

      Push through the lip with the feet standup on take off, you got very lucky you were basically a passenger on that.

      Slightly nose heavy, but you could have rode away.

      Considering you didn’t go OTB, I would say seek out smaller but about just as steep jumps to really hammer down your technique. Once you have the confidence, come back to this jump.
