Pretty good. You can absorb the landing with your legs more.

Lean more down before the jump, and really push down on the rear suspension before jumping, also try to move a bit further back on the bike during the jump and keep your center of gravity low

You’re killing it. Looked like good bike placement. Standing up into the jump and extending the legs for the landing.
I’d only suggest (as a begintermediate rider myself): let your legs compress a bit more on the landing (your bike and riding line will benefit) and bring your elbows up more – you’ll have so much more control and stability. When your elbows are down and your forearms are more parallel with the ground, you have way less strength to control the bars, no matter what kind of bike (moto or pedal) you’re riding, especially off-road – your torso is way less controlled. Getting your elbows up puts them in a natural position of power – for control over movement of the bike and torso stability.

did you set up your suspention open both front and rear to 50%?

Pop in the direction of the lip rather than away from it.

You could compress more with your legs… But what’s weird is that your front fork bottoms out and your back wheel barely moves. Check the sag and maybe add some air to the front fork? If it provides enough support your weight should hit the back too.
