You fell, try not falling to prevent this.
Riding not high enough on the berm
jack-knifed … 🙂
slacker head tube angle ? 🙂 – maybe just more air in a fork? or more compression damping could save you ?

Tried to go too low so turned in too aggressively and front lost traction and jacknifed
Steering while the bike is leaning over, front hit something which pulls the bars around.
The berm is high enough to push more against it and incline more…
Saying this, I had a bad crash using a berm that washed out under my front wheel in wet conditions…
He turning seems to be slowing you down
You zigged when you should have zagged
Looks to me like you’re carving aggressively into the start of the berm with a deep thrusting carve and your front tyre lost traction – I think you should try keeping a more consistent movement in these conditions with less emphasis on the start on the carve and more emphasis on rolling through berm without that pulse that throws your front wheel deep into the mud and risks losing traction.
On a side note, take some judo classes for beginners, they will teach you how to fall safely.
Classical Jack-Knife 🤷♂️
Overcompensated your turn. feel the rhythm , feel the ride , it’s MTB time.
You need to be up on the upper part of that berm, not the base
You’re try to steer with your bars. Leaning the bike ( not your body) while off the brakes is how you turn. Not by turning the bars.
Weight a bit far over the bars and not putting the front wheel in the wall of the berm, looks like. Just a misjudgement
