Technique good but timing bad. You are standing too early and fully extended before the lip so you absorb it
Close but not really. You should be pressing down into the jump at the bottom and bending your legs more and as you go up extend your legs, and combined with your suspension decompressing to pop off of the lip. You’re kind of absorbing all the jumps energy instead of rebounding off of it.
It’s not bad at all though! Just keep ripping that jump and focus on popping higher and pulling your bike back towards you with your bars and peddles.
Unrelated but just thought I should mention most trail orgs discourage landing on the sides of jumps.
It wears them down wayyy faster.
Also you are popping super early. That will be a big issue on bigger/steeper jumps.
Your timing is WAY off. Your legs should be getting full extension at the very end of the lip. You’re doing it like 3 feet eary.
you need more speed. it looks like you are going way too slow in the video
A lot better than most people. Like other people mentioned, you’ve got the technique pretty much figured out, you’re just doing it a little bit too early.
