As someone who have been mountain biking for nearly 2 months now, I feel like you can use my advice. I think you are flopping when you should be flipping. Turn up the flip knob.

I’ve been stuck on it for 38.5 years. Still can’t land one.

You need a bigger ramp… you arent getting enough air to do a double backflip that you will ever actually be able to land off a ramp that size.
I.e. Because you arent getting enough air off that ramp if you try to flip slow enough to have any sort of control… you arent high enough in the air to make two full backflips. As result you have to backflip faster… but the only way you make the two full flips is if you are rotating so fast you are generating too much force to be able to land without smashing into the ground.
Im a dentist and I ride my Trek SLR 9 to the office when my wife makes me let the kids take my Bently to school… so I know a thing or two about bikes and such.

I do actually think you need a bigger kicker. Speed looks good. You’re still walking, so that’s good.

Don’t even know how many flips you’re trying to do cause you cut the shot literally every time.
