I’m trying to get better at drops and things that seem a little more intimidating. Any pointers or suggestions for if/when I try larger ledges and drops.

Looks good! Hard to tell without much run-in but it looks like you preloaded the fork and popped. Everyone is going to say it’s a risky approach as you level up in size, and they’re right. If you try throwing the bike out instead of popping then it’ll make it smoother and safer to size up to larger drops
Looks great! I am no expert and have just started doing drops a little bigger than this. I would try to get both wheels to hit the ground at the same time. Maybe try pushing the front wheel forward right at the edge without pulling up.
Keep playing with it and eventually you’ll figure out how to tweak it so you land smoothly with both wheels at about the same time.
You’re absorbing most of the pop. Eventually that will get you bucked. It’s also not ideal to land back wheel first.
I’d focus on keeping full leg extension throughout the entire drop and leveling the bike out to land both wheels or front wheel first
Looks good overall though. Keep working!
