Was practicing this jump plenty of times that day, trying to learn proper jumping technique and to clear the jump. Then this happened. What went wrong? Any tips on improving?

You skipped part where you need to pull front end, your hands were late for pull and no pump fork part, you bounced back end end nose dived
On 0:12-15 part you can se that your arms are extended, and you youst rolled lip
I’m no professional, but you appear to be releasing in the legs too early; the back wheel is still not at the lip and you’re absorbing with your legs, so the front wheel stops rising before the back wheel has, that creates that rotation. Keep pushing into the jump through the pedals until the back wheel leaves the lip, not the front wheel.
You preloaded well, maybe a little early if anything but you let the pressure off at the top of the lip and dead sailored. Keep the pressure on through the lip.
Something about standing up to the jump. Just stand up to the jump.
Well, your bike took you for a ride instead of the other way around. Body position should be dynamic when you are jumping.
You lead with your front wheel.
No pop, got bucked a bit, and gave up. If you’d kept your feet on you could’ve ridden it out. Source: i fuck this up all the time.
You filmed a textbook example for this video. 17 minutes that will perfectly explain where you went wrong: https://youtu.be/aPP3VxpruW8?si=yLZAmr6dBUQO3s01
You went way too slow /s
It seems your still pressing into the bike, when you front wheel leaves the lip. You can see your fork extend off the top of the lip & your bike starts to dive… your fork should be extending while still on the ramp /takeoff. To give you the upwards trajectory.
Rear rebound could be a touch quick, too…. as it was pretty quick to kick you forward, once the fork dove in.
Look like you loaded your legs fine and then went to pump it a little early and then when it was time to extend, you squash the jump. Then your weight goes back a little bit, but then the nose drops and the rest…sucks.
But yeah, bike took you for a ride. Happens to all of us. Keep riding.
Lowered seat would have helped.
You absorbed the lip of the jump with your arms and legs
You loaded the rear waaay to early and unloaded as soon as front wheel was free of the lip. You basically jumped off the bottom of the jump (at :15) and then you clipped your back wheel on the lip.
Your legs collapsed into the jump which overloaded your rear shock up the takeoff, causing it to spring up and throw you over the front. You can see near the g-out of the jump that your whole body weight shifts back hard as you went through the g-out and it left your rear suspension collapsed until you came off the lip
What you did was the equivalent of starfish sex op. You just laid there and took it. No control of the bike!
It seems to me that you fell.
You gave up and bailed. All you had to do is get your weight back. You would have landed on your front but it looked like you had it.
Soaked up the front and rode solid leg through the back. You need to learn the “stand up to the jump” method (Google it). It is very basic jumping technique that will get you started down the right path.
Ultimately how much weight is put through the rear or front wheel will determine how much rotation you have. If your front has more pressure in it will leaving the jump. It’ll rotate backwards if your rear wheel has more pressure in it leaving the jump you’ll rotate forwards.
You’re absorbing the lip with your arms which gives the rear more lift than the front.
“Pull up.. Pull up.. Terrain..Terrain”
The issue is that you’re riding in slow motion
People are making this complicated. Fucking pull up.
Preloaded a bit early but the disaster was bc of the weak legs up and off the lip. Basically soaked it with the rear and the rear suspension said, gotcha b*tch.
Way too slow
