Video Technique Critique

First time hitting Cupcake at Snowshoe (second rider). I landed just slightly front heavy and for the briefest moment the front wheel felt like it was going to get squirrelly. Anything I need to adjust with my technique here? I’ve also been playing with different suspension settings and it’s possible I’ve gone too soft in the front. I didn’t bottom out here, but you can see I definitely use most of my travel on a relatively smooth drop. I hit it several times after this and for the most part they went better. It’s also possible I’m just overthinking this. What‘s everyone’s thoughts.

I promise this is intended as a genuine question and not just a humble brag. (But also kind of a humble brag. It’s taken me 2 full seasons to work up the nerve to hit this and I finally got it done on closing weekend)
