This is one of my actual best jumps, I'd like to learn some tips or ways to improve it
What could help me to improve my level of jumping?

You have the same problem I do.
you’re not “popping” off the lip of the jump. Rather you’re just relying on speed to clear.
At the lip you should be standing up straight pushing against the face of the jump so that your rear wheel can pop then come up to you.
Think of it like an American bunny hop, but instead of relying on your weight to bring the front wheel up, the face of the jump does that for you.
If you look at how bent your legs are at 0:01 and then compare to the frame where your rear wheel is right at the lip of the jump, you can see that your legs are about the same angle. So you’re resisting the compression of the jump, but you’re not actively popping against it.
This is my exact same issue.
Lower gravity would probably do it.
