I'm terrible at getting air - can someone help me?

Hey everyone -

So I've recently been getting more into MTB and I love it. Just bought my first full-suspension last week (Ibis Ripmo AF) and I've been riding pretty much every day.

One thing that I am terrible at is getting air. I'm not trying to do any big jumps (at least not yet) but I'm talking about getting air off of little lips/ramps and stuff. I can get a little bit, but I feel like it's mostly through chance / luck and not because I'm actually doing anything right. I've watched some videos online but I'm not 100% sure exactly what I am doing wrong. I threw together a short video of a few jumps I did with a buddy yesterday at a local pump track and I'd love some feedback / constructive criticism. I'm the one on the silver full-sus with the red shirt.
