Here's a good run down the main line of that trail, no wipeouts. Not quite as entertaining for everyone, but you can see why I really like this particular run.

From what it looked like, was that your body position was too far forward when you started up the ramp, and like you didnt compress before going off the lip, so you didnt get any extra pop off the rebound, to help carry the bike a bit further to give you time to adjust your landing. So you landed a bit front heavy, and didnt carry over the back side of the lip, so it pushed the rear right out.

It looked more like you were jumping off of a small roller, then off of something with a lip. I dont know how much experience you have jumping off of ramped jumps like that. But when i used to ride dirt bikes in my youth, i did that a thousand times before i got it right.
