Hmmm...you look like a 6'1" guy riding a 56cm.
Of course, I could be wrong. I'd like to hear what others think.
I paused the video and moved the frames and it seemed like your knee was ahead of the pedal spindle. Most people go for knee over the pedal spindle or knee behind it.
If you rode a larger bike and sat back a bit that would definitely help. The larger frame will have a wheelbase that is 2cm longer and sitting back will take some weight off of the front wheel.
I found that the more I got into track racing, the more particular I got with my bike fit. Maybe it's because the banking, high cadences, and high speeds magnify everything. I know that I'm not that particular about my road bike's fit.
