You're freaking out a little as you go off it. (I'm not suggesting you're afraid) Your body is tensing up. When that happens your dominant side usually kicks the bike out to one side. Looks like that's what's happening. I'm sure you've experienced the dead-sailor kicked to one side. Same thing. Try to relax and tell yourself before you even get to the spot that it doesn't hrt to crash and it's no big deal.

nice job, keep it up dude, and you'll start landing them. just a little more rotation, and keeping your eye on the landing.
