Ideally, you should work with an instructor who is actually a good bump skier & can teach bumps.
Real time analysis, feedback, analysis & corrections are critical.
Based on only this VDO I have 2 suggestions -
You have pretty good overall balance, foot discipline & speed control.
A great foundation to build on & to improve.
My analysis & suggestions
1) Poles are a timing device, not a support while skiing esp bumps.
Work on sure (a little firmer than on the groomers) quick touch & release of your poles
You are leaving the poles in too long.... your hand, arm gets left back.... this causes 2 issues -
a) you end up rotating, when you must counter rotate making for less edge/skid control, balance & increased speed in the bumps than you are definitely capable of
b) you end up being slightly put off balance laterally with increased chance of being knocked around in the bumps.
2) In the bumps we need to be countered - facing down hill more, with the skis pivoting, turning under our torso). This encourages control, ready to react to the terrain.
I suggest the following drills to help you learn more appropriate motor function -
1) Practice fast light pole action, from the wrist only, hands & elbows always in front of the torso, your lat muscles slight tense to encourage upper boy discipline, hands 2 shoulder width apart for balance.
Do this fast poling drill just standing still, then on groomers in MR then SR turns. NEVER ever let your hands get back behind the front of your body.
2) On groomers hold your poles horizontally in front of you to encourage upper body discipline. Do a lot of high tempo brush parallel turns in this position - build muscle memory of hands, elbows in front, ready for fast pole action. AND torso countered, facing down the hill while your feet/skis pivot/turn under you.
3) Take this drill, hands out, poles horizontal torso countered, into the easy bumps - no pole action - your existing lower body skills will allow you to do this.
Of course use a soft mogul field as your chance for falling will increase.
Again hands, elbows out in front, visualize fast pole action + countered torso
Then after a run or two starting using your poles (or practice on a groomer first)- sure but light fast pole action - NEVER letting your elbows, hands get back further than the front of your torso.
A countered torso, facing down hill, accentuating control.
