English is not my native language, so I’m not sure I understand this properly, but if it is about if there was a touch between wheels and the car, or the car and the ground, then no, the suspension handled that nose dive pretty well.

Sadly, I have no warranty. Imported the car to Europe. If I will break it, I will have to pay for it. But man, we only live once, I was not buying Raptor to ride it as a standard car. Off-road and having fun is where the car should be, at least from my perspective

He's giving tips on how to avoid that horrible nose dive. It's not balanced well enough to actually stick a landing, and there's not enough power to shift weight rearward to make up for it. In order to land on either all fours or the rear, you need at least one of three things...a well balanced vehicle with tuned suspension, enough power to basically pull the front tires off the ground, or an engineered ramp and very high speed. Otherwise it's going to look like every SXS or buggy out there trying to jump, the bumper will plow into the ground and go end over end. If he continues to push the same jump at higher and higher speeds, eventually the front bumper is going to plant itself.
A better tip would be to hold full throttle and hit the brakes for a split second before hitting the jump itself, this allows the vehicle to rock back and forth, ending up with a rearward weight shift when you need it and full power to help. Some vehicles just won't respond positively to a jump regardless.

Oh yeah, that’s the thing which have saved both of us from crashing it
BTW very nice, glad I’m not alone
Has anyone noticed how the Bronco is much more nose heavy than the F150 Raptor? I'm not sure if this is speed related, but it looks to me like the F150s feels more balanced in the air, and the BR just wants to dive down...

There's a lot going on when the subject of balance comes up. Weight distribution probably favors the Bronco more than it does the F150, so why the difference? If all else is equal, it mostly comes down to the wheelbase...a longer vehicle dampens some of that bucking (technically not a nose-dive, but rather the rear coming up too much). It's very difficult to make direct comparisons between the two because you're likely not seeing the two vehicles hitting the same jumps at the same speeds. There are several dozen factors that account for bucking, and to reduce it you need to make significant changes to the entire vehicle as well as driving style.
