Trouble with my jumps

I am having a little trouble when it comes to jumping. Every once and awhile when I go for a single, double, or table top my feet end up flying off the pegs. I am trying to re-think what I am doing wrong, but nothing comes to mind. Like I said it only happens once and while, but I can't seem to figure it out. Me and a friend were thinking it might be that I am not going fast enough or it might just be my rear suspension. Any tips or advice would be awesome.

Thanks.

are you sitting down or standing up when you take off? your feet will be lose on the pegs no matter what since your falling through the air.

I grip the bike with my lower legs going up the face. I rotate my heal and calf's in and squeeze just a bit. Once in the air then relax so the rear break is available for a tap if needed

Some jumps just throw you that way, but you could try increasing your rebound a little.
