This was a PR for me last Tuesday.

Feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Short stepping it a little in the jerk...
With the jerk, if you use the 1/4 squat as the main forcer (no pressing) and learn that the leg movement and feet separation in the split jerk is more a way to change levels and get under the bar rather a super press, like so

the jerks will come alot easier.
You'll see in these videos the main forcer causing the bar to rise in free air is solely from the 1/4 squat, and split jerk with both lifters is almost like a lunge under/drop under. if that makes sense

Brian,
First thing...please invest in some weightlifting shoes. You can't possibly have a solid platform lifting in slippas. Clean technique is not bad. Your rear foot lands a little flat and you need a little more drive up with the bar in your jerk. Some of these problems would be erased with the proper footwear.

[Bee Brian]

Thanks.

So guys, what kind of drills would you recommend to improve my split-jerk? Here's my most recent video:

Clean was better. Too bad about missing the jerk.

Did you go onto jerk it off camera ?

I tried, but failed worse. Legs were then tired and did not have enough energy to generate force.

Tomorrow is the day that I will try this again.

Your not sitting back on your heels in the first dip of the jerk. Could be due to your flip flops.
