Start doing one handlers. Work your way up to being able to throw your hand anywhere you want. Move to doing seat grabs. Then it’s just a matter of a seat grab and pushing the bike.

It’s been a while for me. One thing that really helps is the flow of the ‘dip’. The jump in the vid is a pretty quick, short air. Ok for BMX but a bit harder to get the bars where they need to be on MTB.
But yeah try to let the front end drop if possible, and I feel like I kinda ‘pinch’ the rear end (usually saddle on MTB) with my knees.

For exaggeration, here is the dip on BMX: https://i.redd.it/zc8z1207e7e41.png
A video of me working on them for the first time on MTB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8OXt4Cge6o
