I've been trying to get a bunny hop and even just lift up the front wheel for a manual. I would love some tips/advice about how to get a higher bunny hop. THX.

Are you trying to manual or bunny hop?
Keep trying. It’ll come. More tangible advice however, you need to jump before your front wheel starts falling, and you need to jump more, you’re barely jumping when you initiate your bunny hop. Commit. But ya just do it more it’ll get there.
Slow down, get in the grass, and bring the bars all the way up.
Do you always have a cameraman following you about?
Looks like your suspension is set up with way too much sag. You shouldn’t be nearly bottoming out on little bunny hops like that.
A bike like this can be harder to learn on. My enduro takes a lot more to wheelie and move than my hardtail xc. You are getting it up, so that is a good start. Try going a little slower, that balance point can come faster than you think.
As for form, as you come up, if helps to press forward with your legs. Keep at it, you’ll get there!
Not sure about that bike rider, but that kid who’s filming has skills!
This thread is very helpful, I’m learning too!
If trying to manual you have get your weight farther back and push through your legs.
If trying to bunny hop same start but jump hard and pull bars to your hips and then row foward while you bring your legs in.
