I just got back from a ride and thought I'd try some techniques I learned in a video I saw last night. I think what I need to learn most is lifting the front tire up high and proper. Let me know your thoughts or advice.

You need to scoop your feet into pedals to lift up the back, my advice would be to practice scooping them while keeping your front wheel on the ground
Great start. One small piece of advice is to use your arms a little less aggressively. You’re pulling up with a lot of force and then pushing the front end down to get the back off the ground, where as everything should be moving upward as the back wheel comes off the ground. Try pushing up and forward on your bars instead of down and forward, while at the same time “scooping” with your feet on the pedals
