Since you’re just starting out you might as well hop straight to the wheel and learn how to do them the proper way. You’re also not kicking the bike enough with your back foot to get it to rotate
Flick the bike faster and you’ve got it.
Try and stay over the Ike more. It’s also a lot more of an arm motion than you think
Back wheel coming up way too much. Your body weight is too far forward too.
go slower
kick first, then footjam
so, while you are kicking the back your front foot should be crossing the toptube
(footjam with your outer part of the foot touching the fork instead of the inner part like in your video, for better stability)
If you still find this too challenging, practice some bunnyhop footjam first. To gain more control.
