It's hard to explain but i'll have a go.
While rolling forward lean back so your front wheel lifts off the ground then jump forward lifting your bike by the handlebars and push them up and forward.
Hope this helps!

keep practicing. Its really hard to figure out, and impossible to explain. It took me a few months to figure it out. Once you figure it out your bunnyhop progreess will sky rocket. Thats the hardest part of it.

lean back as far as you can, and once you are at that point you let your weight off your bike while pulling up your bars and twisting your grips forward enogh to lift up your bike.

Practice.
Manualing it seems, is one of those tricks that if you dont try it and practice it, you lose them.
Thats how i find it...

like Jerry said, visualize pointing your toes down, pushing back on the pedals while at the same time pushing forward on your bars (this is after you've pulled the front wheel way up). When you push in opposing direction like this, you are locking your feet to the bike (they won't slide off if you push the bars good). Then you just bend your knees and snap the back end up.
Watch how a bucking bronco does his thing. First the front then the back.

all these donkeys on here that are obsessed with grammar need to seriously get a life, people are here for help with BMXing, and if we can understand what they're saying whether they have a few spelling mistakes or some caps who honestly cares. if you guys keep being dicks about it no one is going to want to come to this board

To me it seems impossible to learn how to bunny hop by the internet, because everybody does it a little differntly.... I taught myself by practicing, thats the easiest way.

This is for everyone - We all joke around here. That's all well and good. But if you want to be obnoxious and annoying, it's probably best you don't post here. It's that simple. Everyone needs to show courtesy to other members, and I shouldn't have to be a babysitter.
