Pull front end up, point toes down, pull back end up and level out.
Oh, and practice.

just keep practicing. it's not going to come straight away. you need to develop your strength and technique, and this takes time. i remember when i couldn't bunnyhop at all. now i can't even imagine not being able to do it, and i have hopped onto things that i'm surprised that i could get onto.
it helps to watch other riders and try to copy their technique. you need to develop an explosive hop. pre-load your arms and legs and just explode upwards, first pulling up the front and then tucking your legs up.
in a few months you'll be doing barspin hops with a huge grin on your face
