Make sure your elbows and knees are bent, and try and stay a little lower than standing up straight, also try and weight the pedals equally, it's pretty easy, just practice it, it comes eventually, I couldn't do it properly for ages.

I think everyone was a bit wonky to start with. You'll soon sort it out though - "practice, practice, practice"

Are you getting in to the hop from an endo and then rocking backwards or are you pedal kicking to the back wheel?
