you are throwing your chest back then jumping. This is just pushing you back. keep your chest up more and use that to jump up. i think everything else is fine. work on keeping your chest up more

Even if you're not J-stepping, putting your non-kicking leg way out in front of you helps make your jump more vertical.

To help get height and control i found is to lean forward more on your pivot that way when you jump and naturally back because you lent forward your natural lean back lets you go UP!

Then the leg swinging up will lay you down horizontal on its own accord and you can concentrate on wrapping!

Basically what Rudy said, just i know the lean forward thing was the key to keeping my chest Up!

Here's a .gif of me doing one, if you want i prob have a better one of me doing a pivot step like you are but this is basically a j-step, See how my chest on the lead in is lent forward, then when i jump my chest goes UP!
