Don't bend forward when you dip, so you don't whip back when you stall, and tuck tighter.

Look at Joe Eigo's... only thing is us mortals have to use or arms to tuck properly.

Dont bend down so far, and dont lean forward either. Bend down less and keep your body straighter, crouching over will make you lose power and height

Aye. Atm even before you leave the ground your shoulders are behind your feet, there's no way you'll jump up like that :)

ok. without thinking do a standing vertical jump. I bet when you do this you don't squat so low or dip your chest. standing tuck needs to start out the same way

next is arms. try this: without using your lower body at all, try to get off the ground only by swinging your arms. this is how forceful your arm swing should be.
also, consider your shoulder angle in your set. it needs to be 180 degrees or so. you need to feel the stretch in your shoulders. you only swing your arms up to about 135 degrees with your head flying back.

work on these two things and you should improve considerably

Don't tilt your head back.

Look at your head at 0:03 and compare it to Eigo's head at 0:04 (frankly your whole body position needs to be changed, but keeping your head in should fix that). Before you do your tuck, find something (anything) at eye level to stare at and don't stop staring at for the entirety of your flip. Alternatively, you can try just tucking your chin to your chest as you jump.
