To me, there is nothing intuitive about it. Otherwise, I would already know how to do it, after decades of owning a bike.
I’ve jumped curbs 1000’s of times over the decades and never once gotten the rear wheel off the ground.
Press handlebars as counter balance? Lift with feet, like Ollie, etc?
There is a reason almost no one knows how to do this.
Without slo-mo analysis, I would have zero chance, b/c everyone says “lift with feet”, even the kid, yet that is totally wrong in slo-mo (feel vs real)
After detailed analysis, I think you need to
- Explosively Pull front wheel off ground (kid was getting massive lift)
- Jump up off the pedals
- Grip pedals with feet
- Push handlebars down to level bike
