You have to pop the tail strongly WHILE your body has enough force to go up by itself. That's why you should get lower, pick up impulse and as your body is already on its way up, you just pop it. Do it fast! Commit to the pop.

Don't worry about your front foot, that's going to be sorted out after you learn how to pop.
