actually I am seeing one other thing--when you push forward and go onto the front wheel, your heel is lifting (on the peg foot). when your toe starts to point down, in most tricks, it lets your weight fall too far forward. try really focusing on keeping your heel down as you pop in; that should keep you right on top of the peg. good luck and keep at it! at about 0:27 when Dave pops into a hang 5; watch the foot on the peg-he does it to perfection

I also noticed the leg that your standing on is just a bit to stiff. You will want to bend your knee a bit more. If you can stop the video when David is popping in and notice his Leg. Its the same way that I ride in. Its just slightly bent. It will help you find the balance point as well.
Keep on Riding!
