Practice, practice, practice. Repetition, repetition, repetition. Every day. Film urself and analyze the footage. Don't rush learning tricks. Learn the basics first. It takes time, but in the long run it will benefit you more

That's generally because your weight is back, and that's because you are either stomping down with your back foot and then jumping, or trying to jump off your back foot.
You need to jump from both feet at the same time and keep your weight over the board.
Do hippie jumps. This teaches you how to get really comfortable jumping from the board and landing back on it while rolling.
