Big(ish) rolling hops
 

My friends and I have been hopping up pallets lately and we got 3 down
solid. Tonight we went for 4. When I go for it I can get my wheel up,
but I'm leaning back so I always have to fall back. Not really sure why
i'm doing this, is it from like folding or not going fast enough or
what? Any advice on how to get my body going forward or just jumping
higher would be awesome

Try riding faster, I had this problem too when attempting this ledge :
YouTube - 103 cm Roll
Hop Attempts Now I ride even faster and when my wheel meets the
ledge, I am automatically sent forward, straightening my upper body...
or just bailing very hard if I'm not hopping high enough ! :p If you
don't understand, you can watch this
YouTube - 100cm
unicycle roll hop you can clearly see what I'm talking about.

Hope I could be helpful for something !

Also you might try angling your wheel just a little to one side when you
come up onto the object. Just a quick twist to the side; helps keep me
on top of the object.

I made a thread similar to this one a while ago. It has some pretty
good advice that you might find helpful.

uh...
i got stuck at the same point... a lot of it is KNOWING that you can do
it... i usually have trouble hopping up new things that are about the
height i can jump ... especially if it looks funny or is more difficult
in some way.

i always hop at a little bit of an angle so i don't eat it... you can
easily avoid doing faceplants and falling at all if you just turn a
little into it... so if your tire slips or does not make it ... you
catch your pedal

Big(ish) rolling hops
 

I've just noticed that when I do big rolling hops up something I tend to
throw my arm back instead of forward with makes me fall back which is
probably why I had trouble jumping up 4 pallets, but I can't seem to
stop doing this. Is there any thing I can do to stop doing this?
