There's more to it that "pulling up on the bars". You need think, shift shoulders and hips back to unweight the front end. This is otherwise known as a "manual" ( non-pedaling wheelie)

This little video shows a kid manualing on all sorts of different bikes. The key is the body shift, not pulling up.

here's another one. Of course you modify this for trail riding but the concept it the same. The mistake that people make is just to use the arms to pull up the front of the bike, without taking the body weight back.
