 You must position your body slightly forward as you leave the face of the jump. As you come off the lip, "bounce" off the bike, by pushing off of your footpegs using your leg muscles. Bring the front of your ankles up to the handlebars (on the inside of your hands, but on the outside of the forks) and "hook them" to the bars. As you do this, pull your arms strait -- this will help bring your knees over the bars. Once your feet are secure on the handlebars apply more tension on your arms. This combined with the extending motion of your legs and arching of your back will "pull" your whole body over the bars.

 When your body is reaching its full extension, jolt your head back as if you were trying to look behind the bike. 

Note: When you are working up to this trick, its important to work on just getting your knees over the bars. That is the most important move. How far you bend your torso is completely dependent on your skill level and airtime. Its important that you have good judgement in the air so that you know when to bring your torso and legs back to the bike.  A natural feel for the bike  and the jump is neccesary for doing these tricks because you can't see the landing as you are approaching it. Don't ever go to far , becauce landing in the cordova position would be a disaster..
