Front squat form?

Could someone please explain as best you can how can I at home by myself duplicate Dubaya's awesome form in this video? I keep trying but I get the strong feeling I'm going to fall over backwards when I push back to go more upright.
>
Dabaya 5x200 kg front squat
The below vid is what my form more closely emulates than Dubaya's unfortuneatly. I think this guy's form sucks really bad judging from how far he's bent over & far from upright.

Thanks in advance!

The first has a particular anatomy or is training with a very low weight for him. But he has difficult to catch the bar with the hand.
The second, have a standard anatomy, but is very curious the grip of the bar. He must be not a lifter but a bodybuilder or powerlifter.
When I wanted made front squat with good technique was my worst year. I didnt advance.
So, I decided to make as I can (very ugly)

I think my problem lies w/in hip joint flexibility. I'm gonna try to increase it thru stretching before my next w/out.

Well, and a higher cue under the hill may help, too (4 cms. I think is the maximum autorized by the IWF)

I think your right. I'd like to get a pr of Atlas shoes which have a 3cm heel so 4cm would be IMO really high.

Nothing wrong with the second video other than depth. There are numerous stretches out there, but 5 second pause squats will likely help a bunch.
