For a pullover you should try to pull up to your chin and then bring your legs over the bar. Try to get your hips on the bar so you are balanced. That should help with that. With the backhipcircle, you don't need a huge cast, actually that could be not helping you. Try to keep your hips on the bar. Hope this helps. :)
 
I had a huge problem with back hip circles as well, don't worry.

1. For the pullover: what I had to do was work on my strength- begin practicing pullups and pushups, and some abdominal work. After a couple of weeks I found out I had no problem with my pullovers.
2. For the back hip circle: the trick that did it for me was to cast and keep my body straight until my hips hit the bar. I used to throw my shoulders back/pike, and that would result in awful, awful whiplashes. When I keep straight and tight, once I hit the bar I let it pike me and I go along with it (it's important not to resist the motion- trust the bar!).
Also, keep your hands as straight as you can.
