When you know what you need to do, it's very simple. If Crash is bouncing up and down on the crate, hold down the X button. You don't need to perform a spin attack in mid-air or press in a specific direction, just hold this button and you will see Crash getting an extra bit of height on his jumps. On June 30th, 2017:
