Simple question of what came first for you? The 180 or the rollback?

I learned to rollback first but just by going up banks and than rolling down. I actually had rollbacks dialed before I learned flat 180's, I could slider before I could flat 180. But once I got a bmx (came from mtbing) I learned flat 180's very quickly. Still, it was weird doing a flat 180 and landing in a rollback. But once you get used to it, it becomes easy.

I learned flat 180's first. I still can't do rollbacks and fakies lol No balance for that stuff. Need to work on it for sure if I'm gonna get any better at street, though.

rollbacks i learned on my BMX, in grade 8. Then it got hard. Trying to 180 a 35lbs bike was impossible for me. Today i can 180 my DMR, but it's still a challenge.

I can fakie pretty far and rollback but I can only get 90 degrees trying a 180. I need to actually practice 180s.

I leanred 180s first, then learned fakies and rollbacks on banks. I then fused the 180 and the rollback together after much frustration, and resulted in nuclear fission! I mean a 180-to-rollback.

I learned roll backs first. Then i learned some breakless 3 taps. Then i finally got the whole 180 to roll out thing. Unfortunately im the "Indian giver" type with my 180's now so i need to re learn my roll backs.

I learn how to rollback at the local banks, But i still can't get out of it. 180's came within a week when i was properly taught by my Friend kevinarevalo.

180 then the roll back. theres nothing around me for banks or parks or anything so i ahd to do it the old school way, keep slamming those 180's down till i could roll back.

i used to be in MTB and i learned rollbacks first but when i switched to BMX the 180 came first then after about a week i got the roll backs dialed (at least for me they are)

i masterd the fakie, learned how to go as long as i want to, while sitting down, standing, whatevr. how to tire slide out, half cab, etc. i only started trying 180's when someone told me to try them. when i got the spin i just lol'd and went backwards across the park Smile
