pull your front first off the ground the guy in the video isn't doing it.
um that way is much harder, id know it was me in the video
and yes i can do both

Doesn't matter if its harder, your never goingn to be able to go up or down things with the log hop technique.
I learned by doing them on a flatbank first, and just really pulling the front end up and round. As you take off look over your shoulder, and push round with legs.
yes i can do it down stairs like that, and i hop the other way only when going up or over things

The 180 in that video sucks, you have to actually bunnyhop, he just lifted his bike up and cranked really hard to the left, it looks nasty. Try doing a bunnyhop then spinning, looks better.

Do you spin 180 or just like 90?

I think you have to land in a position to roll out of the hop, with your wheel slightly turned.

DO NOT take my word for it, though. I've 180ed about twice.

Although that would make sense... I'm one of those people who gives people pointers on shit they can't do cause I understand how to do it Big Grin

It took me a yer before i could do them to hlf cabs.
You need to remember to bunny hop and the thing that helped me most...
Tucking my legs, as in bending them into my chest so to speak.
this also h

Learning the 180 hopping with both tires at the same time will make you slap yourself in the future. Learn it hopping correctly, front wheel in the air first. It's harder to learn, but much more useful. Also, turn your bars a little less than 90 degress in mid air before you land, and it will make it easier to complete the 180.

i cant seem to 180 i can get halfway but then i fall off. Any tips would help
Its all about where you look same with hop 3's just keep turning your head
in steps
1 pedal to a comfortable speed
2 carve your front tire
3 bunny hop and turn your head
4 land and look at your front tire while pedaling backwards
5 turn your head once more to roll out

Add to step 3: look over your shoulder not under I was landing 180 no problem but then I tried looking over my shoulder and I spun to 270 with the same effort.

dude i just learned them today there super easy once you do it once

what you gotta do is do a small bunnyhop and jerk your bike around make sure your at a comfortable pace

but the most important part is looking around your shoulder as you will spin faster well actually not neccesarely faster but i find it easier

I DONT CARE what others think this is how i learnt and how i like to do them

try it up banks its easier than flat
