Dude 180 tire pivots are the bomb exspecially for us who can't do 360s yet lol!

haha yeah I just learned how to do that recently. Can't do 360s yet. And definitely still need to work on my 180s but I'm getting better

Hot. I wish I could 180.

Dude I've never been able to 180 until just recently. Just keep practicing and you'll get it. It's really not as hard as I thought at first

That's the plan. I don't have a BMX, so I'm doing them on a dirt jumper. But the concept is the same as skateboarding, I just don't have the strength built up.

The concept is nothing like skateboarding

Keep your mass centered- shouldn't need your arms much for keeping balance. If you keep most of your weight over the cranks, that leaves your arms and upper body more freedom to twist.

@creegz bmxs don't have to be very expensive. If you could find something nice and used that's decent quality and a decent weight that would be fine. You could probably find something pretty good for 300-400 bucks

That's the plan later on. I still have to finish rebuilding my current bike.

Also, @R-trailking-S's explanation makes it sound a lot like doing a 180 on a skateboard.
