Try giving yourself a lil carve before you start the rotation and if you refuse then just tuck your legs a bit and that will increase your angular velocity

Look for a spot with a small pop out or fly out to finish the rotation, then try on flat

Your legs are staying fairly straight during the rotation. Try to think about tucking the bike up into you during the spin. Do a few bunnyhops as high as you can for a bit, get used to that scrunch up motion. It’s not easy to make that happen right away. You’ll eventually get the spring up for it, and bunching the bike up towards you will give that last bit of ground clearance to finish it.

Turn your head so you’re looking in the direction you’re spinning

Habibi! I just recently got the hang of hop 3s so my advice could be beneficial.
Think of going in a straight line first to start with no uneven weight distribution. Then, counter carve to your other direction by 45 degrees without compressing. Think of it as swinging a baseball bat, you want to wind it back first then swing.
Then, carve quickly while compressing heavily until you reach 45 degrees in the direction of your spin (90 degree turn in total), where you’ll then take off, tuck the legs, and look at the ground under you to help you land two-wheeled.
All these tips really helped me get past 180-270 and actually start landing near 360s on flat. Hope this helps!

For me it took going slower and learning to carve in to the spin. Also sucking your feet up and dipping the front wheel will level you out. When i was learning them it was 2006 so i just watched Edwin do them over and over and over haha.But it looks like you’re well on the way, props dude
