Been trying to do 180s for a bit but can't get it down. I understand that I need to do a full hop but how do you get the back wheel up? Also, what other things can I do to improve? Thanks.
Go faster, and turn your head harder. It might help to look down more (like in your armpit instead of over your shoulder) to help you get your back end up.

No need to carve that much it is not 360 you can do 180 even while standing still so focus more on turning your head + your shoulders and looking on where you gonna land

You land *exactly* where you’re looking. From what I can see, this is (by far) your biggest problem. (Always) look where you *want* to go. Not at where you are, or where you don’t want to go. Millions of years of evolution has trained your body to follow your head, and your head to follow your eyes, and it’s *very* good at it. Keep winding it up until you can spot the landing, and *then* unwind and land it and land.

You got a good hop, but you need to turn your head more. You also don’t have to curve that much, it might make the routation a bit easier but it will make the fakie harder

Look over your shoulder, not at the front wheel. Where the head goes the body will follow.
