Go lil faster hop high and tuck them knees and look at the top of your shoulder while hopping.

Start rolling a little faster. It will make it a little easier to get more pop on the bike. You need more lift. That’s what you should be focusing on. You need to be able to ride out that 180• and flip the back around. 180 to 180 is how I would practice it,

Right now, you’re fighting against your own weight, which is over the bars. Instead, when you pop, pop straight up with your torso forward and perpendicular to the ground. You’ll spin way easier.

Sounds like a cassette rear hub. I’d continually add some more speed so you get into the roll out. Once in the backwards roll, turn your wheel left or right after the 180 (whichever direction is comfortable), then turning your front wheel to forward direction and pedal.

Your biggest issue by far is that you are hopping both wheels at the same time and only getting 2 inches off the ground. Your rotation looks fine. Just gotta add some height

You need to pull the front tire up while the rear is still on the ground just like u would for a regular hop. You’re hopping with both tires, other than that you’re fine.

My tips from the video would be –
– wheelie more into the hop
– at the top of the wheelie start to hop the knees and whip the back out and look
– look further over your shoulder to the landing zone. Should have your eyes at 180 or more
– practice rolling up to a wall and popping the back tire up and rolling out backwards. This will help rolling out of a 180 feel better. Currently you are keeping your weight forward and it’s stopping what little backwards momentum you have left and then you pedal out forwards.
– don’t worry about monthly progress just be stoked on all progress, in one year of near daily riding you are going to be worlds different, just keep riding and be proud of the little steps in progress
– a speed bump was a sweet feature for me to practice 180s
I just barely got em down on a 20”BMX I tried after 20years and now ride a DJ and relearning due to the added weight and all that. ❤️🤘💪

This sound silly, but fully turning your head in the direction that you’re spinning is absolutely mandatory. Your body will do the rest. Give it a try & I bet you’ll land one 🙂

Just a bit more hop!
