I've been practicing these for the last couple weeks but can't seem to get it right. I can consistently get to about 90 degrees but not much further than that. I know I'm supposed to be looking in the direction I'm turning but it feels super sketchy lol…

Commit more with your weight. You’re getting over the front wheel enough in most cases but your weight distribution seems off. It’s like you’re hesitating when the back wheel leaves the ground.
I would go faster. You’re not getting enough inertia built up.
Practice on grass and go hard. Plan on falling a lot then back off gradually. Things usually feel more intense than they really are so basically just send it.
Look back, over your shoulder to where you want to be pointed. Currently you’re staring at your front wheel
In light of the unhelpful comment: I can’t 180, but something that stands out to me is how stiff and straight your arms look. Move your chest lower and more forward maybe?
Try carving a bit more/faster. Then after you get better and more comfortable you can start to dial it back
Enjoy them balls hitting the tube lol…
I think you need to be going a little faster and commit to it, the front brake also doesn’t look very sharp to me. You need to lock that front wheel up pretty quickly.
Don’t worry too much about having lots of speed at first.
My advice would be to turn the bars initially much further around and faster together with your shoulders. This will load up your hips with a twisting energy that you can use to pull the bike around.
