180 Degree Hops?

[modifiedridah2k9]

Hey,

Quick question, how do you do 180 degree hops, i can only do 90 degree, im tailwhiping 90 degrees and hoping 90 but i want to hop 180, do i need to tailwhip 180 in order to do this??

Thanks to all.

obvious answer, but spin further lol

when spining turn your head and look at where you want to land at, doin this will turn your shoulders and the rest of your body will follow

before u do a endo turn the wheel sharply then snap the brake in, that should get u further.

use pedal kick with 180 hops its hard to get the hang off but u will eventually get it.

I don't think this has what you after, however it does have other tricks on there which might help you in the future.

Try twisting your body in the opposite direction that you plan to spin and crouching. Turn your head as far round as possible and jump up to start the spin. It's all about how you coil up your body... feels a bit unnatural at first but even with a flat spin you can get well past 180 degrees

Pretty much what people have said already - just like to hop upwards you have to push into the ground, for a spin you have to twist the opposite way to the direction you want to turn to preload for the spring in the direction you want. Still working on getting the front wheel to land where the back wheel was and the back where the front was though, I always tend to spin slightly more around the back wheel than the centre of the bike, so I land almost a foot behind where I took off from.
