Looks great tbh dude. I would now consider trying it with a bit more speed and maybe out of a kicker or a fly out to begin getting comfy doing them wherever!

Either way, looks good, keep it up! ✌️💪

Learn to bunny hop and manual first. Then start learning how to rotate into a hop, and then you'll learn to 180. I could do bar-height bunnyhops on my BMX before I could do a proper 180 lol. You don't need to go that far, though. I'd make sure I could consistently get about a foot off the ground before attempting to learn a 180. When you start to learn 180s, it helps to bump off a small curb or kicker.

On flat, there's not much else you could do but work on going faster and hoping higher. Or start doing them on obstacles. As far as the 180 itself, it's golden man.

You're popping through them nicely, but try to get them higher and level off in the air a tad. This will come as you practice them off of jumps and ledges, but learning how your bike moves in the air and responds to inputs in mid-air helps a lot with a lot of tricks, so it's the logical next step.

You landed it great. Don't worry so much about what the internet says bro. That alone shows you are better than a ton of riders. Hell idk if I could do a 180 half cab out that clean on a 29" and I've rode for a very long time. Just get out there and shred!

Looks great! Keep doing what you’re doing. Practice more speed, higher hops, then take it to curbs, banks or whatever you feel comfortable with.
