I should have had these down years ago but its like as soon as I got the concept of hopping and spinning I went straight to 3's and when I attempt to 180 I accidently 3 tap. The only way I land an actual 180 is if I do a little baby hop when going slow, which I think looks corny. When I try to go high I always land back wheel first and either pivot into a 3 or just land awkwardly. I land 3s easily and feel I can move on to the 540 if I could only get my 180s right. Wish I could record so I could get some feedback. Anyone else have similar experience?

My speed isnt really the issue. 3s just feel more natural and when i go faster i end up landing 270 or a retarded looking backwards manual

Are you able to do a legit 360 or are you doing the pivot 360?

Slightly back wheel first but a full 3. 180s feel weird to me and when i try to tuck at 90 I over rotate. If i don't tuck i land back wheel first and fudge up the fakie. Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow so i can practice again

I find it hard to level out on 180s so i end up coming down hard on my back wheel instead of landing clean. It only works for me if i baby hop

If you have a freecoaster, just learn hop 180s to backwards manuals.

Problem solved.
