Is that the only thing i should practice? I feel like im doing something wrong with the back wheel am I ? And how high should i bring my front tire

Didn't watch but basically the key to hoping is doing a lot all at once like your life depends on it

What i do is compress some aka get low, pre hop what ever you want to call it

Then kinda jump in a way as you pull the front end of the bike up and once its high begin to push forward and curl those legs and pull the back end off the ground with the grip on your feet

Eventually it will almost become one motion practice makes perfect so go out there and hop around and get comfortable with it

The arms matter more than your legs.

Scoop up the rear with more gusto, then, as soon as it is in the air, use your arms for the motion instead while preparing your legs for the landing.

Like, "hey bar, come here, I love you!" and then "Hey bar, you are disgusting, goodbye!"

Oh and compress like hell. Get stiff, low, stock the energy and release it like you've never taken a shit in your whole life.

Hope that helps XP

My advice left on your YouTube video comments but it is pretty much exactly what Mr goodbar said.

Pedals and speed won't make a difference. Just follow what Mr goodbar said here and what I said in the YouTube content. Try that for a day or 2 then post another video.

I saw this this but when i shift my weight back i cant get it back foward

I wouldn't worry about all those little steps. You will be over thinking it. Just focus on what we said. I stopped riding for 39 years and just started again last year. I didn't have to relearn bunny hops but I did have to learn how to control a small 20 in bike. At first I was pulling up on the front so hard I would loop out before I got may back up. A few tries later I was good. To get up higher practice jumping over thing. Make sure it is something will give when you hit it so you don't hurt yourself.

I tried hopping a curb and 2x4 I didn't make it i can learn forward and bring my back up but its only about 3-4 inches as in step 2 of this tutorial

Btw do you lean forward after you lean back to bring your back up or do u just use your feet?

Don't worry about leaning back or forward all that will do is throw you too much in one direction. Concentrate on pulling up your front tire. If you happen to lean back so be it but don't focus on it. I focused to much on lifting my front tire and tucking while trying to learn 180s and all that did was throw me off. Just relax and find a fluid motion and go with it.

It will get better with practice. Just. Practice.

Last thing I'm going to say is this. I learned to 180 minus a clean fakie In about 5 practice sessions. I have been riding for at least 4 months daily and can't manual. Some things take more time. Just practice and watch slow motion videos. It will come in time. We gave you all the tips you need. Now it's up to you to put it all together. No one technique is going to magically make it happen. Everyone has there own way and when you finally get it you will have yours. Stop asking and keep practicing.
