is it like a pull and spin as hard as you can, or more like a clean bronco and then spin? It seems like i want to just yank and turn and i landed one this way but it seems like if i went into a turn from a bronco it would be the proper way. just need some advice thanks

The proper 180 technique is to not use the word bronco ever again. Ever. Not ever. Never.

The only way I'd give a shit about the origin is if someone gave me a time machine so I could back in time and stop whoever coined that term from giving it that name.
A j-hop, bronco hop, pro-hop, and whatever else, are fucking stupid. In my opinion at least, and a lot of others will agree.

This times ten fucking thousand. And to clear it up for OP, proper technique is to pull up your front tire first, then your back tire
Honestly? Who gives a shit. Its the fucking internet. I hate all of you equally.

When I was a kid all the older dudes would say a footjam on flat to stop was a bronco...This one dude I know would argue that a hop was called a "pro hop" .. Dude was all argumentative about it and shit. HAHAA!

Stopping with the back wheel in the air was an endo, no matter how you got there.
A front Manual was a rolling endo.
No clue when a rolling endo became a front manual or stoppie mainstream wise.
There has been morons calling bunnyhops, J-hops and broncos since the early 80s.
Primarily so they felt they knew more tricks I guess.

Pop and pull and look behind you. Pretty simple. 180s are the easiest thing.

I just NEVER ever get comfortable with spins, for the love of God.... They scare me shitless sometimes, especially after I tried to 180 a 2 foot drop after the first few months of learning 180's, where I under-rotated and hit my head on the ground a bit. Being goofy-footed makes it hard for sure, but even then, people who are goofy-footed do it totally like nothing, and they don't do it off-axis like I do most of the time (where you don't 180 straight). Manual 180's are even worse to learn than 3's for me, and don't even get me started on 3's, lol.
