Hello vital
I know 180 threads are annoying, but I started learning 'em few weeks ago, and I think Im pretty close to landing one flat.
But theres a problem.

heres a video of me doing some 180s on a bank from today -

&index=1&list=UU6wGg7zGj4AYz_TuaT1v3-A
Am I doing them right, and if not, what am I doing wrong? I just want to know if I am on the right track. (You can slo-mo the video from where you adjust the quality in order to see better what exactly I am doing) (and ignore that dumb fail at the end D:

but sometimes this happens -

&list=UU6wGg7zGj4AYz_TuaT1v3-A&index=2
And I have no idea why. I would land 3 180s in a row and then try do land 3 more, and I would screw them up, like in this video. The video with the fails was shot after I got a few proper ones. please tell me how do I fix this.

I really want to learn 180s and I will be reaaaally glad if you can help me out.
thanks

they look good to me. also I dont think you will land one everytime once you start to get them flat but they will get consistant if you practice them

Baby steps!

Once you get them dialed on that bank, try them on a smaller one and then a smaller one and then a smaller one!

When you're too tired to rotate anymore, try fakies off of walls and stuff.
