Variations of 180 BMX Bike Tricks

Video Transcript

"180s is one of the versatile tricks you can possibly learn up there is bunny hops even. You can apply them in all sorts of different variations to all sorts of different terrain anywhere from bunny hopping or doing 180s on to a object, off of an object, over a jump, up out of jump. Let me show you a couple of my favorite variation. Here is over a hip, now a fly out, half gap, as you see those two variation that I did where a little bit different. The 180 over the hip you don't rotate quiet as much so your actually allowed to not quiet spin 180 degrees cause it gives you a smoother roll out. However if you are doing a 180 up onto a flat surface out of a wedge ramp like I just did you want to get a little bit more speed like you are coming up onto the object and makes sure you land again nice and center so you have a nice control roll back. The tip to 180s is always to get speed and make sure you are going high enough cause a lot of the time it is very easy to not pop high enough. The thing is once you have 180s down you have a whole new avenue of tricks that you can try. You can do them off of stuff, up onto stuff, you know out of take offs, over hips as I showed you and basically it is one of those tricks where each variation is a little bit different. But it is all the same basic motion and with a little bit of practice you can have a whole lot of fun with them. "
