"NICK GRALIKE: Hey it's Nick here at Ramp Riders in St. Louis and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. This clip we're going to talk about adding some style to your 180. There are two different things you can do, there's probably a lot of others. One thing that looks really cool is whenever you bunny hop real high and you spin it. What I mean by that is like you've going long and make it look real good. You seemed-like you bunny hop like really high, you're just like woah and you 180. It looks real cool if you can do it. It will take a lot of practice getting used to. You gotta be able to bunny hop real high, you gotta be really comfortable with your spinning. Another one that looks real cool, one of my first of favorite tricks is called the nose through 180. It's a 180 but the whole time you actually keep your front of your bike nose down so what you're going to do is when you're rolling along and instead of bunny hopping all the way, what you're going to do is you're only going to bunny hop the back of your bike, so you're just going to kinda slide it and your front wheel, as you saw, stays on the ground the whole time. You're going to roll away, fakie, and then you're going to back pedal and you'll come of it, rolling away straight. You could promptly turn around you're going straight you'll land it. The nose pivot is one of those tricks that it will take a little bit more time to get used to. You going to learn how to actually ride on your nose, gotta get used to being on the front of your back like and that's it. You have to learn how to actually just roll along for that trick and just be able to pick up the back of your bike like that and as far as bunny hopping high and doing a 180 just knowing how to bunny hop high and spin and be comfortable with both and that's how you add some style on to your 180."
