180 bunnyhop on flatground

[bak3r]

My highest bunnyhop was perhaps 45cm (1.5 ft). I've seen some guys make 360s from bout 2ft ledges. They told me to like pul my bars up and to the side before i even get off the ground, then lift my back tire and there - 180 bunnyhop. I eventually get my nose up and to the side, spin on my back tire about 30 dergees, then lift my bck tyre and spin only 90 degrees. if i try to spin faster my buike turns horizontal. Any tips on maybe beginning the hop, or how to spin??

Thanks for the support Infantry, and for shoveling the hopping threads my way. I know that Vic is jealous :)

First I would say 45cm is a pretty good hop. Slightly carving toward the direction the bike will spin JUST before (as) you pull up on the front tire might help. Also your head has a lot to do with it. Make sure you head is turning in the direction you want to spin, looking behind you almost. Of course you don't have to try this off of a 2' ledge, just on flat ground first.
If the bike is getting horizontal, I would GUESS (all I can do) that you are shifting your weight too much to one side, (usually the inside) and/or the bike is hitting the ground sideways and throwing you to the side. Spin faster, use your HEAD as the navigator for the spin, and wind up your body just before you execute, then unspring.
