Just ride a bunch. The only way to get better, especially on a 20" is to ride as much as possible. These days, it's all I ride...aside from my fixie.

If you're concerened with how good you are, you're probably not good enough. When I go to this one park to ride, this kid always comes up to me and says, "Hey I'm getting better!" I always tell him that's good. Then he asks, "So you getting any better?" I just answer, I'm here to ride so get outta my way.

um..ok pple ty im still tryin 2 get that 180 down
Ok, here are some tips that might help.

What foot do you ride back with?

So if you ride left foot back, use your left foot as the "push" foot, meaning you will spin counter clockwise.

If you ride right foot back spin clockwise

Instead of trying to bunny hop, and twist in one motion, try to lift the front wheel off the ground, the twist your body the direction you want to turn the try to pull the rear wheel off the ground, and complete the 180.

Once you land backwards, immediately pedal in reverse, you should actually focus on this until it becomes natural. turn your front wheel, and turn the bike around until you are riding forwards again.

Trying it off little ledges to grassy downward slope will help you cheat at first. Just keep at them. If youre spinning right, make sure youre looking over your right shoulder like your trying to look at your own back and that will help you pull it around.

This is for all of you people who were talking about my spelling. First of all I was using my psp to type, because my computer was not working, so I had shorten my words. Second this is a forum on bikes! not on how to spell or shorten your words. So if you dont like how I was spelling things then dont even post on my dam thread because you are just wasting my time.
