I've looked over the older threads and I just have a few more questions and i guess ranting just cause this is so frustrating.
I've been practicing and just cant get the motions down.
I understand that you have to lift the front wheel up first and then the rear wheel, but everytime I try this, I end up with some weird manual thing that only gets 90 degrees over that just bends the rear wheel.
With the 180, when lifting the front wheel, do you throw all your weight back? or is the weight still centered over the bike? Should I be lifting straight up? or pulling to one side and looking back as I lift the front end up? If I do that correctly, the back should naturally come around right?
I see videos and go frame by frame looking at their motions, and try to copy it. In my mind's eye, it seems so simple, just a quick twisting and lifting motion and they're around, but try as I can, I just cant get it! It doesn't help that I have no where to practice, Ive been practicing in a parking garage on flat ground. This is so damn frustrating. Day after day, no progression, just constantly destroying my rear wheel. How long did it take you guys to get 180s down?
