  1. Anyone have tips on 180-360 turns? I haven't figured out how
    to do it yet. A video would be very appreciated.

  2. ok heres how i do it.

    i find spins on the spot very hard because of the size /
    grip of my tyre ("24X"3)

    findout which way you prefer to turn ( i prefer left so
    thats what i will describe)

    first i slow right down as the pedal comes into the
    right spot..

    if turning left::: the right spot will be with the left
    foot ready to go downwards, as you push that foot
    downwards use your arms and uper body to pivot yourself
    round. with practice you can do a perfect 180 without even
    going a few inches.

    hope this helps! post me back so i can be sure u get it

  3. I take the "skateboard" approach to 180s

    I pedal until my cranks are even, then I throw my
    shoulder (left to right or right to left) with all my
    body weight, turn, and then stop. From there I ride away
    or turn back around.

    To get this in the air, just add a little hop to it.
