  1. Ok I need a little help doing 180's (hopping) and this my progress so
    far:
    I can easily do a 90 degree turn in the air. I can hop maybe 10cm and
    whenever I go for a 180 I never make it around all the way. I know to
    do a prehop to bounce and hop higher but what else should I do?

    While you're at it could you also tell me what static means (like a
    static hop down a 4 set)

  2. static means you're not moving before you (insert trick here). e.g, I
    could ride up to a curb and hop up while still moving (rolling), or I
    could ride up, then stop and hop around a bit before jumping up
    (static).

    As for the 180's, I can't really offer much, though it seems if you
    twist your shoulders around first, the rest of your body (and the uni)
    will follow.

  3. Well to 180 hop i move my lower body around and the top follows...i have
    found that when i 180 i pause for a few seconds and then jump...or
    whilst riding just start to turn and hop out of it and you should be
    able to 180 hop whilst riding...
