Ok. So i've been trying to 180 for about a year and a half now and i just cant seem to get it. I quit for a while out of frustration because i seemed to be the only person out of my friends that has this problem. I recently started trying again and am having the same problem. Whats happening is, i start off with one crank on my pedals and sway right, then left. While swaying to the left i turn my head and lift my front tire and my back and i get close to 180 degrees but my right foot automatically jumps off the pedal. Just like that. When i try to 180 without taking my foot off the pedal, my back tired hardly comes off the ground and my front tire does a 90 degree turn. I can only get the rotation by taking my right foot off of the pedal while in the air. Just happens naturally. No i am not scared at all so please don't say that. My bike weighs in around 26 or 27 pounds and is slightly back heavy. My friends can do it on my bike though so that is not the problem. I 180 to the left by the way. Thanks.
