hello everyone...i have been riding XC for a number of years now, and i have decided to get in to some urban freeride...now i am trying to get the 180 bunnyhop down but i can only get half of the rotation (consistantly anyway, once and a while the tail of my bike will swing a lil further)
here is what i am doing (pavement to grass)

1.ride up at a jogging pace
2.cut hard right leading with shoulders and eyes
3.hop
4.land 90 degrees and a little more frustrated from were a started

now i have noticed that when i land my body is parallel with the bike meaning maybe i need to twist more?

does anyone have any tips to learn this trick?
o and my bike is a 2006 cindercone...it is a XC bike so the stem is pretty long, would that affect my street riding? should i invest in a DH style stubby stem?


thanks very much!!
scott
