When I learned to rollback, it took me a solid hour of doing nothing but rolling up a ramp & going backards to get it down.
In your first vid - you did the 180 & if you were in the street, & could rollback, you'd have pulled it.
Another tip - do a small carve into the 180.
And yes, I pay my own bills and don't want to get hurt also. But lets face it - we're talking hop 180's NOT double-backflips. To me it looks like you're over-exaggerating your crashes in your vids. I can't remember ever not staying on my feet on a 180 gone wrong.

Dont have any ramps and i curently dont have the cash to build a decent 1/4 pipe. Ive only been riding for about 2-3 weeks. Next $100 i get will go towards one. Just built a dirt ramp but im having trouble getting speed to even clear it. Ill probably start a thread for someone to give me some ramp building tips... me and my roommate spent the last 2 days digging it out down the street from our house. Its not exaggerating i roll out of falls on my sholder because its safer then just hitting the ground and jamming something... Im going to go try a few in the street and see what happens
