Umm I haven't really tried learning abubacas but my friend who can do them says you should try to just roll onto the coping, instead of hopping into it.
Sorry if i'm not much help.

I have a new question again...If im going to jump onto a rail or ledge to grind, how would i jump on? (i dont mean straight on) Ive tried riding sort of diagonally towards it and then jumping and trying to whip the back out onto it...but i cant jump sideways and get on. I cant even get up a curb jumping like that. (even though i can jump 2 feet going straight) Any tips???

Nice bars.
Also, brakeless fufs are one of the best things ever on a bmx, if the person doing them is good that is.

I hated my DK bars, way to small, plus they aren't even 4130.

I can do one-handed, one-leg, and x-up rear peg stands, but I can't seem to hold them. I can't even seem to hold a regular peg stand. I have my bars aligned with the forks, have tried keeping my rear back, and keeping the bars to my chest. The only thing I can think of is my bike is too heavy. Any tips?

I ride right foot forward, 180 to my right, and grind of my left. All of my friends are telling me that i ride the wrong way, and that i need to either learn to ride with my left foot forward or grind on my right and 180 to my left. Is that true? There basically saying that you need to have your foot forward that the side your pegs are on. Then I would have to relearn 180's and the other day i just learned how to get the full rotation after a few months of practice.

This is just a unibody, very, very hard to lift. Plus it's going to the scrap yard in a few days and I'll put my WRX on the road.
What year wrx??? We just did some work on my friends 07 STI and took it to get dynotuned... put down 408 at the wheels which is decent for only a bigger turbo/injectors/frontmount.

Dude, chill out. It's only your 4th day riding.
Be happy you're close to a 180 and can hop about 2 feet. I'm still working on my manuals/wheelies and bunny hops/mountain climbs.

If you could do a 180 within only 4 days of attempting them, then we would all be pro. It took me 4 months to learn a 180. And if you can hop 2 feet and manual well after only 4 days of trying, then your amazing.
