Ok, question time. A bunnyhop 180 doesn't seem too hard. Is that a handy skill to have? I may try it off a small jump, but what do I do from there? And no, I don't think I'll work my way up to a "360 to broken clavicle".

Do I use the rear brake to pivot? I'm trying to learn some moves that I can practice in my backyard, since I don't get much time right now to go jumping.

I don't bother with the brakes. Just land with your front tire facing the wrong way, lean back, swing your front end around so that you're facing forwards again.

He's trying to suggest that nosestacking is the way to land (wrong), and that you need to backpedal (which should be obvious enough).

I learned how to ride fakie and pivot out before the 180. It seems like it's easier to learn that first so you know what to do when you land.
