Hmm, try static bunnyhopping first... then try pivoting/tilting the bike in the air...
As for ledge 180 dropoffs... it will be a lot easier if you pivot your rear wheel out and lift the front while slightly tilting the bike to do the spin... its quite easy but kinda tricky to get at first.
As for plain 180/360 dropoffs/spins at speed... I haven't reached that stage yet
lol

Start by riding really slow, then turn your handle bars kinda fast almost to the point where your would flip over, right then do your bunny hop while pulling your bike with you. The "whip" from turning your bars will help your get around. Then roll back a little, slam on the back brake and turn around. Or do another 180 like me.
Hope this helps!

How do you "like turn ur bike tire", duh
[EDIT] i meant u, so I can be lazy like NorcoLover
push one side of the handlebars and pull the other
and, as a heads up, you need a gyro, not the freestyle handlebar mabobby, an actually gyroscope, start it up before you do some riding
and
in
midair you should spin becuase of the
gyro,try it
i gguarantee
