For rolling 180 spins, I try to jump straight in the air rather than
putting unequal force on one pedal, this should stop your pedals from
"hicking". Same goes for 360s.
As for hands on or hands off, I personally keep my hands on, even for
540s, so it's really preference. I would recommend keeping hold of the
handle as I think it gives more stablity when landing, but try this out
for yourself. Also, something that none have mentioned, or I've not
noticed, I try to land seat in, again even on 540s. This tends to make
it easier to land on the pedals. I found when trying to land seat out I
was too far back to land on the pedals.

It seems this is quite an important skill for alot of people, I like
that as unispins have always had a special place in my heart, so I
might try and get out and film a tutorial on a couple of things for you
guys.

doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

Nice!. I think my biggest problem is hand positioning. I've got to get
better at 180's first too. Very nice work on the powerpoint though it
explains a lot of things. Theres one blank slide though lol

Thx Jerrick, this helped ALOT. I finally landed a unispin after 3 days
of practice.

Learning the 180 jump mount really helps.
