Bunny Hop 360

A full spin, you and the bike together, out of a bunny hop.

Difficulty
Gnarly
Can you do it?

The lowdown

A full spin, you and the bike together, out of a bunny hop. It is a 180 with a much stronger carve and a committed head turn.

Fun fact

360s are the base of 540s, truckdrivers and every spin combination that comes after them.

Tips

Carve into it harder than a 180 but keep it controlled, or the bike jackknifes. Smooth flat ground first, then take it to drops and banks.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

  1. Whipping with your arms then looking back. Keep your head turned over your shoulder all the way round until you spot the landing.

  2. Not tucking the bike underneath you. Pull the bars in and your knees up together; a compact body spins faster.

  3. Fixing an under-rotation on landing. Roll away in whatever direction you landed rather than wrenching the bike straight.

  4. Chasing the full spin straight away. Land 270s first and roll out; the last quarter comes as the carve and tuck get stronger.

What you need

BMX bike, helmet, and pads for ramps and rails. Learn this one into foam or resi first

Why it's Gnarly: A 180 lands with the eyes already on the ground; a 360 needs the head to lead a full turn while the bike is tucked under you. Twice the rotation from the same hop.
