Only just recently learned to do these, and it took tons of practise: about 30 hours solid 180ing, all told - not all in one go of course lol, did 1-2 hours a day for about 3 weeks. It ain't easy learning this kinda balance when you're old like me lol.
So, I know it ain't much, but I wanted to show you guys, and also hopefully get any tips on how to improve my 180s, in case you notice something I might be doing wrong?

| Those 180s look great to me, Merrie! Good job! Looks like you figured out a way to hold your camera up, too, or is that a new camera? Man... I need to work on my flatland.... |

Thanks guys.
My problem is every time I stop doing them for a few days (like I'm having to do today because my legs are knackered from learning vert) I forget how to do them, and it takes half an hour to be able to do them again lol. But I'm sure I'll get there

Indeed, I found a way to hold up the old camera by stuffing it precariously into the pocket of a rucksack that I sometimes wear on my back for extra protection. |
