reverse 180 is easy, hual ass in reverse, cut the wheel the desired direction, and there you go...or if you dotn have ABS like my old jetta, you can slam on the front brakes after you cut the wheel and it locks the fronts up and swings around no problem. at least thats the way i had success with....very fun on gravel roads.

a little more to it than that. u haved to know how to control the spin which can be different on different surfaces, speeds, angles, and car u are in: weight, the weight transfer during the spin can upset the car, also front wheel, rear wheel, and allwheel drive cars have to be controled a little different. A shorter wheel base car is ideal for doing any of these. After alittle practice anybody can do this however doing this at higher speed is alot more difficult and more fun No body learns w/o practice.

The only way to do it is practice on your own or have someone show you...they are easy to learn as long as you can drive the car and not let the car drive you. Having someone show you while u in the passenger seat is the best way to learn but u first must find someone that knows how too. Be careful tho because it can be dangerous if you really have no idea what you are doing. ive watched many cars flip trying to perform these tricks. Slow kyle has the right idea but much much more is involved with many factors the reverse 180 i found to be the easiest to learn so try that first. If you need help feel free to ask i would rather see someone do it right then get messed up!
