Looking for tips on an easy trick please

I'm a far cry from trials or any tricks beyond hopping right now, but
something in me keeps shouting to try this move: Ride forwards, stop
quickly and use the compression to do a powerful hop, spin 180 sideways,
land and ride in the opposite direction. Any tips for a beginner on
this? Thanks for any info.

Learn to ride backward is key. The 180 is easy. But the flow from the
180 to backwards is the hardest.

Just get confidence and try. And wear a helmet. Just in case.

What really helped me figure these out was some advice from a more
experienced rider, "Look the direction you're turning then let your body
catch up with your head." That's always worked for me.

hmmmm
he's not trying to ride off backwards,
chauncy has some good advice, but i would say it would be better to
attempt 90 degree turns first... start just pogo type hopping, then turn
a little at a time, working up to 90 degree turns... then work toward
180's without all the little hops.
the little hops will help you balance in your turn.
