when you say 180s do you do surface 180s? If so, try some ollie 180s, if you can do ollie 180s, try them wake to wake, if you can do w2w 180s, try to grab them.

You didnt mention being able to jump wake to wake, the most important thing to learn as a beginer is a progressive cut. It sounds like you are solid on the board so i would suggest working on your progressive cut (see trick tips page) and get some ollie 180s, switch ollie 180s and ollie backside 180s, then bounce through them in a row - simple but it can look cooler than the other side of the pillow.
