im pretty sure its called proprioception(ie spatial awareness) but i can ... restart the replay of the trick in my head im trying to do and emulate the physics involved and i can skip around and analyze how i want something to look/ what needs to be done to do the trick. its not some magic bs or anything, i still have to actually perform the tricks and that takes time and effort just like anything else. but i have a very very very strong/accurate visualization of how things are supposed to move, and it doesnt translate to just bikes or whatever it could be the arc of a basketball from a certain distance, i can see clear as day the arc the ball should take to swish into the net, can i actually throw the ball properly, sometimes xd
on a side note, while i might not be the best at controlling my body in the way i visualize, my friends are, i can ramble about how they should move to perform tricks and work on how to make it look better and explaining it in ways they can understand(the explaining part is a big L sometimes) and theyve learned alot more and do way cooler stuff than i can now.
i recently picked up skateboarding, it took me 5 tries to land my first ollie and 3 after that to land my first popshuv(backside)
it took about 10 tries to get kickflips to rotate but its been over 100 attempts and i havent landed one yet, i got both feet on the board once but i fell off instantly so i didnt really land balanced. i can throw hardflips every time since i was trying shuvs but i have no idea how to get my body to catch em
my other friend with a scooter/skating background learned 360s within his first 2 days of farting around in a parking lot for a few mins on my bike, he landed hopbarspins within like 5 tries or something after a long time of pullupbars, its been 6 years of me doing pullup bars and ive never gotten myself to commit, but did take alot of explaining how the bike moves and what they are supposed to feel and it just... works for them
