Ok so i understand this sounds like a totally noobish thread but bear with me. So i was recently trying bar catch bars and got them basically 7 times out of 10. So after that i went to go do bar catch whips and it turned out disasterous. Can anyone give some help. Like i can late whip and catch my bars, but i cant but the trick together. Any tips?

i just learned them. committ < spelling ? get a decent size ramp, throw your bars faster and make sure you catch them and when you do it cant be a sketchy catch. make sure it is clean. the second after you catch your bars just whip and keep practicng

I think it's the transition that's tripping you up. You throw the bar, catch it, think you should be able to tailwhip, but your body won't do it. I personally cannot do them but I assume that if you try to bar by feel and think about the whip as you're catching it then you can get it. Hope I helped.

if you treat it as two seperate tricks in the air like clean bar, catch EVERYTHING then whip and catch it will look and feel a thousand times better but a bunch of people like morph it together into some ugly thing like taking their foot off early and not catching their barspin completely, it just nasty, and i don't know what the fuck it is.

no, hes not talking about an all out rotorwhip, he's talking about how people do like 3/4 of a bar about to catch it, then begin to whip, and then kinda miss the bar and ----- it just isn't clean cut. And you mean bar to bar, which would mean catching

Ahh bar whips. I love this trick. I like what mcinnis said. Pretty much sums up how i do them. Just throw your bar, catch it CLEAN, then flick the deck and use your wrists to bring it back.

i went out to ride before it snowed to day, and basically almost got the entire trick, but what was happening is that i caught my bar, flicked the whip got it all the way around and by the time all of that was done, both me and my scooter hit the ground. How am i supposed to get the whip faster so i can get it under me by the time i hit the ground. btw this was off a kicker.

Bar whips are kind of self explanatory.
Just make sure you catch the bar all the way and then kick the whip really hard.
And practice.

get hella air. A split second after you get that bar in your hand throw the whip. Try your best to catch the whip too cuz you can hurt or break ankles like i did just landing it on a spine!
