Catching Tailwhips.

[Leeph]

When I whip tailwhips I seem to stand in a "ski" position, and now I cant catch them in mid-air.

I was wondering if I were to switch stances, if it would help.

Any other skiers? x)

Ill expirement (?) tommorrow.

well im regular and i catch my tailwhips with one foot, and that is my back foot.. you can also catch it with your front foot, orrr alot of people mainly catch with both feet but since you're a skier, try either of those possibillities

i dobt really now how to catch tailwhips in ski postion but i say just keep practicing.

i ride ski i can't catch tialwhips that well but i do it back foot then put my front on like gary. after your first time it seems easy trust me.

You catch ski? Thats really funky, i used to ride ski and would catch regular. Just try switching to regular/goofy, its not that hard and only takes a little bit to get used to.

yea id try to just learn to catch with your feet a little staggered, theres more of your feet on the deck so it will be easier to control the scooter and land good. if you can, try to switch to riding regualr or goofy instead of ski, in my opinion, riding ski has no benefits and more often tahn not makes your riding look a little sketchy

no its not. you just catch with your front foot, and than put your back foot on the other side of the brake

i catch them with my back foot, when the deck is on its was back around i pull it up and stick out my right (back) foot and catch it then chuk on my other foot(front)

Damn I love that look, I always try to do it lol, it looks so sick for example when codie tailwhips that hip huuuuge! It look sooooo sick!

The problem is, when I catch it it is behind me.

Since I whip it the other way, its like catching a heelwhip.
I catch goofy now, since catching it in ski was to hard.

yeh my friend rides ski but catches regular easily and very skillyfully mind you lol so yeah, that didnt help

 

[coombsey]

i dont think switch helps, well not for me anyway, i can catch whip front foot back foot both depends what im whiping i guees

 

[Hops]

ya I find it easier to catch regular when riding ski.

 

[coombsey]

whats ski??

 

[Kenny O.]

when you ride like a skier but on a scooter

when you ride with your feet parallel to the deck, instead of perpendicular (more on an angle though), just like a pair of skiis versus a snowboard...
