I will try get up a video soon, but really I need to just jump higher I think - any tips on being abled to land them?

ride a stock ultra pro
get a kicker

its really easy once you learn em

 

[TomGeorge]

Take a look at my set up on my profile, it's pretty light so that's not the problem. Also I have an old kicker but it's barely above curb height. I mostly think I need to whip it faster an jump higher, but any tips on that?

go faster than you would for a normal whip.Thats how I learned them flat.Just go really fast,jump as high as you can and kck very hard.Use your Wrists

Fubi is right. They are easier going faster. I learned on a TSI Flight, so weight shouldn't be too much of an issue.

wider bars makes whips alot easier for me.

 

[dpnelson31]

^That too.

I used to ride 19, but found them way to awkward cause I'm only skinny. I now ride 16 wide - whipping fast is not an issue. Thanks for the tip about going fast, I can get them one footed. Any tips to keep it under me? I tried looking at my front wheel, but then I couldnt watch the deck...

For me i feel like i got to lean forward a little because i always land to far back that helps.. for me. But idk a light deck is best, i can't double flat anymore because i went from a rup to a new deck.

keep the deck under you
that might help

jump higher and dont give up after 10 minutes! good luck!

keep the deck under you
that might help

I know, but how?

 

[BrenchToast]

practice

 

[NinjaScooterer]

I know, but how?

Does it normally land in front of you and too the side?

 

[TomGeorge]

Yes, but when I keep it under me halfway through the second whip I lose control and end up falling (this is of a kicker).

 

[NinjaScooterer]

Well, what i normally do is lean a tad bit forward when i'm about to start the whip. Then in the air you should go forward a little so it doesn't land crazy in front of you. Maybe try them flyout or off the side of ramp first. The day i learned them off the side of a ramp i tried it off a kicker got it 2nd try. Start higher then gradually go down smaller.
Hope this helps .

 

[TomGeorge]

Thanks, will try that!
By move forward do you mean my feet on the deck?

 

[NinjaScooterer]

That too but more like lean forward with your body.

 

[TomGeorge]

Thanks very much all of you - I am uploading a video soon, so please watch and add more tips.

learn to whip really fast. then find a kicker or quarter and spin it just like a tailwhip but a little bit faster and don't give up on it and you will eventually get it
