yea seriously, its not ALL in teh wrists, unless you want to do them like that, but jump, make sure your centered over your scooter, not leaning way back or anything, jump high, give the scooter a nice kick and then use your wrists, stand tehre and practice tailwhipping the scooter for horus on end to get the wrist movement good, then just do that when your in there air, and honestly i think the most important part in landing it is staying centered...i see too many kids trying to learn them by kicking the scooter out in front of them, keep the bars right where they are when you first bunnyhop, dont throw them out.

ya it took me a while to get dub whips lke i started going off our only type of jump at our skatepark which is a huge table gaytop and i lostl ike all my energy ruiing to get speed up it and when i like ifrst tried it off a little ledge they were alot easyer so start harder but it will take longer to get don't practice flat that will take even longer

Well I learned them the way I learned tailwhips, off my kicker. Then once you're consistant off of a ramp or something of that nature, progress to flat. I cant do dubwhips flat, but that's how I learned my tailwhips. And try to put more into your dubwhips as well. Kick it out harder and really concentrate on rotating it.

ya thats probably the best you can explain it im in the prosess ok making a kicker but i havn't found time i cared enough to go get wood haha. im probably going to just go buy one not one of those crappy plastic ones they slide so easly i went off one once and it just slid with me for like 3 feet and i landed on it when i came down and landed ok but i fell and smacked my head really probably why i hate them. plus our closest skatepark sucks it has a hgue table top there was a rail itgot stolen or broken or somthing theres a kicker seeing it's last days and a small fat funbox which had rails all around but they broke and a bigger box whixh has rails on both sides but one part of the side is missing and it's super heavy so we cn't move it much and theres a trash bin which is used for skateboarding more then trash :?

ok, it seriously took me 4 days to get dub whips, and my theory is you should try to learn most tricks flat, cuz then when you go off ramps you can do them no prob and they look alot nicer, but back to dub whips just jump a tad bit higher and stronger then a normal whip, give it about the same amount of kick from your feet, then just keep rotating your wrists, you will eventually develop like a muscle memory kinda thing with your arms, and youll be getting them, like i started landing them 2 out of 6 trys and then the more i did them im down to 5 out of 6 trys.
