finger whips

[jakob-b]

yea im have trouble with finger whips i have the rotation its just i cant get my feet on it ?!

 

[Matt Dibble]

i guess ill say stuff from my own knowledge and from what others have told me:

bend your knees, and jump high

throw your feet out to the sides and bring your hand down to the deck, hit it just a little bit

get that hand back on the bar AS FAST AS YOU CAN and then use your wrists to help the scooter finish the rotation

once rotation finishes get your feet back on and ride away clean.

caution : takes practice. For me: took about 1 week of nonstop practice with the trick and about 2 or 3 months of just like kinda wanting to do it but not setting my mind on doing it.

Good Luck.

Yeah don't try to hit the deck really hard with your hand, it doesn't work at all. It's all in the wrists, hahaha, that reminded me of Happy Gilmore.

what i do is off the lip i pull the scooter up to my waist the hit it then as it rotate bring it back down and catch it like a regular tailwhip

 

[gazza707]

make sure you lift your scooter up nice and high so that it is easy to hit the deck...

get your hand on as soon as poosible ..

when the board comes around put your feet on..

practise

ONLY keep the scooter under you as much as possible AND put your hand on the bars as soon as possible. It's so easy when you land them.

jump, bend, hit, rotate, land, ride.
