[Riley Hughes]

okay any help? and i dont need help learning to tailwhip, i need help learning how to get higher in the air when i tailwhip?

 

[DavidCronin]

pull up jump higher with it

 

[Riley Hughes]

lmao watching the video.. idk how i catch whips that low hahahahahah.
but pulling up doesnt help i've tried? the 3rd whip i almost looped out?

 

[DavidCronin]

be for you jump bend your knees and suck everything up and catch with your back footabout 90 degrees befor its under you again(thats how i catch mine) and land and ride away like a champ

 

[CristobalMacias]

the way i learned them was tailwhip over a skateboard deck stacked sideways, and once you have it clean, dialed, and can catch the whip and ride away eachtime, add another deck and repeat. Now i can easily whip pretty high since i can do 3 decks flat.

ur not catching them at all, ur just landing on the deck.
try putting on a shirt that usally helps me

 

[reecescootkid]

man tailwip is the easiest trick in the book its simple hit the ramp with medium speed flick your deck out and spot the deck to land on it. you will get it sooner or later

 

[CristobalMacias]

practice practice practice is the key key key.

i catch it with 2 feet, trust me i can feel it.
and thanks guys ill try it. i learned whips by just whpiping it as fast as i could, probably not the best way to learn it

tailwhip: its so easy a caveman could do it.

no dude, u dont catch it at all. when u catch u hear ur feet hitting the deck and then u hear the scooter landing.
all u hear in your video is u landing
unless ur somehow catching very low and hovering 1 cm above the ground

 

[robbie cook]

next time we chill i will show you a better way to do them.

 

[D ∆ V I D]

try manual hop tailwhips or late tailwhips with a high hop

 

[N3ls0n12398]

jump a higher spin faster also it helps wen you try to catch it

 

[Jacek]

LOL riley, dont be so cocky. admit it, you cant catch them. its fine cause i learned to catch after like a month of trying to get a faster spin and a really even jump. you do what i did; you just whip it enuf to make the deck spin. try to put both of ur feet at the end, and just whip the shit out of that r.u.p. Seriously it helps and just practice for like a week straight and you should get the hang of them.

 

[Rob.]

You're trying to run before you can walk, work on boosting flat then just throw a whip in
I can control my whips rather nicely ... so.. yeah

sarcasm won't help anybody.

ignorant. you just got back from a long break from this site and a LOT of people don't know you, riley's legit and he probably did search. if you're gonna post you should be helpful.


Riley, do them off ledges and over stuff often. Mark Abramsky taught me whip catches haha, by playing him in scoot he whipped a ledge and that's how i learned to catch them. my friend Jimmy learned them by whipping over bricks, cinderblocks, skateboards, and whatever else he could find. whipping over stuff makes you jump higher and get more air so you'll have more time to catch the whip.
