I need help with learning tricks.

I have been scootering for a few months now. I got a Razor Ultra Pro and soon started doing tailwhips and 360's pretty soon after I got my scooter and broke some of the parts and so I got Epic Quake 110's, Grit Quad Clamp, and Grit Yeh Yeh Yeh bars. They are awesome and I have no trouble with them but it just feels like I don't deserve them because I'm not that good so I need help. Not like give me step by step instructions, but just a few tips on tricks. Also Can you give me a list of tricks that an amateur should know.

Here's a list of tricks I know so please add one for me and tell me more.
-tailwhip (I need help with catching)
-180 (I need help with not falling over and fakies)
-360
-g-turn
-540 (I have done this a few times but it's hard to spin that fast)
-decade (I'm so close to landing, any tips for landing back on the deck)
-downside whip (Very sketchy)
-manual
-hang 5 (How do you balance so well? I can's do them)
-barspin
-backflip (I need big balls)
-doublewhip (How do I catch them? I'm constantly spinning to much)

K,tailwhips, just spin and bring it up you should catch
180s as soon as your backwards half cab out
360s, just spin dat bitch
I can't decade
downsides you just need the feel
manual practice (same wid hang 5s)
barspins throw and catch
don't try a backflip
dubs are easy you just need to spin and get le feel

i learned that the best way is just to find out what works for you, but on fakes you just got to have your arms stiff and worry about your body balance. Dont Move Dem Arms

Ha off the subject of backflips I need help with other stuff like briflips, tailwhip catches, 540's, and hang 5's.

for catching, stand on one foot and just spin tailwhip for like 10 minutes, catching them everytime the deck goes around. then try catching step off whips. then just try to catch a whip

If you said you cant even catch Your tailwhip you should not be trying those tricks... Learn the basics like bar spin 180 bar and stuff like that first. With fakies try pushing Your front wheel into a wall and getting out of it. 360s you just spin you head that direction

watch a lot of how to vids on youtube (legit ones like scooterzone) then practice a lot. also riding with people better than you helps, u learn quicker
 
I do 360's fine and I can catch my tailwhips maybe 3 out of ten times. and today I landed a double whip flat but my feet landed on the brake and I just stopped once I landed.

If you can double flat, I'm pretty sure you could catch tail whips no problem. Unless your like Chris Vincent and likes hairy Scrotum

For spins, look over your shoulder until you spot the landing, for 180s and 540s try on a bank first so you land forwards
For catches just get used to whipping high and fast and let it go under you, the at the end pull up sharp into your foot/feet
For balance tricks, no one can teach you just practice.
For barspins get them absolutely dialled without jumping, just stood holding your scooter then just do a little hop
Hope I helped :)
 
Hase this happened to anyone else, the bolts holding the wheels in are bent and cause the wheels to spin really wierd. Stupid Razor I hate them.
