this has been explained 1000.. and ther has been about 1000 threads on it... but for the 1001 time ... kick the deck with your feet and rotate the bars with ur wrists to make the deck spin around faster.. than put ur feet on (preferrably vatch it:meaning you stop the deck with ur feet in mid air) and PRACTISE!!!

God Damn I'm so sick of this practice advice! Yes, practice is VERY USEFUL but Other things such as rotating the arms & trying 2 lift your legs higher are good advice too

i've tried and ALMOST landed one. does anyone have a (possibly) slo-mo vid of a tail whip that I can watch? Thanx!
 
Its to hard trying to explain a trick..as u would have know'n(or should so) All pro's and extremly good riders have all figured shit out them self's..i can imgian that none of the sick riders on this site asked how to tail whip when they begun..
they all made it happen with time and most are doing flip dub whips..

Basically u need to go and ride and fugure it ouyt for urself, i no saying PRACTISE doesn't realy help alot over the net, but go ride/practise and learn how to do shit for ur self

Im not having a go at u, just trying to explain that outhers telling u how to do it isnt going to make u a good rider.. the more shit u figure out ur self the better of u will be.

Peace dude!!

and you figure those out with practise
 
Yeah, practice doesnt consist of just trying over and over again, its also about using your head to think about what youre doing wrong and if your not stupid and the trick isnt very complex, 'practice' is a good tip.

You would be surprized.

Yeah, insteed of just trying and trying over and over stop and think of what your doing wrong. I find it helpful if you have a frined that rides ask them to pick out something your doing wrong. Sometime I land stuff but my friend says "Oh man that was ugly, try doing this...".

Live and learn

off a quater pipe: once u r off the lip kick with your back foot and rotate the bars then keep your feet togather and once the deck spins all the way around land

on flat: bunny hop then kick with your back foot and rotate the bars then keep your feet togather and once the deck spins all the way around land

I wouldnt recommend kicking with the back foot cause this would result in catching it with the front foot which looks sloppy as hell.

What-ever you do don't try doing a font foot tailwhip, their quite hard & you'll get them eventually, the back foot is the best foot to use in my opinion, my back foot is my left foot when I'm scootering so I find that easy.
