Lol took me a long ass time, a few months... I still can't catch. I don't do whips.

tuck your feet up if your deck lands before your feet. stick em up your ass if needed

It took me about 2 months...

I didnt have a ramp handy and never went to the skate park at this time so i had no rampos to practice off, so i just had to start flat...

I perfected it flat and then i perfected catches flat. All up took about 3 months...

In that 3 months i also perfected them of jumps... Now i can double, and tripple off some jumps ! Doing them off jumps is a bit different at first if you have been doing them flat alot, but within 15mins of practicing, you get used to it...

Hope that helps ... And just keep trying!

3 months barely trying... i was younger and i would try to do em flat. once i went to a skatepark i did em out of banks and it was easy, so it was easy to get em flat, good luck

oh my gosh that is EXACTLY the same as me. this kid i didnt like who rode bikes could whip and he was like "hey riley, do a tailwhip i bet you can't" and i was like fuck you and i did one for the first time then i just learned them.

i still dont really do them i still dont do whips. the way i naturally ride is alot like steadman. not on purpose either ha its wierd.

6 months. but ever since then ive been progressing

Took me a day or so to learn them. Just do 50-100 in a row, and work on using your wrists when your kicking the deck.
