need help with tailwhips

[Piccadilly]

hi can you help me out with landing a tailwhip. what happens is, i jump up and get it spinning alright but near the end of the whip my front foot lands on the ground and my other foot lands on the, not-fully-rotated, deck.
thanks

Try holding the deck underneath you whilst you whip. Also, what helped me, is getting a nice height that you are comfortable with and as you get to the top whipping. Also, try and get the movement in the wrists, not just the feet.

PS- I like your bump tune.

i also heard somewhere that i should keep the handle bars as close to me as i can and to learn forward, but when i tryed this i just tripped over and feel forward. should i being what i shoudl said or not??

I had the same problem, I learned that when I lifted my knees higher than normal I get them every time. And like R-ma said, most the movement is in your wrists. Try getting the feel for kicking and moving your wrist to power the spin. You could be over exerting yourself on the kick and not able to catch it because your kicking to hard.

hmm, i think it may be the other way round, that im hardly kicking at all and just spinning with my wrists. Though i cant really tell. =/
thanks again =o

Learn ballerina whips. Just boot it as hard as possible with your back foot and get your front foot back over the deck. After that just get the basck foot over the deck and stomp it.
remember to learn how to double foot kick though cause ballerina whips only some people can pull off.

use your wrists as much as you can and whip it under you
