Shifty's

[Serapth]

Or at least i think thats what they are called.

There's a couple of nice kickers on an industrial estate near me ive been riding, being pretty new to this my bag of tricks is pretty lame so all ive been doing really is practicing getting a decent amount of height out of them (for me anyway)

So, i can get about a foot and a half to two feet max which i am pretty pleased with so after a couple of hours i wanted to try something different, so tried shiftys.

I can turn almost 90 degrees in the air(frontside, i eat concrete if i try backside) by the time i reach the peak but i keep having to kick the scooter away as i cant seem to bring it back round.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I think theyre called moto whips or motor whips.

backside shiftys are the shit. i do them over box jumps.

I cant stop backside ones (although i do admit they look way better than frontside) from going the full 180 and my fakie riding isnt too great either.

You have to keep your chest pointed forward the whole time

in bmx its called a moto whip. not sure about scooters though.
i can get them pretty side ways over box jumps. there might be tutorial on how to do it on a bike.

Got them frontside and backside over box on a bike, never really tried on a scooter. The key is just to keep your chest and head pointed forward

I call them moto whips, backside ones are so fun

I can't do fs but with bs I can get em pretty clicked. Pull your scooter to your feet as you move your deck.

In skateboarding they are shiftys, Andrew Reynolds does some really nice kick flip shiftys
