I think it has to do more with skill and strength, but bar height can definitely play a role. Great point you bring up, though!

i think strength plays the biggest role, but then i see riders like jake clark who have scrawny arms and can do them and i get confused. pretty much everyone i know and have met that can triple flat is pretty beefed up.

ehh compared to triples, bris/front bris, etc. those are all pretty easy.

on the other hand, i would assume shorter people and/or people who ride lower bars are better at fingerwhips and whip fingers flat.

Im 6'3 and ride 25 tall bars but can't triple or Bri flat. I am extremely close to fingerwhips flat though. I land with a lot of heeldrag. My friend on the other hand is about 5'9 maybe 5'10 and can bri, inward, fakie bri, whip bar and finger whip all flat but he can't triple.

Who cares if you apparently the shortest person to triple flat

I agree with the tall/flatground thing because im about 6foot and ride flat mostly

i saw ryan williams doing both in his flat video
what is your natural side?
i didn't want to learn bris for a long time, but now i decided to, my natural is behind the back, i thought to learn them FS first, aiming to learn both ways in future

they're both natural. i learned them heelside first and forced myself to relearn them toeside.

Only if I switch stance haha. But that's real impressive dude. My oppo stuff isn't great. I can oppo double but I'm trying to work on Oppo Fingerwhips (one footed) and Bar to Oppowhips (still not that close)

What about mini soukop (however you spell it)? He's tiny and he can do triples and bris and inwards and stuff flat? I personally don't believe height has a factor in it. It's just your hop and the way you spin the whip.

I have noticed that double whips and hangfives are easier on higher bars. And im 173cm tall, i pull doublewhips supersmooth. I can do 360s whips and 360s heels... Im fair good on flat. Bri is kinda close i think. I ride 23" high bars
