I have been scootering for 6 mouths a can manual, barspin, feeble and smith stall, fakie etc but I still can't tailwhip if anyone can give and help or tips that would be great.

practice....no one can teach you how to do tricks really, you have to kick your feet far apart and pull the deck up to your feet though. And make sure to jump high enough.

what do you mean by kick your feet far apart?

Jump high *enough*
Kick the deck out enough so your wrists can take control
Rotate your wrists in a circular motion with the momentum of deck
Keep the deck underneath you
And when the deck comes around pull it up to your feet
(or stomp down on it, but that looks sloppy and creates a bad habit)

Thanks for the tip

Your feet should be kicked apart-in each direction.
Your front foot should be kicked out to throw the tailwhip, and your back foot should reach out to catch it.
