Tailwhip out of a Manual

[Jonny]

I've been scooting for a few weeks, and I think i have my tailwhips down well enough to do them out of a manual. Any tips on how to do that? i find it really hard.

practice

 

[Jonny]

when i jump up my brake slams on, and i can't manual without it

 

[Brian Boston]

Lol dont slam your break then, dont push it down, and lean forward too.

 

[CodyChirichiello]

practice is the key. just tryit for an hour or two straight you have to land it eventually.

when u push off pull back on the bars and push off with your front foot more than your back... (kinda even each other out) i can do it that way or i just dont put my whole foot on the brake and push off with the toe of the foot on the brake and my front foot.....

 

[dreads3213]

and if your foot isnt totally on the break just push off against the side of the brake and the deck with your toe

It took me so long to get manny whips, first off practice manual to bunnyhops well and remember to lean forward.

 

[cLeMo321]

yer...practice getting good manuel balance..itll make it easier to whip

 

[brandon Franklin]

umm anything with a manual is 10 x harder than normal...so your not jsut going to learn them..it takes a little practice so quit being lazy

When I used to do one footed manuals I could do whips out of them sometimes, but that was really hard. It didn't take me that long to get manny whips, but I still can't get double whips out.

i suck at manual, i mean i suck. i was practicing them for a while today jumping up a curb to manual to whip down my hill and i got them now. i used to just manual like a foot on flat then do them,lol. tomarrow im going to try to manual a longer sidewalk thing to whip down a 4 stair. they are easy as long as i do the manual good, i was alomost geting doubles out of them but i can keep the manual steady......

I find pressing the brake a little to slow down right before you whip helps. Thats just me though.

 

[Nate Grant]

i manual like Matt Ogle. with no brake. i can balence them for like 10-20 feet. but i find tricks in and out of them IMPOSSIBLE. so someone please help cause i wanna get better at mannys and such. haha its the one thing i've never worked on. and i practice them a lot now, but tricks out don't get any easier.

Move your foot over the brake, the way matt does the does not look safe haha. Looping out seems like it would happen alot

 

[brandon Franklin]

when I do that, I just slightly put the side of my foot into the side of the break so it looks breakless but im putting slight pressure onto it and still looks cool..

 

[coast17]

how i do it... First of all you have to have a smooth manual( good balanced ) then you should be able to lower your wheel a bit closer to the groudn while still manuling then hop and wip( i use my front foot becuase my back foot control's the break)

 

[jazmatazz]

what about getting real technical and doing tailwhips out of 1 foot manuals?

 

[A-Brad]

uh thats not really all that technical...

one footed manuals are on the extreme low end of tricks around here.

whips to one footed manuals are a lot more fun but still not something you wanna brag about or call technical.

just some advice for future reference buddy.
