That damn..

[scooters_are_fun!]

tailwhip. yes.. i know
pathetic. i got the rotation down but when im coming down my scooter always ends up to the right of me. i tailwhip clockwise if that helps.
i just need to know if theres anything i can do to get my scooter under me.. ive tried tailwhips both ways and i end up with the same result.. and ive been trying tailwhips for a while now.. fml... thats the only trick i cant do thats basic so i feel like i fail at scooters..thanks for wasting your time reading this, but maybe you can help me..
Remember kids, only YOU can stop noobs like me from moving up in this sport

Have you watched many videos?
What I do is before I whip I put my foot alittle on the side. Like pointing \ where my toes/balls of my feet would be on the edge of the deck, above the brake. Then I kick as hard as I can and jump as high too. practice. Can you do them off higher things?
Have you tried them on different things? Like curbs, flyout (TO START), or just trying them flat?

 

[scooters_are_fun!]

yes i have watched alot of vids.. ive tried on curbs and flat..
so your toes are on the edge of the deck... ill have to try that.
i actually just tried that before i posted this reply.. but my main problem is that i cant keep my scooter under me

Or backwards?

Using your wrists alot too right?

Just stand on the ground and spin the deck. You'll get a really good feel of how its supposed to feel. Also try to "catch" the deck with your back foot.

if it's overspinning catch it. if its underspinning bend your knees in the air and land crouched it might give you that extra moment for it to spin.

i put my back foot in the pocket between the brake and the end of the deck. then kick my back foot the way my heels are pointing. and use my wrist A LOT!

 

[scooters_are_fun!]

i can land them with one foot now, thanks guys. still working on it though
