Does anyone else catch their whips with their back foot and wait untill they almost land to put the other foot on the deck? And if you do, do you have trouble with whip to bars? I can bar late whip everytime but when I try whip late bar I always catch the whip with one foot and then when I throw the barspin it feels hella wierd and the scooter goes crazy. Any tips?

I got myself banned.
just gotta practice. i do the same thing so when i throw the bar im not completly done with the whip yet so the bars keep moving from the rotation from the whip. you just have to catch it completely before you throw the bar.

So i first tried whip to bars and failed horribly one em.
So one day I started doing bar to whips and got them and decided to try whip to bars again.
and this is what i did.
I started doing them up this steep bank that shoots you up real high.
Catch your whip with 2 feet real high and once you got it, throw the bar quick
Just keep practicing catching your whips super fast and learn to throw your bars quicker
Once you got those 2 locked... you got whip to bars on anything.
I started doing them up banks, euros, and i started trying them off ledges to haha
Good luck man

This is hella good advice except one thing.
I naturally catch whips with my back foot first

disregard the acctualy trick and watch my landing, I know I didn't catch it but see how I landed with my back foot first? That happens when I tailwhip but with a catch and my front foot comes to the deck at the last second so I can't catch with two feet. If I did I woudn't have any trouble at all.

When i was learning i had the same problem as you, but its because you are spinning the bars to early. You need to catch the deck with one foot and get it level before you spin the bars. This may sound silly but i learnt by taking one foot off like i had just caught a whip, then spinning the bars, just to get used to barspinning after a catch. Then i just caught the whip one footed, brought it all the way round so it was straight THEN spun the bars :L hope this helps :)
