i had been trying tailwhips for like 3 weeks ,i was at a garage sale with my friends saw a scoot wanted to show them that i could get it 1 footd so i picked it up and when i would have been happy with a 1 footed landing i got both feet. god that felt good

i think after i said "i think i want to tailwhip" it was about a week and a half later of just doing it over and over again till i hit one...then i was getting them 20% of the time, then moving on to 50% of the time, and so on

I had been scootering for about a month or so, maybe longer I dunno, and I brought my scoot to a family reunion. I was showing all my cousins my sweet no footers and stalls. then I was like "watch this" and tried a tailwhip (I had never landed one before this, but I just wanted to look cool) and I totally stomped it. just riding slow on flat. I was like freaking out in my head, but I wanted to look cool to everyone else so I pretended it was no big deal haha. so the day all my hours of work spent on that stupid trick all paid off, in front of a crowd

well, what I do is get on the ball of my front foot (the area slightly underneath your toes), and with my back foot I hang the ball of it over the edge of the scooter, as if I'm about to drag my toe on the ground (but don't actually drag your toe). doing them rolling is easier than just standing, so get just a little speed, bend your knees in preparation for the jump, and as you jump, simultaneously pull up on the bars, kick your back leg behind you (forcing the deck around), KEEP YOUR LEGS IN THE AIR. TUCK THEM UP TOWARDS YOU. A lot of kids just immediately put their feet on the ground after they whip and just give up. Watch the deck spinning beneath you, wait til it makes a full rotation, then place your feet back on it. make sure you don't force your handle bars down when you jump because your whip will just stop and you'll never land it. keep the scoot in the air until the rotation is complete. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I could write you a novel on how to do a tailwhip, but it will never take the place of good old fashioned PRACTICE. keep trying over and over, just like everybody else had to do.
