180 whips

[Frank T]

alright these are starting to piss me off. 180 tailwhips to fakie, everytime i think im finally starting to get them pretty good like i land a few i, they turn to shit and i suck at them. Any tips??

 

[NickOlson]

it was the same problem with me. What I did was went back a step and practiced halfcab whips for a couple weeks and got really good at them. Then I tried 180 whips again and they were much easier. Or... just practice. The key to them is to catch it, if you don't you'll land on your deck with your feet all over the place. Just catch it and spot the deck.

yeah im trying. I think mostly is i mess up then get frustrated cause i have like 5 feet in my garage to do them cause its cold and wet but ill try what you said. Anyone else?

flick .catch. land.

Doing them off of stuff is easier than doing them flat. More time to catch. The catch is the most important thing.

Turn before you get the whip. when you start getting closer and getting your feet on them every try, jump.higher and you will get them. catch and stomp your landing so you can fakie out

Yeah, I'd say start to spin a bit before you whip the deck. I have the problem of whipping before I spin which causes me to under-rotate the 180 a TON. Just practice them more.

Lean forward and try having your feet closer to the headtube, at least that's how I do them
