I can't catch my whips with 1 foot. Just the whole sticking my foot out catching it and bringing it back in seems much tougher than just letting it come to you and cleanly catching the whip 2 footed to me.
Neither is more effective, it's just whatever your style is. I can tailwhips one footed but I can do it two footed, but I can only catch heelwhips two footed.
^^ exactly ive never really had to catch with both feet cuz my lead foot hits the deck first cuz when i whip the tail of my scoot goes towards ground so front of my deck is up higher
