Jump high, lean forward and KEEP IT UNDER YOU!!!! They feel really hard when you're learning them, but once you land one it feels really easy. Committing to landing is the hardest bit, as soon as you jump you'll know if you're going to land it.

this is probably the best way to put it, just make sure you lean forward and keep it under you..

learn to tailwhip catch good.
then flick your wrists as your doing them don't put the deck out keep it under you and just jump and kick and flick and you'll get it.

pull up f---ing hard, flick like your trying to kick someone 100 feet away from you, move your arms and wrists like your trying to break out of a straight jecket and keep your feet together. also stand with your feet perpendicular to the deck kinda near the back of the deck.

I don't have them dialed at all because they take so much effort but I learned them on flat, I can get a double whip like third try flat and a few more tries and I can catch them alright.

I'd just say get your arms stronger and kick REALLY hard. Focusing on kicking hard helps me.

Haha. I learned these flat. Practice the motion like crazy first. Just practice spinning the deck twice as hard as you can and catching it with one foot while you're standing up and when you got that d-o-w-n ride at a really nice speed, jump really hard and throw that double as hard as you can.

i tried them again today, i feel like crap because i can't do them. LOL
no curb to practice them off of, all the curbs in my neighborhood lead to streets where i can get run over... so yeah hahaha
i keep trying to use my wrists the flick it around, but not working. i can do it when im standing ont he ground, spin it around fast enough to probably land it, but when i jump to do the double whip, i for some reason can't spin it as fast to make it come around and land it.

that is where the practice practice practice comes in. you'll get it man just like when you first learned whips try and keep your feet hanging in the air as longg as possible and keep the deck directly under you don't let it get out of rotation

It took me about 2 months do get doubles flat but i didnt even try them till i had then dialed out of the bowl 100% down. best advice i can give is like over exaggerate the hop and just kick it really hard. also use your wrists, practice double step offs for a while so you get the feel for em

oh yeah, definitely step offs.... really weird for me though, when i do step offs, i feel that i can spin it fast enough to catch it, i just can't spin it fast enough when im in midair...

hmmm thats odd, another thing people normally have trouble with is keepin it under you. Like someone else mentioned early you might not wanna hear this but doing them off a curb or even like the little "bank" thing on the side of your drive way on the side walk could also help you practice...they're not an easy trick to learn. This makes me wanna make a tutorial this weekend;)
