Amy tips? I can fs & bs 360 flat. I can double whip easily. But rarely do I land balanced in downside whips & I've never been able to half can downside. Tips?

All I can say is keep your eye on the deck and when your whipping bring the deck towards you, when I was learning them I always pushed the deck out so I didn't land on it. And for downside cabs just apply everything from a Downside whip just in fakie. Sorry if it's shit help but it's hard for me to explain.

Yo lamay, just focus on your front wheel. You really got to turn into it. Thats what did it for me. Its a little awkward cuz its frontside but if you keep the wheel turned then you should have no problem! so yeah, dont go at it straight up

keep in mind its like half a whip so i'm sure you can catch your whips fine just wip it and immediately stick our your catching foot and after some practice you'll have the caught super clean, just takes practice, and for downside cabs what helped me was catch the whip don't try and land on it it get's all weird, just jump high and catch that sucker

I'm pretty fucking awesome so I usually do mine with my foot all poked out and shit.
But actually haha, you've gotta kinda pull the deck towards you early, like just focus on catching it more than anything. Kick the tailwhip, then reposition yourself to catch it fakie. It just takes some practice, learn on a bank.

Alright. For sure

I always find you need to lean over your bars more for fakie downsides than regular ones. It almost feels like you're going to fall over them, but then it all just comes together on the landing.

catch them, i turn into them, usually my spin will meet up with the whip. If you catch them early you should be able to have enough time to focus on the landing
