I can't tailwhip!!!

[RUPrider]

Ok so no matter what I do, when I tailwhip it spins a full 360 but my problem is with my left foot. When I jump my left and right foot goes up and then my left foot goes down to hold my right foot up until the board comes back. ( did that make any sense?) any tips. Ive been riding scooters for a week and just got my barspins down. YAY!

Search "how to tailwhip" or "i cant tailwhip" into the search box.
Or watch one of the many videos showing you how to do one on youtube.

Ok, but do you have any tips on how not to do this? I really wanna tailwhip

Just don't put your foot down. Most people don't even learn tailwhips in a week. With a trick as simple as a tailwhip, nobody is going to give you any real advice besides just to practice. Just keep doing them until you can land them.

OK if you can't finad any thing.. Try starting the tailwhip, jumpin off and then jumping back on it this teaches you how to throw the whip and to land it as you get better and better just spin it faster and watch the deck go round and try and place your feet back on the deck
It helps if you try it off a curb or a small ledge first.

it took me a ridiculus time to tail... just practice, tie your feet together so they react with each other.. don't let them seperate.

when you whip it around spin it as fast as you can but keep your feet in the same place if that dosent work try some footplant tailwhips they get you into the hang of it

when i whip i am regular and whip it with my left foot then stick my right foot out to catch it then bring the deck back in so i separate my legs but still whip and catch easy

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE... took me like 3 months (fail) but once i got them my confidence SHOT up and im pretty decent now, i can 360 stair sets, and im learning how to backflip

try to just practice by spinning the deck around as fast as you can like 10 times and the catch it with your feet

it took me six months to land a tailwhip. flyout.
now I do tripples out of banks easy. Just take your time, and one day just out of the blue you'll land them, and have them good in a few days.

i did my first tailwhip off a ledge and was so stoked that i went down to my local and screamed in every ones face, lol just just kidding, but i was stoked... oh yeah btw watch this... it should help cuz it helped me heapshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDSTCWFOgCk

Yeah man just keep practicing. I learned in a day by trying them on a friend's trampoline. Once I got them there I tried them flat and it only took me about 10 minutes to get one. They didn't get easy and consistent for a while though. Too bad I don't own a scooter I just use my step-brother's when I visit him like once a month.

Lulz i got my whips in three weeks.
I found that it was easier to do it flat than flyout.
