Hi mate..

I was in your position. It took me about 2 months...

Not really any tip to it ayy, you just need to keep practising, i just went out one day, and landed it one foot, then landed it perfectly...

Here are a few tips and tricks to getting them.

While holding the scooter in the air, use your wrists to spin the deck for about 10 secs, then jump on the deck and oractise landing.

And also, while trying to do a tailwhip, foot plant it to get used to the takeoff and landing ect...

Just kick out the deck, and rotate your wrists and land... You will get it on day man, DW, just keep trying...

Then once u get it, u'll be like, why couldnt i do that 2 months ago!!!

words straight from jesse macaluso's mouth when he taught me a while back: when you see the deck coming around just stop ur feet down on it

ok it took me like 3 months to learn tailwhips, and right when i was about to quit, i got them. What you have to do is KEEP THE FREAKIN SCOOTER UNDER YOU IN THE AIR, you cant let it come out from under you (like in front) because then you will never land it, believe me. ALSO YOU MUST JUMP UP AND NOT OUT. what this means is that instead of jumping sideways in the air, you should jump up. NOw what you must do is DO THE TAIL WHIP JUST RIGHT AFTER YOU JUMP, NOT AT THE SAME TIME. When you jump up in the air, if you kick the deck before you jump kinda, then it wont work, so jump then spin. LASTLY, YOU MUST KICK YOUR BUTT WITH YOUR FEET AFTER JUMPING UP IN THE AIRAND LEAN FORWARD. if you have done all of this, and it still doesn't work, send a video of you trying and ill tell you what you are doing wrong. This was my favorite and best video just as an extra....

keep the bars close to your dick when you rotate and try to jump really high,like to the point where it feels unnatural

I tried them one day and didn't do them well at all but then i tried them for an hour a day and in about two weeks i had them easily. My friend is a bmx rider but is getting into scooters and he got jealous of me doing tailwhips so he started doing them and in a day he could nearly land them and he was only trying for an hour. So it just means some people can do them easier than others. And it also proves bmx riders should ride scooters

At my old house our driveway was sloped so I practiced whipping down it since there was the advantage of me having more air time cause of the slope. Hope this helps. ;)
