Stance and how i catch tricks

since starting without anyone to ride with i rode by myself and developed my own way of riding which was riding in ski and landing in regular, and i catch my whips double footed not 1 footed and bring the deck into me and put my other foot on, doing this it makes a lot of things really hard because i am always moving my feet and it isnt reliable when catching double and triple whips over stuff.

any tips at all? looking for tips from more experienced riders who may have had the same problem? thanks :)

I used to ride ski. It's really so much harder to get whips round and you end up with your feet in an awkward position to catch them. Just ride regular.

yeah itll take a bit of getting used to but it really helps you out in the long run
 
ahh im gona try moving my feet a bit more then becasue if i learn to catch bars in regular whip bars and double whip bars will appear a lot more easier, thanks im gona try riding regular for a bit :)
 
if it really bothers you, you CAN learn to correct it.

it dosent bother me, it just limits myself to do tricks as well as i could but when it comes to boosting and going tech i love the stance.. like if you watch the new madd gear video of the scooter comp in the uk, look how i stand on the twizzler to tap but when i do fingerwhip in i go to regular and on runs and stuff it makes it a tad difficult.
 
Welllllllllllll!!! U need to look down at ur deck (as soon as you whip) then pick ur feet up more, & keep em' 2gether lyk 2 deaf,dumb & blind twins. Then when u land just look @ ur deck (when it whips around) center ur feet soo u can land riding ski again, just pick up ur feet more..I have the same prob dude, deckslides r more of a (redheaded step child) 4me...

cheers good look bro... keep shreddin' GnAr & RIDE STREET!!!
