Tailwhiping over things

[kubish97]

So I have my flat tail whips down really good and i can good them at medium speeds. But i cant tail whip over things like lets say a speed bump i always bring my scooter to forward and i cant land. can you guys give me some tips on how can i whip gaps, stairs.

lean a little more forward, personally i jump higher and whip later.. idk.. but that works for me

lift your front wheel up as far as possible before slipping back, then kick it around and stomp it down so like jhop whip instead of normal whipping.

^if he juss sed he flys forward then wehy would he lean more forward? id say lift up ur front wheel then lift the back so u can clear over shit insted of taking both wheels off at the same time. and put ur dominent foot out to catch the whip so u dont fall.

 

[Carson .]

well i jhop normally

^if he juss sed he flys forward then wehy would he lean more forward? id say lift up ur front wheel then lift the back so u can clear over shit insted of taking both wheels off at the same time. and put ur dominent foot out to catch the whip so u dont fall.

he said his scooter flys forward if im not mistaken?

 

[Ronnie Bergan]

if him or the scooter is going forward, then why lean forward, we werent trying to learn frontflips off a speed bump, if im not mistaken.

 

[Zach Hamrick]

You are mistaken, we are trying to learn frontflips, your obviously caught up in the wrong thread!!!

dude..is ur vagina bleeding?....he leans forward with his body so the scooter stays more under him..

It's all about commitment, I swear to it. Just relax and slowly gain the confidence. I had the same problem. It's all in the mind.

^^^pushing your deck out or landing one foot are usually just fears to conquer

^^^^^ he right and one problem is i ride goofy ( front foot slats to left and back foot strait) but i tailwhip regular. Do guys have any tips so i can convert to whip goofy not reg

kubish, you naturally heelwhip. i think that's good, it adds a ton of style. you could try kicking it with your front foot's toes and catching it with you back foot like a goofy tailwhip. but if i was you i would keep heelwhips my dominant whip because they look soo good. just keep practicing.

i ride goofy but not ski, try and think about lifting your scooter over the obstacle then lifting your feet over... it all in your head!

no I dont heelwhip i have to switch my feet to the other side to tailwhip so its kinda annoying. Just to recap I ride goofy...then when i wanna tailwhip i have to switch my feet and body to the other side to tailwhip. And i tried riding reg and i can even jump out of the bowl or jump up a curb...

My 10 year old naturally heelwhips. He's going to be a bad ass.

 

[Riley Hughes]

well once you get good at whipping it with your wrists, youll be able to do heelwhips really well standing goofy, it wont take much practice, maybe a month to get it dialed

 

[kubish97]

ok thanks when i get better with my heelwhips im going to try to learn to tailwhip both ways!
