Tire taps? you mean footjams? or are you hopping on your back wheel?

Tire taps....just put all your weight on the brake.

it's not even a trick...

focus your time and energy learning cool tricks like barspins, tailwhips, etc...

uhhh yea it is, you usually do them on tops of quarters and whatnot
let him learn what he wants
anyway, all i do to do them is just bring my bars just a wee bit up, step on my brake and balance. not much to it

and if the quarter your doing it on is slippery it could not be good haha

Should i be putting both geet on the brake?

I usually do it like a manual, and just keep all the weight in the foot on the brake.

How's it not a trick? any trick is a trick, plus you can make them cool by like finger whiping into them then whipping back in the quarter or something
