Which foot do y'all kick the deck out with when doing a tailwhip?

I'm kinda asking this because I learnt to kick it out with my back foot and it's really sketchy, especially since I watch some minivids and everyone kicks the deck out with their front foot. So, if I am just a wierd person, I guess I'll just have to re-learn my tailwhips and doublewhips, and damn that would suck.

[EDIT] The poll that I just made kind of ditched me here so oh well.

i learned to kick it with my back foot (my left because i'm goofy footed) and I can catch it fine. what ever works best just practice a lot and you'll get it soon enough.

yea i like to say i do, since i just kick both feet back, but i think its mostly front foot. up until i learned quad whips i did it with back foot, and kicked the front foot over so my whips were like airwalks..but like right before i learned quads i switched to both feet and it works better for me

like all the kids in france and generally western europe kick their whips with the back foot, me and my brother call them 'french tailwhips', and they look hella sloppy. I try to kick and catch with both feet but sometimes when I land one footed I catch with the front one. I also dont like when mongo riders kick it hardcore with the front foot and catch with the back one at 270 degrees, but its just me.

thanks guys. I thought that it didn't really work too well because a)it looks hella sketchy and b)I couldn't get much past a double whip and I thought that i wasn't spinning it fast enough with my back foot. I'm gonna go out now and learn to do them both feet style because that seems to work the best for me now.

i usually catch tailwhips either both feet or back foot, but sometimes i mess up 360 whips and catch front foot for some reason

to me, whips cught with ur back foot look like crap same as if u catch both feet at the same time thats worse but the best way is to catch with ur front foot (bmxstyle) they look the best....

ugh..i think they look ugly, unless you cathch like in a grizzly air, that might be the only exception. levon does back foot catches and i think they look sick..his whip to bars are like whip to one foot bar, then he puts his foot on. and both feet catches are cool too

I agree with you, but I also think that back foot catches are teh sex.

And just to brag a little, I just went to the park today and relearned doublewhips with a 2 foot kick. It was pretty sexy.
