[HowTo] Tailwhip

[KyleW]

I suggest doing these fly out or out of a bank first then when you get those down you can start tryin hop whips

First - Move your front foot back so that you can kick the bike out with your back foot(thats so your front foot will clear the bike so it doesnt get hit when trying to whip the bike around)

Second - Whip the bike around in a circular motion..(the motion is all in the arms,its not really in your feet)

Third - Keep your weight over your bars..the key to tailwhips is to stay over your bike..

Fourth - Keep your legs tucked into your body so you can get your back foot over the top tube(this will also prevent your feet from landing before your bike spins all the way around)

Fifth - Bring your back foot up so that the frame can come back under you..

Sixth - Spot your pedals and try to land both feet on the pedals at the same time(sometimes i just look for my bottom bracket and my feet just go to the pedals or crank arms either way its legit )

Hop Whips - Its pretty much the same concept you just have to force the bike around quicker and tuck your legs up a little higher and lean forward alittle more that flyout(it takes lots of practice)

Heres A Video Of Me Doing A Whip http://www.vimeo.com/659228

When doing this trick YOU MUST COMMIT!!! You cant land this trick unless you commit..


Also wear shinpads when learning..because it hurts when you slip pedals..wearing shinpads also helps build confidence

Yea And Thats Pretty Much All I Can Think Of..Hope It Helps

I hate you. I tried hop whips today, my front foot got caught, and i fell on my bike and the side of the pedal went straight to my shin.

Good how to. I will definately try these on park.
