 im no expert but i jst practiced them loads when i went to glentress and what ur ment to do is turn up a little bit of the take off then pull up the nose abit then get the back end out then push the nose down and try and get it back in abit but aslong as the front wheel comes down first the back will follow

 to get a good whip out, what you 1st need to do if pick your best side for whipping, once thats sorted its time to start trying, take a jump normally but lift the front end up more, then turn your bars to the side and allow you shoulders to follow, then you hips and legs will follow, once you get this sorted start extending your legs out for the full side on effect. and to get them back in just turn your bars and shoulders straight and your hips and legs will follow.

 yea when i go up, i pull up and to the left, like youre making a left turn in the air. then kind of lean over to the left and kick your left leg and push the back end of the bike forward, then i lean over the to the right to start to straighten it out again.

 the easiest way to whip is to turn off the lip of the jump then lean your bike to the side. its quite hard to explain. go on youtube and check out people on motocrossers whip thats how i learnt. to get them back in turn the other way and twist your hips.

 to whip when you get some air you need to tense you leg and push down on the side your trying to whip on

 first off everyone knows that if u want to pull off the perfect whip u got to wear a helmet, then first try tweaks and work your way into moving your hips and swinging ur back end of the bike out then move your bars back in to a straight position and try bring the whip back in.

 what i do generally is turn the bars to the way i want to wip so in your case it looks like your trying to wip the back end to your right so you would want to turn you bars to the right as you are doing this pull up on the bars and try to look at you tire when you are pulling up as you get better turn you bar more and more until you cant any more at this point your bike will be totality turned side ways

 Throw all your weight over to the opposite side that you want to wip, so if your whipping out to the left, throw your weight right, as you hit the takeoff, push out with your hips, then just roll your weight and bike back over to bring it back.

 The biggest tip I could give is to turn ur bars in the opposite direction to how u would in the air and stay relaxed and dont pull up too much rather let ur front wheel drop

 Dont you have to land on your fron wheel first so that your back end of the bike has enough time to swing all the way back into place?

 my friend was teaching me how, and the way he toldme to was, show you ass the the people your whipping towards and turn the bars the oppisite way,

 or can you land normally if your able to complete the whole whip in mid air?
