NEED HELP!

Been trying to learn tailwhips for 3 years now! What am I doing wrong so that the bike keeps falling away from me?

Level your bike out before you kick it. Then place your weight over the handle bars. This will keep the bike balanced through the whole way though the rotation and make its spin evenly. Taping the brake in the air will also keep your cranks from spinning.

It kinda looks like you stop using your arms around 270, then the bike just looses control of the rotation. Keep the bars in your waste area and pull the bike all the way around.

Learning with a pretty big bike! Uhh from what I know;
Lean almost like over your bars

Other than that I think it's just trail and error

Oh and when your bike comes around pull it in... It's all arms!

looks like you need pull the bike back into yourself ,your arms look straight mate

You need to keep the momentum going in your arms slightly longer and it should bring the bike around

Not speaking from experience but i have heard that you need to lean pretty far forward over your bars to tailwhip.

as you do them lean over and search for your pedals the way to get em is too man up and put your feet on the cranks i can do them on my bmx

also not speaking from experience but have you tried pulling your brake to keep your cranks level?

brundle (Jan 5, 2013 at 2:16)

yea, I get too focused on the brakes and i forget about the whip and it turns into a huge shit show haha

T2KEETCHY (Jan 6, 2013 at 10:20)

jjgriffin18 (Mar 19, 2015 at 11:11)

Flooo97 (Jan 5, 2013 at 2:17)

brundle (Jan 5, 2013 at 0:53)

Thats my back foot i use to kick it

bens16 (Jan 4, 2013 at 8:52)

Float your foot man. That way your cranks dont spin and you can see your pedals when you bike comes around. Also keep your bars close, its scarier, but it works.
