wow thats pretty close. my friend just learned them a few months ago but now he can land them clean pretty much every time. i am shure he could probably give you some tips if you shoot him a message.

thanks ultimate ill hit him up

okay so they are really all about just practicing. they definitely do take more effort than doing a flyout whip though. you also need to really commit more than you do on a flyout whip, if that makes sense

. also the faster you go the easier it is somehow. one last thing try to keep the bike as far under you as possible so you are way over top of it. just really keep your arms pushed down. hope i helped somehow

yea i finally got keeping them under me better today i found trying to keep the bars as close to your hip as possible helps A TON and yea i do need to commit more i did a few times off camera but ended up eating complete shit as soon as i hit the pedals
