Ali C Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 looks like all you need to do is practice it more, you are pretty much landing it. I have been trying it for ages and not even close yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Commit more and just aim your feet for the pedals. Just try to pull your ankles together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 It's going fine until that point: When you've already decided that it's not going to work and your brain has decided to put your right foot down to save you. I used to ddo the same with skateboard kickflips. It basically comes down to mind over matter- just commit more as Leiston says and you'll get there. Not that I can do them of course but just sayin'!

bikeperson45 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Maybe try not to kick your right leg out so much it's nearer to the pedal after it swings, I dunno. Still awesome, full video please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIS_on24) Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 just try to spin the bike under legs, not on the left and your right foot will land on pedal at the moment I have the same problem with whip, so it needs just more practice how much time have you been learning whip?

thinkdougie Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 practice and youll do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 To think you've got that close on a 24" and I can't even do it on a bmx! I think you've got to the point a lot of people have problems with with tailwhips - getting the feet back on the pedals. More practice is all I can recommend.

1a2bcio8 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 You're in the same position as me at the moment with the kick whips. The problem is you need to get more air time with your body or you need to increase the speed of the whip so, either way, you have more time to land. At the moment the only reason you're getting one foot on is you're retracting that leg into your body. I doubt you could land both feet on the pedals with that sort of retraction in both legs - but maybe it's possible? Also when you start getting either more air time or a faster whip you'll be left with more time to look where your feet are going to go - that point where you actually get a moment to plan is when you've got the whip/air time technique dialed and all you need to focus on is the confidence to actually land one. I am however making assumptions about the similarity between whips out of quarters and those out of a kick. I struggle to see that there should be any difference though.

ellis-collins Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I can't tailwhip but alot of my friends who ride bmx can, when I was trying them I was getting almost as close as you were, my friends told me to 'sweep' my bike across my body to get it back under my legs more, then just get my ankles closer together as my feet were coming down to the pedals. You look really close though and just keep practicing, you'll have it soon ! Hope this helps, Ellis . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
