Anyone on here do 360 footjam whips - fakie? Tried them for the first time today and I'm either getting the rotation and only getting one foot on, or I'm getting both feet on and landing slightly over 270.
Also tried whips properly for the first time today as well. I either don't get the rotation or the bike doesn't stay under me and stops a bit past 180.

Any tips for either?
With the 360 whiplashes to fakie, you want to spin so your doing the whiplash at 180 so that when the whiplash comes around the momentum allows you to pull around the last 180.

learning the spin for whips might take awhile but yeah basically what bil said.

i sometimes accidentally almost do 3 moot jams although when i try them they don't work.

with whips straighten your arms and sort-off lean over the bike
make sure your kicking it and then moving your arms around in a motion that will work out.

I can't do whips any more.

Haha thanks, doubt I'll stick with whips though if I do get them.

You half cab like you kind of do with out a chain, but then hop the 180.. turn the bars abit so the bike starts to turn, then hop and you should get a 180 ;)

Tis pretty easy once you get it
Thanks Patto. I've been practicing all day and am starting to get the motion of it, they certainly are a very different feeling from flicking the bars and cranking with a chain to get around.

It makes me semi-want a freecoaster.

hello all, long time no speak.

i've been really busy with uni which i handed in last week, but have been busy preparing folio's for my industry interviews which were this week. so i'm still kinda busy, but it's mellowing out now. i've been drinking alot of beer too.

last night it was very hot, too humid to ride really. rhys and i discussed gossip girl and what TV series i should watch next.
