Whenever I try hop tailwhips I can only get one foot on my seat I can't get my feet on the pedals. Does anyone have any good tips for tailwhips

I sure hope you can tailwhip a fly out jump

If you think your going to just magically learn hop tailwhips on flat ground your going to have a bad time

my steps for learning tricks:
1. YouTube tutorials
2. Pads
3. Big landing/flyout
4. Insta-ballz huckit
EDIT: practicing on your back is a good way to learn tricks, but prob won't work to well with tailwhips tho

It actually helps with kicking and catching, kinda gives you a feel for it, then you just gotta haul ass and boost, and then do it.

I've landed a bunch of whips, and lost em after a back injury I have the motion, just don't land em. I just need a solid spot to boost better. Or to go back to the spot I landed them back in the day in my old one day edit.

Back in the day I could do em fairly consistently, at least to one pedal. Mine were never hopped though. (oddly low enough that I could hop one height wise haha)
