How is a tailwhip done and best way of learning how to do it.

It isnt too difficult to do if you are a confident jumper and have a suitable jump. I nail the throttle as im approaching the jump face and I stand up and lean a bit to my left. As I go up the jump face I push down hard on the pegs with my legs to preload my rear shock while continuing to lean to my left. As I get airborn the rear of the bike unloads and pushes the rear wheel upward. At this point you just kinda whip the rear over by twisting your hips and applying downward pressure on the left bar and peg. Its kind of hard to explain..it just kind of happens as you practice. Good luck and wear all your gear.
