Jumping - with style!

Getting more confident in the air on my bike so now I want to learn to add a bit of style to my jumping (just so I can show off :D ).

I can kick the tail out a bit in either direction but I'm not sure how to get it back in so that I land with both wheels pointing the same direction that they were when I took off.

I've watched videos of people doing it but I just can't figure out what I need to do when I'm on the bike!

Any tips?

Cheers

Stu

    if your doing like a fliar or a whip, once youve "whipped" the bike from underneath you, rotate your upper body slightly, and pull back with your outside leg. this works for me!

    don't be such a wimp, just keep kicking the back out further into a tailwhip...

    And remember, not all pro's land with their wheels in a straight line, that's why they trash so many wheels...

    why not go for an x-up first? easier and looks fairly good.
