whipping 101 .. lol nah but okay here is what i do.. im a little person im 5'7 145 lbs and i ride a 2002 kx 125.. and well pretty much the bike out weighs me. so i have to use a natrual flow of motion and i have to use my entire body.. so when im going up the jump im already leaning over and pretty much in position to whip while im going off the jump. i use alot of head motion because where your head goes your body folows and try to keep you bars as far away from your body as possible this thecnique will help your whip. and once your bike is completely flat thats when you pull your bars into your body and it will make the back end of your bike go vertical. now bringing it back make sure you spot your landing and just make sure you get your body back to a vertical position and your bike will follow. and its okay if you land a little sideways it shouldnt effect you much. but dont land all the way side ways thats not a good thing.. but yeah if your as little as i am just make it a natural flow of movments and dont try to control your bike with just your upper body it dosent work to well make sure your whole body is envolved and just whip that ####! later bro.

Whips are pretty basic. Pretty much just practice cutting up the tip of the kicker. Once you do that you will be able to control how far you want it to go by weighting the peg and leaning into it. If you do it right momentum will bring it back. You can also control whips by body motion. Peace' and good luck.

[[dragon]]

haha thats a pretty possible theory, ilikeconcussion. but maybe its because no chap bothered to answer his whipping q. so he left the boards in disgust.

[OZ FMX]

we gave him bad advice, he's tried a big whip, crashed big time, so now he's sold the bike and taken up chess...........

[The Professor]

dam we lost another one of our numbers to chess grrrrrr :mad:

[ramp_kid]

lol. im going to have to go with OZ FMX on this one his theory sounds pretty good! Im going to say that he tried a gnarly whip and accedintaly went into a REAL flat liner.
