and on the upramp start 2 lean it down 2 one side so the back comes out aswell and it will make ya pancake aswell

Well. I only started to do decent whips a few days before my leg broke.

But i was gettin right over the front of the bike and throwing the bike out there. You gotta not be afraid to throw the back out.

And then when you feel you've gone out enough start to bring your body weight in and straighten up.

theres probably still the whip tips article from frmx on my site somewhere.... www.freeridermx.cjb.net

after a while youll learn its mostly in the way you turn/lean the bike on the upramp. The more comfortable with that you are, the easier whips get.

After youve got some confidence on a jump, try preloading hard, but harder on one side...helps heaps when your trying to get it flat

yeah you've really gotta lean it over before ya even leave the upramp if ya wanna whip big ... i can only do little ones though

dont worry i think a 2 yr old would be better at whips then me

you could also try it on a sideways jump so you can throw it out more and not have to bring it back all the way...you should hit the ramp at a bit of an angle and wight your inside peg to throw it out, then weight the outside peg to bring it back. ( just practice it alot, you'll get the feeling for it)

i pull the bars to one side wen in the air and it just pans it and the back starts 2 come out at the same time

I either lean the bike to the left side then flick my right sholder over, then try to tilt it to the right and land a straight as you can. Or just hit the steering colum and that turns the bike hahaha, I dont do that any more tho.
Good luck.
