How to Tailwhip Bmx

The most in-depth tutorial you will find on how to tailwhip a bmx bike. I took my previous how to, which accumulated over 300,000 views, and improved upon it. If you are trying to learn hop whips, start with flyout, then out of a bank, then into a bank. I will be making additional videos on the steps to learning hop whips as fast as possible. Please leave comments and if you enjoy the video and find it helpful PLEASE share it. We are having a hard time building up a subscriber base as large as we used to have. Remember these how tos are strictly FOR YOU. If they don't help, tell us now and we won't ever make one again... Although I have a feeling you may find the opposite to be true.

Hey Adam. I noticed on my kids stock hub, if i tighten the chain too much it puts too much strain on the hub. The flange between the crank arm and sprocket seems like a good idea. Does that put extra strain on the crank bearings?

[@AdamLZ]

Ruff BMX Naa, all it really does is create friction, they wear out though.

[@RuffBMX]

LZ BMX Cool man, thanks!

[@ethanreuer6191]

+Adam LZ Hey Adam. I'm looking to get into Bmx but I don't really now a good bike to start with that'ts not crazy expensive. Would I be better to build my own with cheep parts or buy a pre-assembled one? Also what brand of bikes for pre-assembled are good and what are good aftermarket parts for the future? Thanks in Advance!

[@unbrokenbmx2865]

[@JasonMisterDude]

Adam, watching this as a long term follower/subscriber, I appreciate you having the same vibe/way of expressing your explanations of how to approach something, whether it be drifting or how to do a "basic" bmx trick. Thank you for keeping it real throughout the years of exposure regardless of the pressure you've faced as a public figure! Even your older content is helping me get back into BMX while simultaneously building a drift machine!

[@gladiusxx1]

If u learning it only on the flatground - How long it will be?

Bmx is insane... imma stick to scooters y'all can have this

[@Fluppi666]

Can you do tailwhips/barspins if you have a brake?

[@jordanbudge4708]

If you have a rotational brake then yes but if you've got a standard break , it wont work cause the cables will jam, ? ( back brake)

[@harryford7021]

Depends if you have a lot of slack or giro

[@big7491]

Hey adam, i'm fuckfooted, i ride left foot forward, should i just try them all arm or should i learn them kicking with my back foot (which feels really weird to me)

[@emileewells518]

I AM to use your left foot and wip your bike around go over your handle bars and land on ground 1st so you dont mess up 1st try

[@iambilly610]

I learned them on a box jump. Not jumping the whole thing just flying out and landing flat on top. My biggest mistake was not keeping my weight over the bars. I was way off the back of the bike.

[@coltonadam2429]

Ive been trying tail whips and when ever i land i land beside my bike and i bend my rim a bit, any tips on that???

[@THEUNSEENBMX]

thanks for teaching this tricks and please send me backflip ramp dimensions ans angle

[@iannihilate2641]

My tailwhip dips at 180 (halfway) then levels out at at 270 (3/4) the way round i have landed about 5-6 since learning them 3 days ago, any tips on keeping it level all the way round?

[@nathenferris2279]

hey adam, so i quit for a couple of years had my whips dialed but now i am back in it i'm majorly f*ck footed, and everything is backwards do you have any tips on how to retrain my footing? i tried kickin oppo, kicked farther back i even went all arms and i dont think i can fix it unless i fix my footing. so any pointers on how to be un-f*ck footed? lol

I have a 24" bmx and its so hard to bring the frame around, I don't know if the size of the bike makes a difference

[@michaelvantress4155]

hey adam, I'm getting very close to tailwhips but you didn't say what I should do with the problem I'm having.bwhen I whip it around I put my front foot on but end up not putting ye back on and I push the bike out away from me it almost looks like a weird can can. could you give me a tip?

[@deadby2733]

Dude i cannot help but catch my seat with my back foot. Wtf do i do can someone please give me the golden tip to get on my back crank?

[@tomphillips8686]

Hey Adam I'm left foot forward but kick my whips to the right, should I try the other way or carry on doing it the same as I can get over the bike just I can't find my pedals

[@AlizioHerman]

I thought that beeping in the beginning was my waffle maker

[@JAMNCREW]

Hey adam great tutorial, I can tailwhip but I land my front foot first but my back foot always seems to go on my frame/seat, any suggestions

[@RuKaylee]

There's a problem, Iam right foot forwards but when I tailwhip my dominate foot for it is left in tailwhips

[@colbymon]

When I do hop whips I can get the bike all the way around fairly consistently, but cant find the pedals, and then sometimes I just make it to the seat and my left leg doesnt make it over the bike and then I end up kinda sitting on the seat sideways. Any Tips???

[@kolar999]

i do whips very unusual..i actually don't pinch my legs together when i'm doing them...instead i spread them like i were doing a nfcc dunno why..its not a problem out of flyouts but when ill be learning them flat they will give me problems i think :)

[@dylanmcintyre7572]

Adam, I used to be able to tail whip, almost every go Now whenever I try to do one, I catch it quite high front pedal but i can never get my back foot on and it always hits the floor, even when I go slower and don't get as much height, I can't get my back foot on Any tips?

[@FayTownBMX]

i have a problem where every time i catch them with my front foot i hit my ankle on the cranks, i cant seem to stop doing it either:/ even if i land one ill still end up hitting the inside of my ankle somewhere

[@lCaKeSl]

Your bike looks pretty light, does the weight of it matter? I'm currently boring a 35-40lb bike from a friend and it feels like I'll never be able to get it around in time (or get enough air for that matter)

[@AdamLZHowtos]

I like tangerines?

[@NachoPelliccioni]

I have a problem landing my whip. I can get it to spin and everything but I can't put my feet on the pedals or the cranks. I get it all the way around but I just can't get my feet on. Any tips?

[@Mrbmx1023]

what if im throwing my whips and the bike completely goes to my side and i cant bring my foot over and catch with my other foot and cant get my leg over, what am i doing wrong?

[@Enviiyous]

I ride left foot forward, but i grind and do my 180 and 360's to my right. When i do a footjam i feel more comfortable spinning to my right. i guess im just a really weird rider.

[@devlust]

Dude, you can be sure there's no other How To's videos like yours, bad thing is there are just a few videos, YET, i hope :P Keep doing a good work and you will always have your veiwers.

[@zekern1234]

Hey guys. I recently got back into bmx about 3 weeks ago and i can get the taiwhip in between my legs but i cant catch the pedals. Can anyone give me some adivce?

[@dyllonstokes2652]

I never really tried tailwhips because when I first started riding I lived next to a good skate park and when i got good and was able to do stuff i lived near a crappy skatepark and never tried them unless i went to a good skatepark but recently ive gotten so close to them i get the bike under me almost every time but i have my bars a little to high up but ive gotten a few good ones where i did it good it was just me not getting my feet back on. Im left foot and righty but i got barspins with left hand good so thats not much of problem except for hop bars are a little harder

[@brad4194]

I'm goofy footed. I'm left foot forward but kicking the bike counter-clockwise is comfortable. Also since I'm left foot forward I fakie out to the left.

[@KrisBaughBmx]

I've been landing over whips for 2 months and can only catch back foot... Simeon told me I have to relearn whips to get front foot first is that true???

[@genutubmx]

I got a problem,when i try doing whips i land only with the front foot and i can t get my back foot over the framw,what should i do?

[@MRmacpro10]

im 11 and im tiny and really small but i can do quite a bit and im goofy and i just like get it round and it hits my knne and flop what do i do

[@toddert7697]

You see, my biggest problem is the closest skatepark to me is 2 hours away...

[@aricherweck6052]

beefy shoes are a must. practically break my toe everytime I try one in vans haha

[@p0g98]

how is it compaired to foot jam whips. i have them dialed but never really got into tailwhips, id say im intermediate rider, i dont have verry good fly outs they are rounded and shitty

[@jhianjeisantoshernandez673]

very nice boss but you forget about the position of the nee and legs im still learning to tailwhip few weeks ago but i still don t make my nee fold as your video show i still make it straight while im whipping and i always hit my hips and legs with my front tire or fork and it hurts a lot so do you have any idea to prevent it ?

[@martinbaderko97]

i can do eveything with the spinning of the bike but how do you get your legs to come back to catch the pedals after kicking it?

[@bobshob6997]

I'm rift foot forward and kick to the left it feels comfortable and I can spin it to like just about to jump I the pedals

[@HandsOfTime1]

I have no ramps near me at all, so im determined to land it flat. yesterday i was almost able to get my front foot on!

[@mitchwastak]

i am consistent at getting my whips around and land with bike right by my side, but can not get bike under me, any tips anyone?

[@emmadepasquale2769]

Yo l ga the half tailwhip and l read every single day but how long does tailwhip gonna take me

[@AlexAits]

I wouldn't say its 50% arms 50% kick, I don't even kick and I'm fine with getting it around if anything it's easier

[@MrBb2425]

What if your a kid and you can't hold the bike upside down and it's to heavy

[@joshgagnon1656]

When i wip i get them constently but i always land my back foot on my seat lol how do i prevent that ?

[@susanaayensa9676]

In bike is hard to tailwhip but in sccoter is so easy my grandson said

Get some pro shit off craigslist. $150-250. You don't want to buy a bike with unsealed bearings (all new cheap bikes) make sure it has mid bb bottom bracket and integrated headset. Thats what's most important. Sealed hubs are nice too but you can always buy some new ones.

[@J4K_Shred]

the Se every day is about 300$, but you can save some money if you buy it buy someone like on ebay, look for frames from Hyper, cult, shadow warrior, snafu, thoose are tood bmx brands
