How to Tailwhip on a BMX

BMX · Tailwhip

Table of contents

Kicking the frame of the bike 360 degrees around the handlebars.

Step-by-step instructions

Hop. Get a strong bunny hop or jump. You need good air time.
Kick. Kick the frame with your feet so it rotates 360° around the headset while you stay over the bars.
Catch. Watch the pedals come around and land your feet back on them as the frame completes the rotation.

Commit to the kick. Stay over the bars; don't follow the frame. Practice on a flyout or trampoline first.

Tailwhip = frame spins around the bars. Barspin = bars spin while the frame stays under you.
