How to Tailwhip on a Scooter
Scooter · Tailwhip
Kicking the deck to spin 360 degrees around the handlebars before landing.
Step-by-step instructions
- Hop. Get a solid bunny hop so you have time in the air.
- Kick. Kick the deck with your back foot so it spins 360° around the bars while you stay over the bars.
- Catch. Watch the deck come around and land your feet back on it as it completes the rotation.
Tips for success
Commit to the kick. Stay over the bars; don't follow the deck. One of the most iconic scooter tricks.
