How to Tailwhip on a Scooter

Scooter · Tailwhip

Kicking the deck to spin 360 degrees around the handlebars before landing.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Hop. Get a solid bunny hop so you have time in the air.
  2. Kick. Kick the deck with your back foot so it spins 360° around the bars while you stay over the bars.
  3. 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.
